Stand--The repetition in Eph 6:11, Eph 6:14, shows that standing, that is, maintaining our ground, not yielding or fleeing, is the grand aim of the Christian soldier. Translate as Greek, "Having girt about your loins with truth," that is, with truthfulness, sincerity, a good conscience (Co2 1:12; Ti1 1:5, Ti1 1:18; Ti1 3:9). Truth is the band that girds up and keeps together the flowing robes, so as that the Christian soldier may be unencumbered for action. So the Passover was eaten with the loins girt, and the shoes on the feet (Exo 12:11; compare Isa 5:27; Luk 12:35). Faithfulness (Septuagint, "truth") is the girdle of Messiah (Isa 11:5) : so truth of His followers. having on--Greek, "having put on." breastplate of righteousness-- (Isa 59:17), similarly of Messiah. "Righteousness" is here joined with "truth," as in Eph 5:9 : righteousness in works, truth in words [ESTIUS] (Jo1 3:7). Christ's righteousness inwrought in us by the Spirit. "Faith and love," that is, faith working righteousness by love, are "the breastplate" in Th1 5:8.

The apostle proceeds in the exhortation to relative duties which he began in the former, particularly he insists on the duties of children and parents, and of servants and masters (Eph 6:1-9). II. He exhorts and directs Christians how to behave themselves in the spiritual warfare with the enemies of their souls; and to the exercise of several Christian graces, which he proposes to them as so many pieces of spiritual armour, to preserve and defend them in the conflict (Eph 6:10-18). III. We have here the conclusion of the epistle, in which he takes his leave of them, recommending himself to the prayers of the believing Ephesians, and praying for them (Eph 6:19-24).
افتح المصدر ↗6:14-17 Paul uses the physical armor worn by Roman soldiers as imagery for spiritual armor used by believers. Most of this equipment is to defend, not to attack. Paul’s focus is not on the precise functions of each piece but on God’s gifts. Grounding in Christ and Scripture provides protection and ability to stand your ground (cp. Jas 4:7; 1 Pet 5:8-9). 6:14 God’s righteousness: Either the righteousness God credits to those who believe in Christ, or the righteous way of life brought about by the transforming work of the Spirit of God in believers’ lives. The one implies the other.

فَلَبِسَ الْبِرَّ كَدِرْعٍ، وَخُوذَةَ الْخَلاَصِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. وَلَبِسَ ثِيَابَ الانْتِقَامِ كَلِبَاسٍ، وَاكْتَسَى بِالْغَيْرَةِ كَرِدَاءٍ.
وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ نَهَارٍ، فَلْنَصْحُ لاَبِسِينَ دِرْعَ الإِيمَانِ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ، وَخُوذَةً هِيَ رَجَاءُ الْخَلاَصِ.
وَيَكُونُ الْبِرُّ مِنْطَقَهَ مَتْنَيْهِ، وَالأَمَانَةُ مِنْطَقَةَ حَقْوَيْهِ.
«لِتَكُنْ أَحْقَاؤُكُمْ مُمَنْطَقَةً وَسُرُجُكُمْ مُوقَدَةً،
فِي كَلاَمِ الْحَقِّ، فِي قُوَّةِ اللهِ بِسِلاَحِ الْبِرِّ لِلْيَمِينِ وَلِلْيَسَارِ.
لِذلِكَ مَنْطِقُوا أَحْقَاءَ ذِهْنِكُمْ صَاحِينَ، فَأَلْقُوا رَجَاءَكُمْ بِالتَّمَامِ عَلَى النِّعْمَةِ الَّتِي يُؤْتَى بِهَا إِلَيْكُمْ عِنْدَ اسْتِعْلاَنِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.
لأَنَّ ثَمَرَ الرُّوحِ هُوَ فِي كُلِّ صَلاَحٍ وَبِرّ وَحَقّ.
وَهكَذَا رَأَيْتُ الْخَيْلَ فِي الرُّؤْيَا وَالْجَالِسِينَ عَلَيْهَا، لَهُمْ دُرُوعٌ نَارِيَّةٌ وَأَسْمَانْجُونِيَّةٌ وَكِبْرِيتِيَّةٌ، وَرُؤُوسُ الْخَيْلِ كَرُؤُوسِ الأُسُودِ، وَمِنْ أَفْوَاهِهَا يَخْرُجُ نَارٌ وَدُخَانٌ وَكِبْرِيتٌ.
وَكَانَ لَهَا دُرُوعٌ كَدُرُوعٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَصَوْتُ أَجْنِحَتِهَا كَصَوْتِ مَرْكَبَاتِ خَيْل كَثِيرَةٍ تَجْرِي إِلَى قِتَال.
