Put on the Full Armor...
Ephesians 6:11
Excerpt
The form of the Greek imperative put on indicates that believers are responsible for putting on God’s (not their) full armor(panoplian, also in v. Eph. 6:13; all the armor and weapons together were called the hapla; cf. 2 Cor. 6:7) with all urgency. The detailed description of the armor (given in Eph. 6:14-17) may stem from Paul’s being tied to a Roman soldier while in prison awaiting trial (cf. Acts 28:16, Acts 28:20). More
