One group of combatants were called “PANKRATISTS,” The competitors were out to prove they could not be beaten and were tougher than anyone else! In order to prove this, they were permitted to kick, punch, bite, gouge, strike, break fingers, break legs, and do any other horrible thing you could possibly imagine…There was no part of the body that was off-limits. They could do anything to any part of their competitor’s body FOR THERE WERE BASICALLY NO RULES! I believe that is why Paul uses the illustration of these combatants to describe our onflict with unseen, demonic powers that have been marshaled against us for our destruction.
