Ephesians 6:11-18
Put on the full armor of God so that you can
take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
12For
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.
13Therefore 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.
14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled
around your waist,
with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that
comes from the gospel of peace.
16In addition to all this, take up the shield of
faith, with which you
can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil
one.
17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the
Spirit,
which is the word of God.
18And 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.
