Ephesians 6:11–24

¹¹Put on the panoply of God, that ye may be able to stand against the artifices of the devil: ¹²because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual power of wickedness in the heavenlies. ¹³For this reason take to you the panoply of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having accomplished all things, to stand. ¹⁴Stand therefore, having girt about your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵and shod your feet with the preparation of the glad tidings of peace: ¹⁶besides all these, having taken the shield of faith with which ye will be able to quench all the inflamed darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷Have also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God’s word; ¹⁸praying at all seasons, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching unto this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

¹⁹and for me in order that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the glad tidings, ²⁰for which I am an ambassador bound with a chain, that I may be bold in it as I ought to speak. ²¹But in order that ye also may know what concerns me, how I am getting on, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make all things known to you; ²²whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that ye may know of our affairs and that he may encourage your hearts. ²³Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴Grace with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption.
