Context of Ephesians 6:10

8knowing that whatever good each shall do, this he shall receive of [the] Lord, whether bond or free. 9And, masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no acceptance of persons with him. For the rest, brethren, be strong in [the] Lord, and in the might of his strength. 11Put on the panoply of God, that ye may be able to stand against the artifices of the devil: 12because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual [power] of wickedness in the heavenlies.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord - Paul had now stated to the Ephesians the duties which they were to perform.
