Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
The wiles of the devil are his schemes. Paul says to put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against them. The wrestle is not against flesh and blood. It is against principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness, and spiritual wickedness. The wiles are the methods. The lie in the garden. The accusation. The snare. The angel of light. We are not ignorant of his devices. The armour is given so the saint can stand.
