Exhortations for Spiritual Warfare
Ephesians
6:10 Finally, be strengthened in the Lord and in the strength of his power. 6:11 Clothe yourselves with the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand
against the schemes 21 of the devil. 6:12 For our struggle 22 is not
against flesh and blood, 23 but against the rulers, against the powers,
against the world rulers of this darkness, 24 against the spiritual
forces 25 of evil in the heavens. 26 6:13 For this reason, take up the
full armor of God so that you may be able to stand your ground 27 on
the evil day, and having done everything, to stand. 6:14 Stand firm
therefore, by fastening 28 the belt of truth around your waist, 29 by
putting on the breastplate of righteousness, 6:15 by fitting your 30
feet with the preparation that comes from the good news 31 of peace, 32
6:16 and in all of this, 33 by taking up the shield 34 of faith with
which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 6:17
And take the helmet of salvation 35 and the sword 36 of the Spirit,
which is the word of God. 6:18 With every prayer and petition, pray 37
at all times in the Spirit, and to this end 38 be alert, with all
perseverance and requests for all the saints. 6:19 Pray 39 for me also,
that I may be given the message when I begin to speak 40 – that I may
confidently make known 41 the mystery of the gospel, 6:20 for which I
am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may be able to speak boldly as I
ought to speak.
Praise and Glory to God in Heaven!
