Ephesians 6:10-20 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. ¹¹ Put on the complete armour of God, that you may be able to withstand the wiles of the devil. ¹² Because our conflict is not barely with flesh and blood, but against the principalities and the powers; against the rulers of this dark age, against the spiritual [assaults] of the wickedness in the heavenly dispensation; ¹³ take up therefore the complete armour of God, that you may be able to make resistance in the evil day, and having put a stop to them all, to maintain your ground. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, having your loins girded with truth, and having on the breast plate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and your feet shod with the preparation of the glad tidings of peace, ¹⁶ covering all with the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take also the helmet of salvation, and the sword o" the spirit, that is the word of God; ¹⁸ in every prayer and supplication, always praying with the spirit [being for this purpose in a continual state of watchfulness and prayer] for all the saints ¹⁹ particularly for me, that to me a word may be given, that with the opening of my mouth, and with freedom am plainness of speech, I may make known the secret of the glad tidings, ²⁰ for which I am performing the office of an ambassador in a chain, that in this situation I may speak boldly as I ought to speak.
