Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:10–20: Paul told believers how to fight against Satan

In this section, Paul compared the Christian to a soldier fighting in a war. The Christian’s enemies are not human, but supernatural. Christians are fighting against the devil and all the powers of evil, and they must use all the weapons that God gives them. Paul described six pieces of equipment that the Roman soldier of that time used (see the picture below), and he compared each one to something spiritual that will help Christians to overcome Satan. Then Paul also reminded Christians to pray at all times. He told them to pray for their fellow believers and to pray for him so that he would be able to proclaim the gospel without fear.

Here are some other examples for a heading for this section:

Wear the full armour of God (NCV)

Put on all the armour that God supplies (GW)

Christians should prepare and fight against evil spiritual forces

6:10

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

¶ My last word to you^(plur) is this: Make yourselves strong in the Lord. Get your strength from his great power.
¶ In conclusion, I say this to you: get/become spiritually strong from the mighty power of the Lord Jesus.

Finally: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Finally indicates that here Paul began to speak about a different topic. Paul also started to conclude his letter, but he still had some things to say. You should use a word or phrase that indicates that Paul changed topics and started to end his letter.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

A final word (NLT)

In conclusion

My finishing words to you are these:

be strong in the Lord: This is a command, and you should translate it in the form of a command. This refers to spiritual strength, not physical strength. For example:

Get strength from the Lord

Make yourself strong by means of your connection with the Lord

Lord: Here the word Lord refers to Christ.

in His mighty power: We are to get our strength from the Lord.

Here is another way to translate these words:

Let him make you strong with his mighty power
