Summary/Abstract: This study starts by presenting the pervasiveness of the warfare motif throughout the New Testament. The next part sets out the general coordinates of the biblical conception of demonic powers their identity and their opposition to God, Christ, and His people. It then continues by depicting the Pauline vision of the Christain life as a struggle against the evil spirits and analyzes the Christian’s panoply and the aspects of the Christian battle mentioned by St. Paul in the analyzed fragment. At the end of the study, the main ideas are recapitulated and applied shortly to the pandemic situation.
