Ephesians 6:11-24

111Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the 2schemes of the devil. 12For our 3struggle is not against 45flesh and blood, but 6against the rulers, against the powers, against the 7world forces of this 8darkness, against the 9spiritual forces of wickedness in 10the heavenly places. 13Therefore, take up 11the full armor of God, so that you will be able to 12resist in 13the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14Stand firm therefore, 14having girded your loins with truth, and having 15put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and having 16shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 1617in addition to all, taking up the 18shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the 19flaming arrows of 20the evil one. 17And take 21the helmet of salvation, and the 22sword of the Spirit, which is 23the word of God.

1824With all 25prayer and petition 2627pray at all times 28in the Spirit, and with this in view, 2930be on the alert with all 31perseverance and 32petition for all the saints, 19and 33pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me 34in the opening of my mouth, to make known with 35boldness 36the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an 37ambassador 38in 39chains; that 40in proclaiming it I may speak 41boldly, 42as I ought to speak.

2143But that you also may know about my circumstances, 44how I am doing, 45Tychicus, 46the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you. 224748I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know 49about us, and that he may 50comfort your hearts.

2351Peace be to the brethren, and 52love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ 53with incorruptible love.
