Douay Rheims Bible

For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.

King James Bible - Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

World English Bible

For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Ephesians 6:12

Early Christian Commentary - (A.D. 100 - A.D. 325)

Anf-01 v.ii.xiii Pg 6
Eph. vi. 12.



Anf-01 ix.ii.xi Pg 5
Eph. vi. 12.

and the angels who transgressed and became apostates, together with the ungodly, and unrighteous, and wicked, and profane among men, into everlasting fire; but may, in the exercise of His grace, confer immortality on the righteous, and holy, and those who have kept His commandments, and have persevered in His love, some from the beginning [of their Christian course], and others from [the date of] their repentance, and may surround them with everlasting glory.

See Eph. vi. 12; and 1 Cor. xi. 18.

wherewith we also, my brethren, may fairly expect to have “to wrestle,” as necessary for faith, that the elect may be made manifest, (and) that the reprobate may be discovered. And therefore they possess influence, and a facility in thinking out and fabricating2260

2260 Instruendis.

errors, which ought not to be wondered at as if it were a difficult and inexplicable process, seeing that in profane writings also an example comes ready to hand of a similar facility. You see in our own day, composed out of Virgil,2261

2261 Oehler reads “ex Vergilio,” although the Codex Agobard. as “ex Virgilio.”

a story of a wholly different character, the subject-matter being arranged according to the verse, and the verse according to the subject-matter. In short,2262

2262 Denique. [“Getica lyra.”]

Hosidius Geta has most completely pilfered his tragedy of Medea from Virgil. A near relative of my own, among some leisure productions2263

2263 Otis.

of his pen, has composed out of the same poet The Table of Cebes. On the same principle, those poetasters are commonly called Homerocentones, “collectors of Homeric odds and ends,” who stitch into one piece, patchwork fashion, works of their own from the lines of Homer, out of many scraps put together from this passage and from that (in miscellaneous confusion). Now, unquestionably, the Divine Scriptures are more fruitful in resources of all kinds for this sort of facility. Nor do I risk contradiction in saying2264

2264 Nec periclitor dicere. [Truly, a Tertullianic paradox; but compare 2 Pet. iii. 16. N.B. Scripture the test of heresy.]

that the very Scriptures were even arranged by the will of God in such a manner as to furnish materials for heretics, inasmuch as I read that “there must be heresies,”2265

2265


Anf-03 v.iv.vi.xviii Pg 45
Eph. vi. 12.

what a host of Creator Gods there must be!6046

6046 An ironical allusion to Marcion’s interpretation, which he has considered in a former chapter, of the title God of this world.

For why should I not insist upon this point here, that he ought to have mentioned but oneruler of this world,” if he meant only the Creator to be the being to whom belonged all the powers which he previously mentioned? Again, when in the preceding verse he bids us “put on the whole armour of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil,”6047

6047


Anf-03 v.iv.vi.xviii Pg 48
Eph. vi. 12.

which we also ascribe to the devil’s authority?  Else, if “the devil” means the Creator, who will be the devil in the Creator’s dispensation?6049

6049 Apud Creatorem.

As there are two gods, must there also be two devils, and a plurality of powers and rulers of this world? But how is the Creator both a devil and a god at the same time, when the devil is not at once both god and devil? For either they are both of them gods, if both of them are devils; or else He who is God is not also devil, as neither is he god who is the devil. I want to know indeed by what perversion6050

6050 Ex qua delatura.

the word devil is at all applicable to the Creator. Perhaps he perverted some purpose of the superior godconduct such as He experienced Himself from the archangel, who lied indeed for the purpose.  For He did not forbid (our first parents) a taste of the miserable tree,6051

6051 Illius arbusculæ.

from any apprehension that they would become gods; His prohibition was meant to prevent their dying after the transgression.  But “the spiritual wickedness6052

6052 Spiritalia nequitiæ: “wicked spirits.”

did not signify the Creator, because of the apostle’s additional description, “in heavenly places;”6053

6053


Anf-03 v.iv.vi.xviii Pg 53
Eph. vi. 12.

for the apostle was quite aware that “spiritual wickedness” had been at work in heavenly places, when angels were entrapped into sin by the daughters of men.6054

6054


Anf-03 v.iv.vi.xviii Pg 55
Ut taxaret. Of course he alludes to Marcion’s absurd exposition of the 12th verse, in applying St. Paul’s description of wicked spirits to the Creator.

the Creator, when he displayed to the Church such constancy and plainness of speech in “making known the mystery of the gospel for which he was an ambassador in bonds,” owing to his liberty in preaching—and actually requested (the Ephesians) to pray to God that this “open-mouthed utterance” might be continued to him?6056

6056 Eph. vi. 19, 20.



Anf-03 v.vi.xxii Pg 8
Irenæus’ word is Κοσμοκράτωρ; see also Eph. vi. 12.

(Ruler of the World), and maintain that, as he is of a spiritual nature, he has a better knowledge of the things above than the Demiurge, an animal being. He deserves from them the pre-eminence which all heresies provide him with.
