Put on God’s whole armor, that you may be able successfully
to stand up against the strategies and deceits of the devil.
For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood, but against the
despotisms, against the powers, against the spirits who are the
world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces
of wickedness in the supernatural sphere.
Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to
resist and stand your ground on the evil day of danger and having
done all that the crisis demands, to stand firmly in your place.
Stand therefore having tightened the belt of truth around your loins
and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude
and right standing with God,
and having shod your feet in preparation to face the enemy with the
firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by
the good news of the Gospel of peace.
Lift up over all the covering shield of saving faith, upon which you can
quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields,
which is the Word of God.
Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and entreaty. To that end
keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceeding
in behalf of all the saints who are God’s consecrated people.
(Ephesians 6.11-18).
AMEN!
