The Armor of God
Ephesians 6: 10-18
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord
and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armor of God
so that you can take your
stand against the devil's schemes.
12 For our struggle is
not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers,
against the authorities,
against the powers of this dark world and
against the spiritual forces of evil
in the heavenly realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God,
so that when the
day of evil comes,
you may be able to stand your ground, and
after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then,
with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,
with the
breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet
fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this,
take up the shield of faith, with
which you can extinguish all the
flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation
and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all
occasions with all kinds of
prayers and requests. With this in
mind, be alert and always keep on
praying for all the saints.
