Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians

let us arm ourselves with the armour of righteousness;[26]

Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book II "We must therefore put on the panoply of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil; since the weapons of our war fire are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down reasonings, and every lofty thing which exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity unto the obedience of Christ,"[238]

Tertullian Against Marcion Book V "ruler of this world," if he meant only the Creator to be the being to whom belonged all the powers which he previously mentioned? Again, when in the preceding verse he bids us "put on the whole armour of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil,"[855]

Origen Against Celsus Book VIII

But they have no power over those who "have put on the whole armour of God," who have received strength to "withstand the wiles of the devil,"[74]

Origen Against Celsus Book VIII

And this does not conflict with our purpose not to obey the demons that are on the earth; for, "being armed with the whole armour of God, we stand"[112]
