Ephesians 6:10

Τοῦ λοιποῦ. ‘For the time to come,’ Galatians 6:17.

ἐνδυναμοῦσθε ἐν κυρίῳ. Cf. Philippians 4:13; 1 Timothy 1:12; 2 Timothy 2:1; 2 Timothy 4:17. ‘Be strengthened.’ Notice the passive ‘Lay yourself open to the invigorating forces that will fill your being as you realize your vital union with the Lord.’

καὶ ἐν τῷ κράτει τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ. Ephesians 1:19. ‘The triumphant power of His might.’ St Paul’s prayers for his correspondents in Ephesians 1:19; Ephesians 3:16 require this response on their side if they are to be effectual. The thought of the whole verse has a close parallel in John 16:33.
