Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Ephesians 6:10

"Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might." — Ephesians 6:10 (ASV)

Paul now begins his final instructions in this letter. His addressees are to let themselves be strengthened in Christ himself . Even though victory is secure, it has to be won through battle. All the resources that the Christian soldier needs are drawn from Christ and “his mighty power.” Three of the four words for power in Eph 1:19 (see comment) are brought together again here. Paul’s readers will recall that this is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead (1:20) and brought them to life when they were dead in trespasses and sins (2:1). Its adequacy cannot possibly be in doubt.
