13: δια τουτο αναλαβετε την πανοπλιαν του θεου ινα δυνηθητε αντιστηναι εν τη ημερα τη πονηρα και απαντα κατεργασαμενοι στηναι— edit Textus Receptus
13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.- edit KJV text
13: Therefore, take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day and to stand in all things perfect.— edit Douay text


In the evil day. The day of temptation; the day when you are violently assaulted.

And having done all, to stand. Marg., "or overcome." The Greek word means, to work out, effect, or produce; and then to work up, to make an end of, to vanquish. Robinson, Lex. The idea seems to be, that they were to overcome or vanquish all their foes, and thus to stand firm. The whole language here is taken from war; and the idea is, that every foe was to be subdued -- -no matter how numerous or formidable they might be. Safety and triumph could be looked for only when every enemy was slain.

  • "done" "overcome"
  • "done all" "subdued"
