Paul is wrapping up his letter to the Ephesians, which has addressed various aspects of Christian living, including unity, spiritual gifts, and relationships. The use of "finally" suggests that what follows is of utmost importance, serving as a capstone to the teachings provided earlier in the letter.<p><b>be strong in the Lord</b><br>The strength mentioned here is not of human origin but is found in a relationship with the Lord. This phrase emphasizes reliance on God's power rather than one's own abilities. The concept of being "in the Lord" is central to Pauline theology, highlighting the believer's union with Christ. This strength is necessary for spiritual warfare, as outlined in the subsequent verses. The idea of divine strength is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/philippians/4-13.htm">Philippians 4:13</a>, where Paul states, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."<p><b>and in His mighty power</b><br>This phrase underscores the source of the believer's strength: God's mighty power. The Greek word for "power" here is "kratos," which often refers to God's sovereign and overwhelming strength. This power is the same that raised Christ from the dead (<a href="/ephesians/1-19.htm">Ephesians 1:19-20</a>), indicating its immense capability. The reference to God's power also connects to Old Testament themes, such as the deliverance of Israel from Egypt, where God's mighty hand was evident.

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. <span class="cmt_word">Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.</span> Compare with <a href="/ephesians/3-16.htm">Ephesians 3:16</a>, where the heavenly provision for obtaining strength is specified, and with <a href="/ephesians/4-30.htm">Ephesians 4:30</a>, 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. <a href="/2_corinthians/12-9.htm">2 Corinthians 12:9</a>). 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. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ephesians/6-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Finally,</span><br /><span class="grk">λοιποῦ</span> <span class="translit">(loipou)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective - Genitive Neuter Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3064.htm">Strong's 3064: </a> </span><span class="str2">From now on, henceforth, finally.
