Armor of God
The phrase "Armor of God" (Ancient Greek: πανοπλίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ, panoplian tou Theou) is derived from Ephesians 6:11: "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (King James Version). As a biblical reference, the metaphor may refer to physical armour worn by God in metaphorical battles, or it may refer to vigilant righteousness in general as bestowed by the grace of God (Romans 13:12, King James Version): "The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light." == Biblical appearance and background == Ephesians was written by Apostle Paul while he was under house arrest around 61 and 63 CE. Ephesians was not originally addressed to the Church of Ephesians but rather “to the holy ones who are faithful in Christ Jesus".
