Finally
The word "finally" serves as a transition, indicating that Paul is concluding his letter to the Ephesians. In Greek, the word is "λοιπόν" (loipon), which can also mean "from now on" or "henceforth." This suggests that what follows is not just a conclusion but a call to ongoing action. Paul is urging the believers to take everything he has previously discussed and apply it in a continuous manner. Historically, this letter was written to the church in Ephesus, a city known for its idolatry and spiritual challenges, making this exhortation particularly relevant.

be strong
The phrase "be strong" is translated from the Greek "ἐνδυναμοῦσθε" (endynamousthe), which is a present passive imperative. This indicates a command to continually receive strength. The passive voice suggests that this strength is not self-generated but received from an external source. In the context of Ephesians, this strength is divine, coming from God Himself. The historical context of Ephesus, with its spiritual warfare, underscores the necessity of divine strength for believers.

in the Lord
"In the Lord" emphasizes the source of the believer's strength. The Greek phrase "ἐν Κυρίῳ" (en Kyriō) indicates a close, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This is not merely an abstract concept but a living, dynamic union with Christ. Theologically, this reflects the believer's position in Christ, a recurring theme in Ephesians. Historically, the Ephesian church was surrounded by pagan practices, making the need for strength "in the Lord" all the more critical.

and in His mighty power
The phrase "and in His mighty power" is a call to rely on God's immense strength. The Greek words "ἐν τῷ κράτει τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ" (en tō kratei tēs ischyos autou) convey the idea of God's sovereign, overwhelming power. "Κράτος" (kratos) refers to manifested power, while "ἰσχύς" (ischys) denotes inherent strength. This dual emphasis highlights both the potential and the active demonstration of God's power. Scripturally, this power is the same that raised Christ from the dead (Ephesians 1:19-20), assuring believers of its sufficiency. In the historical context of Ephesus, known for its spiritual opposition, this assurance of divine power would have been a source of great encouragement and confidence for the early Christians.

(6. Conclusion (Ephesians 6:10-24).

(1) FINAL EXHORTATION to put on the whole armour of God, in order to stand fast in the struggle, not against flesh and blood, but against unearthly powers of evil (Ephesians 6:10-17).

(2) SPECIAL DESIRE OF THEIR PRAYERS, as for themselves and for all men, so especially for St. Paul himself (Ephesians 6:18-20).

(3) COMMENDATION OF TYCHICUS (Ephesians 6:21-22). . . .

Verses 10-20. - THE CHRISTIAN WARFARE. Verse 10. - Finally. The apostle has now reached his last passage, and by this word quickens the attention of his readers and prepares them for a counsel eminently weighty in itself, and gathering up the pith and marrow, as it were, of what goes before. "My brethren," A.V., is rejected by R.V, and most modern commentators, for lack of external evidence. We note, however, that, whereas in the preceding verses he had distributed the Ephesians into groups, giving an appropriate counsel to each, he now brings them again together, and has a concluding counsel for them all. Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Compare with Ephesians 3:16, where the heavenly provision for obtaining strength is specified, and with Ephesians 4:30, where we are cautioned against a course that will fritter away that provision. The ever-recurring formula, "in the Lord," indicates the relation to Christ in which alone the strength can be experienced (comp. 2 Corinthians 12:9). The might is Christ's, but by faith it becomes our strength. As the steam-engine genders the dynamic force, which belts and wheels communicate to the inert machinery of the factory, so Christ is the source of that spiritual strength which through faith is communicated to all his people. To be strong is our duty; to be weak is our sin. Strong trust, strong courage, strong endurance, strong hope. strong love, may all be had from him, if only our fellowship with him be maintained in uninterrupted vigor.
