(新約)
弗(Eph)
6:11 要穿戴神所賜的全副軍裝,就能抵擋魔鬼的詭計。
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
6:12 因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰,乃是與那些執政的,掌權的,管轄這幽暗世界的,以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰。(兩爭戰原都作摔跤)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

保羅這裡不是否定與屬血氣(屬肉體,屬世)的爭戰,而恰恰是治死肉體。這屬血氣的背後是掌權的魔鬼邪靈。即信徒與屬血氣肉體的爭戰,實質就是屬靈的爭戰。
正如但以理書中,天使爭戰的是波斯等國家背後的魔君。天使滅了所多瑪蛾摩拉的屬血氣肉體的人,也是屬靈爭戰一樣。
