The discussion continues the next night of family devotions. Now Peter is the one dressing up.
The "weapon" in this passage is the sword or the Word of God. That is the only offensive article. Everything else is defensive and protective.
When Christ was confronting Satan He only used this same sword. And it was a sword that He himself had crafted!
We under estimate and under utilize our weapon. In the Greek and Roman armor that Paul was getting this vivid picture from there were other weapons. There were spears, bows, arrows and even more vicious weapons. But we Christians are only armed with a sword. The implication would have been clear to his readers at the time that the other weapons were for other kinds of fighters. But all this comes up in the following dramas. You'll just have to wait.
I have this in French for your listening pleasure.
