2382 thṓraks (the root of the English term, "thorax") – properly, a breastplate ("coat of mail") which protected the chest and extended down to the hips; (figuratively) what protects the heart (our capacity of moral preference). 2382 /thṓraks ("breastplate of faith-righteousness") protects the heart and its emotions (desires) as they bear on our decisions (resolutions, sympathies, etc.). See 4102 /pistis ("the Lord's inbirthed persuasion"). Eph 6:14 refers to "the breastplate of righteousness" (ton thōraka tēs dikaiosynēs) and 1 Thes 5:8 to "the breastplate (2382 /thṓraks) of faith." This indicates righteousness results from obeying the faith God births in the heart (this is confirmed in texts like Js 2:14-26). Word Origin
