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
John Cassian
AD 435
This is the sword that for our health spills the noxious blood that animates the matter of our sins, cutting out and excising whatever it finds in our soul that is carnal or earthly and, once it has made us dead to vices, causing us to live to God and flourish in spiritual virtues. .
