CLV(i)
9 And, masters, be doing the same toward them, being lax in threatening, being aware that their Master as well as yours is in the heavens, and there is no partiality with Him. "
10 For the rest, brethren mine, be invigorated in the Lord and in the might of His strength."
11 Put on the panoply of God, to enable you to stand up to the stratagems of the Adversary,
12 for it is not ours to wrestle with blood and flesh, but with the sovereignties, with the authorities, with the world-mights of this darkness, with the spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials."
13 Therefore take up the panoply of God that you may be enabled to withstand in the wicked day, and having effected all, to stand."
14 Stand, then, girded about your loins with truth, with the cuirass of righteousness put on."
15 and your feet sandaled with the readiness of the evangel of peace;
16 with all taking up the large shield of faith, by which you will be able to extinguish all the fiery arrows of the wicked one."
17 And receive the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is a declaration of God."
18 During every prayer and petition be praying on every occasion (in spirit being vigilant also for it with all perseverance and petition concerning all the saints,
19 and for me), that to me expression may be granted, in the opening of my mouth with boldness, to make known the secret of the evangel,
20 for which I am conducting an embassy in a chain, that in it I should be speaking boldly, as I must speak."
