Ephesians 6:13
13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Whenever Paul writes something down twice, he's really trying to stress a point. In Ephesians 6:11 AND in 6:13 he's telling us to put on the full armor of God so that we may STAND, and then having done all STAND. This is important for all Believers to see, we are to STAND, and we are given the armor of God in order to do so.

Ephesians 6:12
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
This verse right here is often the most ignored of all of Ephesians. People gloss over the description of Spiritual Warfare, instead deciding to keep themselves blissfully ignorant of our enemy. This passage tells us that we have a Spiritual Enemy in the High Places, therefore we must put on the armor of God to combat it. Only half our battle is physical, the rest is spiritual.

1 Corinthians 10:23
The Believer's Freedom
23“Everything is permissible”–but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible”–but not everything is constructive. In this verse, and those that follow it, Paul is speaking about lawfulness and edification. While under Christ, we are able to partake of things because we are covered in the blood, we need to be careful because not all things will edify or build us up in Christ. Within the following verses, Paul speaks on partaking of meat in particular, which can be taken in more than one way, either the spiritual or the physical.

Romans 13:11
11And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
11And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
Within this passage and the verses that follow we see a direct call to action for those who are "carnal christians" as well as those who have fallen asleep at the wheel, so to speak. We are told the time to wake up is now, and that it is definitely time for all believers to fulfill the great commission.

1 Timothy 3:16
16Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great:HeSome manuscripts God appeared in a body,Or in the fleshwas vindicated by the Spirit,was seen by angels,was preached among the nations,was believed on in the world,was taken up in glory.

This boils down the "mystery" of Christianity to its very essence.

1 Timothy 3:11
11In the same way, their wivesOr way, deaconesses are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.
11In the same way, their wivesOr way, deaconesses are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.
This lays out the Biblical standard for women with husbands in ministry. I feel that this can be a major point of contention if not studied carefully.
