<p>6:11 <i>Put on the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil</i>- Having spoken of the strengthening of the Spirit in :10, we are reminded that we must seek that strengthening; we must put on the armour. Our battle is essentially spiritual (:12), and so we need the armour of the Spirit. It is the Spirit which will empower us against temptation, but we must seek to put it on. See on :12.</p>
