Ephesians 6:11

The armor of God

10 One final word: Become strong through the Lord and through the mighty power of his strength! 11 Put on the complete armor of God, that you may be able to withstand all the devil's insidious attacks. 12 For we do not fight against men of flesh and blood, but against the evil powers and authorities of the unseen world, against the powers of darkness that rule this world and against the evil spirits in the heavenly places. 13 Make use of the whole armor of God. When the time comes, you will be able to resist evil and still stand upright when you have won the battle. 14 Make sure that you stand firm by surrounding yourselves with the belt of truth and the armor of God's righteousness. 15 Let your feet stand for the good news that proclaims peace with God. 16 Use faith as a shield to ward off the fiery darts of Satan. 17 Put on the helmet of your salvation[3] and take the word of God, your sword, which the Spirit gives you. 18 Pray always and in every situation with the power of the Holy Spirit. Remain vigilant and also pray constantly for all who belong to Christ[4]. 19 Pray also for me, asking God to give me the right words as I boldly share the mystery of his good news. 20 I am in prison because I have proclaimed this message as God's messenger. Pray that I will continue to speak as openly and fearlessly as I have been instructed to do!
