Ephesians 6:13-24

13Therefore, take up 1the full armor of God, so that you will be able to 2resist on 3the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14Stand firm therefore, 4having belted your waist with truth, and having 5put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and having 6strapped on your feet 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 every 15prayer and request, 1617pray at all times 18in the Spirit, and with this in view, 1920be alert with all 21perseverance and every 22request for all the 23saints, 19and 24pray in my behalf, that speech may be given to me 25in the opening of my mouth, to make known with 26boldness 27the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an 28ambassador 29in 30chains; that 31in proclaiming it I may speak 32boldly, 33as I ought to speak.

2134Now, so that you also may know about my circumstances as to 35what I am doing, 36Tychicus, 37the beloved brother and faithful 38servant in the Lord, will make everything known to you. 223940I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know 41about us, and that he may 42comfort your hearts.

2343Peace be to the brothers and sisters, and 44love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ 45with incorruptible love.
