Ephesians 6:11–24

^11aPut on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the ^bschemes of the devil.

¹²For our ^astruggle is not against ^1bflesh and blood, but ^cagainst the rulers, against the powers, against the ^dworld forces of this ^edarkness, against the ^fspiritual forces of wickedness in ^gthe heavenly places.

¹³Therefore, take up ^athe full armor of God, so that you will be able to ^bresist in ^cthe evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

¹⁴Stand firm therefore, ^ahaving girded your loins with truth, and having ^bput on the breastplate of righteousness,

¹⁵and having ^ashod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

¹⁶¹in addition to all, taking up the ^ashield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the ^bflaming arrows of ^cthe evil one.

¹⁷And take ^athe helmet of salvation, and the ^bsword of the Spirit, which is ^cthe word of God.

¹⁸¹With all ^aprayer and petition ^2bpray at all times ^cin the Spirit, and with this in view, ^3dbe on the alert with all ^eperseverance and ^fpetition for all the saints,

¹⁹and ^apray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me ^bin the opening of my mouth, to make known with ^cboldness ^dthe mystery of the gospel,

²⁰for which I am an ^aambassador ^bin ¹chains; that ²in proclaiming it I may speak ^cboldly, ^das I ought to speak.

^21aBut that you also may know about my circumstances, ¹how I am doing, ^bTychicus, ^cthe beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you.

^221aI have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know ²about us, and that he may ^bcomfort your hearts.

^23aPeace be to the brethren, and ^blove with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁴Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ ¹with incorruptible love.
