Paul used the military breastplate as an illustration of Christian virtues. Ephesians 6:14 reflects Isaiah 59:17 symbolizing the breastplate as righteousness. Faith and love are symbolized in 1 Thessalonians 5:8 . Breastplates were also strong symbols of evil (Revelation 9:9 ,Revelation 9:9,9:17 ).
