¹³Because of this, take up the armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand the evil day and remain perfect in all things.

⁹Behold, I am instructing you. Be strengthened, and be steadfast. Do not dread, and do not fear. For the Lord your God is with you in all things, wherever you may go.”

¹³Be vigilant. Stand with faith. Act manfully and be strengthened.

⁵⁸And so, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and unmovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not useless in the Lord.

¹And so, my most beloved and most desired brothers, my joy and my crown: stand firm in this way, in the Lord, most beloved.

¹¹Be clothed in the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the treachery of the devil.

¹Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude.

²⁷Only let your behavior be worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that, whether I return and see you, or whether, being absent, I hear about you, still you may stand firm with one spirit, with one mind, laboring together for the faith of the Gospel.

¹⁵So may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who has loved us and who has given us an everlasting consolation and good hope in grace,

⁹Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world.

¹⁴Therefore, stand firm, having been girded about your waist with truth, and having been clothed with the breastplate of justice,

¹⁹By your patience, you shall possess your souls.
