Commentary
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleWith
good will - Μετ' ευνοιας· With cheerfulness; do not take up your
service as a cross, or bear it as a burden; but take it as coming in the
order of God's providence, and a thing that is pleasing to him.

February 6. "Praying Always for all Saints" (Eph. vi. 18). "Praying
always for all saints" (Eph. vi. 18). One good counsel will suffice
just now. Stop praying so much for yourself; begin to ask unselfish
things, and see if God won't give you faith. See how much easier it will
be to believe for another than for your own petty self. Try the effect
of praying for the world, for definite things, for difficult things, for
glorious things, for things that will honor Christ and save mankind,
and after you have received a few wonderful answers to prayer in this …Rev. A. B. Simpson—Days of Heaven Upon Earth The Panoply of God'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.'--Eph. vi. 13. The
military metaphor of which this verse is the beginning was obviously
deeply imprinted on Paul's mind. It is found in a comparatively
incomplete form in his earliest epistle, the first to the Thessalonians,
in which the children of the day are exhorted to put on the breastplate
of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. It
reappears, in a slightly …Alexander Maclaren—Expositions of Holy Scripture Ephesians, Peter,JohnThe Wide Range of God's Grace'Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.'--Eph. vi. 24. In turning to the great words which I have read as a text, I ask you to mark their width and their simplicity. They are wide; they follow a very comprehensive benediction, with which, so to speak, they are concentric. But they sweep a wider circle. The former verse says, 'Peace be to the brethren.' But beyond the brethren in these Asiatic churches (as a kind of circular letter to whom this epistle was probably sent) …Alexander Maclaren—Expositions of Holy Scripture Ephesians, Peter,John
The Sword of the SpiritDifficulties meet us even in standing our ground; for the apostle, two or three times, bids us--"Stand." In the rush of the fight, men are apt to be carried off their legs. If they can keep their footing, they will be victorious; but if they are borne down by the rush of their adversaries, everything is lost. You are to put on the heavenly armor in order that you may stand; and you will need it to maintain the position in which your Captain has placed you. If even to stand requires all this care, …Charles Haddon Spurgeon—Spurgeon's Sermons Volume 37: 1891
