Ephesians 6:14-20 So, you people should stand firm in the faith, with the belt of truth firmly buckled around you, and with the “flack jacket” of righteousness on your chest.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ So, you people should stand firm [in the faith], with the belt of truth firmly buckled around you, and with the “flack jacket” of righteousness on your chest. ¹⁵ And put on your shoes, ready to [go and] spread the Gospel of peace. ¹⁶ And along with everything else, take up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish all the fire-tipped arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Holy Spirit, which is God’s word. ¹⁸ [Then] offer all kinds of prayers and requests in [harmony with] the Holy Spirit at all times, and be alert constantly in making requests for all the saints [i.e., God’s holy people]. ¹⁹ And [also pray] for me to be given boldness of speech in opening my mouth to make known the secret plan of the Gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in prison. [And pray] that I may be able to proclaim the Gospel boldly, as I ought to.
