It conveys the idea of preparing for battle or equipping oneself with necessary tools or weapons. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe spiritual preparation and readiness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of arming oneself was closely associated with the life of a soldier. Greek hoplites were heavily armed infantry soldiers, and the term ὅπλον referred to their armor and weapons. The act of ὁπλίζω would have been understood as a crucial step in preparing for warfare, emphasizing readiness and protection.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3696.htm">hoplon</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to make ready, to equip<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>arm (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3695: ὁπλίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὁπλίζω</span></span>: (1 aorist middle imperative 2 person plural <span class="greek2">ὁπλίσασθε</span>); (<span class="greek2">ὅπλον</span>); from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <span class="accented">to arm, furnish with arms</span>; universally, <span class="accented">to provide</span>; middle <span class="greek2">τί</span>, <span class="accented">to furnish oneself with a thing</span> (as with arms); metaphorically, <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">αὐτήν</span> <span class="greek2">ἔννοιαν</span> <span class="greek2">ὁπλίσασθε</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
