‏ Ephesians 6:13

the evil day--the day of Satan's special assaults (Ep 6:12, 16) in life and at the dying hour (compare Re 3:10). We must have our armor always on, to be ready against the evil day which may come at any moment, the war being perpetual (Psa 41:1, Margin).

done all--rather, "accomplished all things," namely, necessary to the fight, and becoming a good soldier.
