And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
All Commentaries on Ephesians 6:17 Go To Ephesians 6
Gaius Marius Victorinus
AD 400
It is Christ indeed who is the author of salvation. He is our head. He descended to us and redeemed us by his own mystery. It is he indeed who guards the heads of the faithful. Therefore he is the “helmet of salvation.” He is the Word by which the adverse powers are overcome and taken captive…. Christ, who is the Word of God, was sent to overcome all corruption and wickedness and even death itself. It is in this sense that Paul refers to “the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God.” .
