The Whole Armor of God

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 (A)Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [a]wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against (B)principalities, against powers, against (C)the rulers of [b]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 (D)Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand (E)in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, (F)having girded your waist with truth, (G)having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 (H)and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking (I)the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And (J)take the helmet of salvation, and (K)the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has (A)chosen as His own inheritance.

13 (B)The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He fashions their hearts individually;
(C)He [a]considers all their works.

16 (D)No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 (E)A horse is a [b]vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

On those who hope in His mercy,

Shout, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!

He has cast out your enemy.
(B)The King of Israel, the Lord, (C)is in your midst;
You shall [a]see disaster no more.

16 In that day (D)it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear;
Zion, (E)let not your hands be weak.

The Mighty One, will save;

He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
