📚 Historical Context
The Epistle to the Ephesians was written by the Apostle Paul around 60 AD while he was imprisoned in Rome, addressing a church in Ephesus, a prominent city in the Roman Empire known for its idol worship and spiritual influences. In Ephesians 6, Paul transitions from discussing everyday Christian living and relationships to the topic of spiritual warfare, urging believers to prepare for battles against unseen forces. This verse serves as an introductory call for Christians to rely on God's strength rather than their own.
