10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in his mighty strength.
11 Put on the full armor every implement of God, that you may be able to stand against the cunning inventiveclever methods of the devil.
12 Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places.
13 For that reason, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, having done everything, to stand firm.
14 Stand firm therefore and gird your loins with truth. Put on the breastplate of righteousness.
15 Shod your feet with the preparation of the good news of peace.
16 Also take up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
