Which passage emphasizes the 'armor of God' for spiritual warfare?

• A. Ephesians 6:10-18
• B. Ephesians 2:8-9
• C. Ephesians 1:3-14
• D. Ephesians 4:11-12

Answer: (A)

The main idea tested is identifying the passage that uses the armor of God to describe spiritual warfare. Ephesians 6:10-18 is the section where Paul urges believers to be strong in the Lord and to put on the full armor of God, detailing each piece (belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, gospel of peace as shoes, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, sword of the Spirit) and stressing the need for prayer. This imagery ties directly to confronting spiritual forces, not just personal or relational struggles, which is why it’s the clear match for a question about spiritual warfare. The other passages focus on different themes. One discusses salvation by grace through faith, not by works. Another outlines blessings and the divine plan in Christ. The last describes church roles in equipping the saints for ministry. None of these centers on armor or spiritual battle, so they don’t fit the prompt as closely as the armor imagery in the sixteenth chapter.
