Ephesians
6:10-20
(10) Finally, be strong in the Lord
and in the strength of his might.
(11) Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of
the devil.
(12) For we do not wrestle against
flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the
cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil
in the heavenly places.
(13) Therefore take up the whole
armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
(14) Stand therefore, having
fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of
righteousness,
(15) and,
as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of
peace.
(16) In all circumstances take up
the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the
evil one;
(17) and
take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God,
(18) praying
at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep
alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
(19) and
also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to
proclaim the mystery of the gospel,
(20) for
which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to
speak.
