📚 Historical Context
Paul wrote this letter to the church in Ephesus around 60-62 AD while imprisoned in Rome. This verse begins the final section of his letter, where he prepares believers for spiritual warfare. The Ephesians lived in a city famous for magic and spiritual practices, so Paul's emphasis on God's superior power would have been particularly meaningful to them.
