Ephesians 6:10-20

ALT(i) 10 Finally my brothers [and sisters], continue becoming strong in [the] Lord and in the might of His strength. 11 Put on the full armor of God in order [for] youp to be able to stand firm against the tricks [or, cunning schemes] of the Devil. 12 Because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual [forces] of the wickedness in the heavenlies [or, heavenly [realms]]. 13 For this reason, take up the full armor of God, so that youp shall be able to resist in the day of evil, and having accomplished [or, overcome] everything, to stand firm. 14 Therefore, stand firm, 'having wrapped your waist around with truth,' and 'having put on the breastplate of righteousness,' [Isaiah 11:5; 59:17] 15 and having 'put on your feet as shoes the preparation of the Gospel of peace,' [Isaiah 52:7] 16 above all [or, in addition to all [these things]], having taken up the shield of faith, by which youp will be able to extinguish all the arrows, the ones having been set on fire, [fig., the flaming arrows] of the evil [one], 17 and to receive [or, take] 'the helmet of salvation,' and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, [Isaiah 59:17; Isaiah 11:4 (LXX); Isaiah 49:2; Hos. 6:5] 18 through all prayer and petition praying in every season in [the] Spirit, and with respect to this same [thing] [or, to this same [end]], be staying alert in all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones, 19 and on my behalf, so that to me shall be given a word [or, speech] in [the] opening of my mouth, in boldness [or, confidence], to declare the secret of the Gospel, 20 for the sake of which I serve as an ambassador [or, a representative] [bound] in a chain, so that in it I should speak boldly, as it is necessary [for] me to speak.
