^13 (A)Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand ^(B)in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

¹⁴ Stand therefore, ^(C)having girded your waist with truth, ^(D)having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ^15 (E)and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ above all, taking ^(F)the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And ^(G)take the helmet of salvation, and ^(H)the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; ^18 (I)praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, ^(J)being watchful to this end with all perseverance and ^(K)supplication for all the saints— ¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given to me, ^(L)that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which ^(M)I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

⁶ Jesus said to him, “I am ^(A)the way, ^(B)the truth, and ^(C)the life. ^(D)No one comes to the Father ^(E)except through Me.

Israel Rejects the Gospel

¹⁴ How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear ^(A)without a preacher? ¹⁵ And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Living Sacrifices to God

12 I ^(A)beseech^[a] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies ^(B)a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your ^[b]reasonable service. ² And ^(C)do not be conformed to this world, but ^(D)be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may ^(E)prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
