subtle assaults of Satan. In 1 Thess. 5:8 “ faith and love” are the breastplate, but this is simply another way of ex pressing the same truth, for “ faith and love” are the sum of righteousness, of obedience to God’s will (cf. 1 John 3r" 23). Let us not forget that God must furnish the righteous conduct; it too is part of “ the armor of God." The study of the Bible can be as detached from the bell-summons of the conscience as the study of Euclid. Bible study may be just a pleasant exercise and not a spiritual crusade.

But our sin cerity must be of God’s own furnishing, a part of “ the whole armor of God.” The breastplate is “ righteousness,” i. e., conforming our conduct to the will of God as revealed in His Word (cf. Rom. 14:17; Isa. 59:17; 2 Cor. 6 :7). Some take “ righteousness” in this verse to mean justification, the reckoning right eous, and not actual righteousness of conduct, but the context and Isa. 59:17 clearly show that this is a mistake.
