Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν πᾶσιν ἀναλαβόντες τὸν θυρεὸν τῆς πίστεως
in all_‹things› /having/_taken_up the shield ¬the ˱of˲_faith
In this metaphor, faith is compared to a soldier’s shield. Just as a soldier uses a shield to protect himself from enemy attacks, the believer must use the faith that God gives for protection when the devil attacks. See the UST.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῆς πίστεως
¬the ˱of˲_faith
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word faith, you could express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “that represents how much you trust in the Lord” See the UST.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὰ βέλη τοῦ πονηροῦ πεπυρωμένα
the arrows ˱of˲_the evil_‹one› /having_been/_burned
The attacks of the devil against a believer are like flaming arrows shot at a soldier by an enemy.
6:16 Faith is trust in Christ as Savior or trust in God to meet one’s needs in evil times.
• fiery arrows: Paul graphically pictures the nature of temptation to sin (cp. Matt 6:13; 26:41; 1 Cor 10:13; Jas 1:12-15). Arrows were sometimes dipped in pitch and ignited before being shot.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
