Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers… 1. Their position. They are no subalterns, but foes of mighty rank, the nobility and chieftains of the spirit world. 2. Their office. Their domain is this darkness in which they exercise imperial sway. 3. Their essence. Not encumbered with an animal frame, but "spirits." 4. Their character - "evil." Their appetite for evil only exceeds their capacity for producing it. (J. Eadie, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. |
