¹² the night is advanced, the day is at hand. Let us then throw off the works of darkness [and] put on the armor of light;^(A)

⁷ in truthful speech, in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness at the right and at the left;^(A)

¹¹ Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.^{(A) 12} For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.^{(B) 13} Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.^{(C) 14} So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,^{(D) 15} and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.^{(E) 16} In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all [the] flaming arrows of the evil one.^{(F) 17} And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.^(G)
