Finally, be strong
in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Put on the full armor
of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
For 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.
Therefore 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. Stand firm then,
with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the
breastplate of righteousness in place,
and with your feet
fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all
this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all
the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of
salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And 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.
