 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand  against the schemes of the devil.  12 For we do not wrestle against  flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,  against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.  13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may  be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand  firm.  14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth,  and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,  15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.  16 In all circumstances take up the shield of  faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the <span class="text Eph-6-16" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> evil one; <span class="text Eph-6-17" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of <span class="text Eph-6-17" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">the Spirit, which is the word of God, <span class="text Eph-6-18" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> 18 praying at all times in <span class="text Eph-6-18" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep <span class="text Eph-6-18" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints || <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> 10-12 And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> 13-18 Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> //indispensable// weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out. ||
