Ephesians 6:10-24

New American Standard Bible

The Armor of God

¹⁰Finally, ^(A)be strong in the Lord and in ^(B)the strength of His might. ¹¹^(C)Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the ^(D)schemes of the devil. ¹²For our ^(E)struggle is not against ^[a]^(F)flesh and blood, but ^(G)against the rulers, against the powers, against the ^(H)world forces of this ^(I)darkness, against the ^(J)spiritual forces of wickedness in ^(K)the heavenly places. ¹³Therefore, take up ^(L)the full armor of God, so that you will be able to ^(M)resist on ^(N)the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. ¹⁴Stand firm therefore, ^(O)having belted your waist with truth, and having ^(P)put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵and having ^(Q)strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶^[b]in addition to all, taking up the ^(R)shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the ^(S)flaming arrows of ^(T)the evil one. ¹⁷And take ^(U)the helmet of salvation and the ^(V)sword of the Spirit, which is ^(W)the word of God.

¹⁸^[c]With every ^(X)prayer and request, ^[d]^(Y)pray at all times ^(Z)in the Spirit, and with this in view, ^[e]^(AA)be alert with all ^(AB)perseverance and every ^(AC)request for all the ^[f]saints, ¹⁹and ^(AD)pray in my behalf, that speech may be given to me ^(AE)in the opening of my mouth, to make known with ^(AF)boldness ^(AG)the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰for which I am an ^(AH)ambassador ^(AI)in ^[g]chains; that ^[h]in proclaiming it I may speak ^(AJ)boldly, ^(AK)as I ought to speak.

²¹^(AL)Now, so that you also may know about my circumstances as to ^[i]what I am doing, ^(AM)Tychicus, ^(AN)the beloved brother and faithful ^[j]servant in the Lord, will make everything known to you. ²²^[k]^(AO)I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know ^[l]about us, and that he may ^(AP)comfort your hearts.

²³^(AQ)Peace be to the brothers and sisters, and ^(AR)love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ ^[m]with incorruptible love.
