Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm
against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against
flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities
of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world,
and against evil spirits in heavenly places.
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so
you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of
evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the
body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the
peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be
fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the
shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.
Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God.
– Ephesians 6:11-17 NLT
