Ephesians 6:10-13 · “Ephesians 6” · Streetlights

✓ VERIFIED “Ephesians 6” Streetlights Ephesians 6:10-13 Play it freely. It is Ephesians itself, read word for word in a named translation, so the armor passage arrives where Paul put it, at the end, after everything he said first.

✓ The whole book, in order, so verses 10 to 13 arrive after the household instructions of 6:1-9 rather than as a passage on their own

✓ no cautions: this is the standard

Ephesians 6:14-17 · “O Church, Arise” · Keith Getty & Stuart Townend

NOT A QUOTE “O Church, Arise” Keith Getty & Stuart Townend Ephesians 6:14-17 Sing it. It quotes nothing and never says it is scripture, and it gets the hardest part right: the enemy is the devil's lies, never people. Bring Ephesians 6 with it, because the hymn names a sword and never names the word.

✓ The one thing a battle hymn most easily gets wrong, this one gets right. No human being, group, or institution is named as the enemy anywhere in the four stanzas. The named opponent is the devil, which is where Paul puts it in verse 12

⚠ The armour is partial. Three of Paul's six items appear, the belt of truth, the shield of faith, and a sword. The breastplate of righteousness, the feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace, and the helmet of salvation are not in the hymn
