Ephesians 6:10-20

10Finally, 1be strong in the Lord and in 2the strength of His might. 113Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the 4schemes of the devil. 12For our 5struggle is not against 67flesh and blood, but 8against the rulers, against the powers, against the 9world forces of this 10darkness, against the 11spiritual forces of wickedness in 12the heavenly places. 13Therefore, take up 13the full armor of God, so that you will be able to 14resist on 15the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14Stand firm therefore, 16having belted your waist with truth, and having 17put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and having 18strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; 1619in addition to all, taking up the 20shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the 21flaming arrows of 22the evil one. 17And take 23the helmet of salvation and the 24sword of the Spirit, which is 25the word of God.

1826With every 27prayer and request, 2829pray at all times 30in the Spirit, and with this in view, 3132be alert with all 33perseverance and every 34request for all the 35saints, 19and 36pray in my behalf, that speech may be given to me 37in the opening of my mouth, to make known with 38boldness 39the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an 40ambassador 41in 42chains; that 43in proclaiming it I may speak 44boldly, 45as I ought to speak.
