¹ tn The term ἀνθίστημι (anqisthmi) carries the idea of resisting or opposing something or someone (BDAG 80 s.v.). In Eph 6:13, when used in combination with στῆναι (sthnai; cf. also στῆτε [sthte] in v. 14) and in a context of battle imagery, it seems to have the idea of resisting, standing firm, and being able to stand your ground.

² tn Grk “by God.”

³ sn An allusion to Isa 59:17.

⁴ tn Grk “hope of salvation” (“a helmet…for salvation” is an allusion to Isa 59:17).
