    In Ephesians 6:11 and Ephesians 6:13, the accusative singular form occurs with commands to put on or take up God's armor so that the recipients may stand and oppose. In Luke 11:22, the same form is the armor trusted by the person who is attacked, conquered, and stripped of it; the APB renders the clause "he takes away the armor in which he trusted."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB renders the term as "complete armor" in Ephesians 6:11 and Ephesians 6:13, and as "armor" in Luke 11:22. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than establish separate meanings.
