In 1107 Present Evil Age, Reverend Catania shows us that the Greek word aion is often translated "world" when it should be translated "age." Living in this present evil age is like climbing or flying at a high altitude.
Up in the ozone, you can die of hypoxia without suitable equipment.
It's a natural environmentfor birds though.
How do you not compromise your faith in an evil age like ours?
You use your shield of faith and wear your spiritual armor when you are in that environment.
You can go home to relax in your natural environment.
If you have the proper equipment on, the elements of the world cannot attack you and do you harm.
Don't let the adversary take you out.
