The apostle doth not exhort them for rioting and drunkenness to put on sobriety and temperance, for chambering and wantonness [to] put on chastity, as the philosopher would have done, but bids, 'put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ;' implying thus much [that] till Christ be put on, the creature is unarmed. It is not a man's morality and philosophical virtues that will repel a temptation, sent with a full charge from Satan's cannon... so that he is the man in armour, that is in Christ.
William Gurnall — The Christian in Complete Armour, on Ephesians 6:11 ('Put on the whole armour of God')
