Ephesians 6:11–24

¹¹put on the whole armour of God, for your being able to stand against the wiles of the devil, ¹²because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places; ¹³because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done—to stand. ¹⁴Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth, and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness, ¹⁵and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good-news of the peace; ¹⁶above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench, ¹⁷and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God, ¹⁸through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

¹⁹And in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news, ²⁰for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may speak freely—as it behoveth me to speak. ²¹And that ye may know—ye also—the things concerning me—what I do, all things make known to you shall Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful ministrant in the Lord, ²²whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that ye might know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your hearts. ²³Peace to the brethren, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! ²⁴The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ—undecayingly! Amen.
