1Thessalonians:5:8 @{Putting on the breastplate of faith and love} (\endusamenoi thraka pistes kai agaps\). First aorist (ingressive) middle participle of \endu\. The same figure of breastplate in strkjv@Ephesians:6:14|, only there "of righteousness." The idea of watchfulness brings the figure of a sentry on guard and armed to Paul's mind as in strkjv@Romans:13:12| "the weapons of light." The word \thrax\ (breastplate) is common in the LXX. {For a helmet, the hope of salvation} (\perikephalaian elpida strias\). Same figure in strkjv@Ephesians:6:17| and both like strkjv@Isaiah:59:17|. Late word meaning around (\peri\) the head (\kephal\) and in Polybius, LXX, and in the papyri. \Strias\ is objective genitive.
