10 To conclude: Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the complete armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the cunning arts of the Devil.
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the arch-angels, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly heights.
13 Therefore take the complete armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and, after going through everything, to stand.
14 Stand, then, belted with truth, wearing the breastplate of righteousness,
15 shod with the readiness of the good news of peace.
16 In every event take up the shield of faith by which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the Evil One,
17 and accept the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
