How many times does Paul say put on in the book of Ephesians?

Paul uses the phrase "put on" twice in the book of Ephesians. Here are the two verses from Ephesians in which this phrase is found: Ephesians 4:24 "And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Paul also uses this phrase 9 more times in other books of the Bible: once in Romans (twice if you count "put ye on"), four times in two verses in 1 Corinthians, once in Galatians, and three times in Colossians.


When did Paul write the Epistle to the Ephesians?

Another answer from our community:Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesians while he was in prison to help them to keep their faith strong, and more than this because of his love for them. Remember also the church was in it's early days, and temptations to stray from tenants where always a challenge. The Epistle to the Ephesians is believed to have been written in Paul's name in the 80s of the first century. Many passages in Ephesians were directly copied from the Epistle to the Colossians, which had been written around ten years earlier.


What was the major problem in Ephesians?

Ephesians 6:12 speaks of the fight which is not against human foes, but against the "cosmic powers, authorities and potentates of this dark world, the superhuman forces of evil in the heavens." These archons were even thought of as having political organisations like rulers on earth.However, this statement must not be thought of as coming from the apostle Paul. Most scholars say that the Epistle to the Ephesians was written in Paul's name some time between 80 and 95 CE. One clear piece of evidence to support this is that many passages in Ephesians seem to be directly copied from the Epistle to the Colossians, itself a late pseudepigraphical work attributed to Paul.


What is the relationship between Colossians and Ephesians?

Well, honey, Colossians and Ephesians are both letters in the New Testament of the Bible, so I guess you could say they're related in that way. They were written by the same guy, good ol' Paul, so you could call them like distant cousins or something. But really, they're just two separate books with their own messages and themes, so don't go thinking they're joined at the hip or anything.


Who wrote the book of Philippians?

Paul includes the name of Timotheus (Timothy) with his own at the beginning of the letter."Practically no-one, ancient or modern, has questioned the authenticity of Colossians or its Pauline authorship." The New Defender's Study Bible (Nashville, World Publishing 2006) page 1829 notes by the late Dr Henry M Morris, PhD., LL.D., Litt.D.The reasons for this are relatively simple in that Paul identifies himself as the author in both the opening and closing verses of the book. Deliberate fabrication was not tolerated in the early church and there is a record of an officer being dismissed for adding an apostle to a document he wrote to give it authority. New Testament writings were simply not accepted unless it was known who wrote them. This is one reason why a number were late in being included into the canon. Colossians 1:1-2 (King James Version)1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,2To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.The opening verse indicates that Timothy co-authored the letter with Paul.
