Ephesians 6:13-24

13Therefore, take up 1the full armor of God, so that you will be able to 2resist in 3the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14Stand firm therefore, 4having girded your loins with truth, and having 5put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and having 6shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 167in addition to all, taking up the 8shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the 9flaming arrows of 10the evil one. 17And take 11the helmet of salvation, and the 12sword of the Spirit, which is 13the word of God.

1814With all 15prayer and petition 1617pray at all times 18in the Spirit, and with this in view, 1920be on the alert with all 21perseverance and 22petition for all the saints, 19and 23pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me 24in the opening of my mouth, to make known with 25boldness 26the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an 27ambassador 28in 29chains; that 30in proclaiming it I may speak 31boldly, 32as I ought to speak.

2133But that you also may know about my circumstances, 34how I am doing, 35Tychicus, 36the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you. 223738I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know 39about us, and that he may 40comfort your hearts.

2341Peace be to the brethren, and 42love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ 43with incorruptible love.
