the whole armor of god

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

¹⁰Concerning the rest, brothers, be strengthened in the Lord, by the power of his virtue. ¹¹Be clothed in the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the treachery of the devil. ¹²For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the directors of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in high places. 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. ¹⁴Therefore, stand firm, having been girded about your waist with truth, and having been clothed with the breastplate of justice, ¹⁵and having feet which have been shod by the preparation of the Gospel of peace.

¹²For the Word of God is living and effective: more piercing than any two-edged sword, reaching to the division even between the soul and the spirit, even between the joints and the marrow, and so it discerns the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

⁷Therefore, be subject to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

⁸But we, who are of the daylight, should be sober, being clothed with the breastplate of faith and of charity and having, as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁹And he was thrown out, that great dragon, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduces the whole world. And he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

¹⁷He clothed himself with justice as with a breastplate, and with a helmet of salvation upon his head. He put on the vestments of vengeance, and he was covered with zeal as with a cloak.

¹⁷And take up the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit (which is the Word of God).

¹²For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the directors of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in high places.

³²And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”

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.

¹⁰Concerning the rest, brothers, be strengthened in the Lord, by the power of his virtue.

¹Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just. ²Honor your father and your mother. This is the first commandment with a promise: ³so that it may be well with you, and so that you may have a long life upon the earth. ⁴And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but educate them with the discipline and correction of the Lord. ⁵Servants, be obedient to your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ. ⁶Do not serve only when seen, as if to please men, but act as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.
