(Eph 6:10)  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. (Eph 6:11)  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Eph 6:12)  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph 6:13)  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. (Eph 6:14)  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; (Eph 6:15)  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (Eph 6:16)  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (Eph 6:17)  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (Eph 6:18)  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

(Eph 6:10)  Finally, my brethren, be strong [empowered: enabled] in the Lord [supreme in authority], and in the power [vigor ("great"): dominion, might, strength] of his might [forcefulness: ability, power, strength].

1.       The Nelson Study Bible: “Be strong” may also be translated “be made strong.” The (Greek) passive voice would suggest that we cannot do it ourselves.

2.       The Amplified Bible: (Eph 6:10)  In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]: draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].

3.       (Eph 3:16)  That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory [glory (as very apparent): dignity, glory, glorious, honour, praise, worship], to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

Amen
