For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
The Scriptures of God do not unfrequently make use of similitudes, to represent divine things by. And among the many, the figure of a Warrior, is often referred to, by way of illustration. And it is very striking. For the whole life of a child of God, from the moment of regeneration, until grace is finished in glory, is nothing but one continued warfare. And the holy warrior is never unclad of his spiritual armour, until he is undressed at death.
