The Whole Armor of God

¹⁰ Finally, ^(A)be strong in the Lord and in ^(B)the strength of his might. ^11 (C)Put on ^(D)the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against ^(E)the schemes of the devil. ¹² For ^(F)we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against ^(G)the rulers, against the authorities, against ^(H)the cosmic powers over ^(I)this present darkness, against ^(J)the spiritual forces of evil ^(K)in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore ^(L)take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in ^(M)the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, ^(N)having fastened on the belt of truth, and ^(O)having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and, ^(P)as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In all circumstances take up ^(Q)the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all ^(R)the flaming darts of ^(S)the evil one; ¹⁷ and take ^(T)the helmet of salvation, and ^(U)the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ praying ^(V)at all times ^(W)in the Spirit, ^(X)with all prayer and supplication. To that end, ^(Y)keep alert with all perseverance, making ^(Z)supplication for all the saints,

^58 (A)Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in ^(B)the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord ^(C)your labor is not in vain.

^11 (A)And when they ^(B)bring you before the synagogues and ^(C)the rulers and ^(D)the authorities, ^(E)do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say,

¹⁰ so that through the church the manifold ^(A)wisdom of God ^(B)might now be made known to ^(C)the rulers and authorities ^(D)in the heavenly places.

^13 (A)The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me ^(B)twenty-one days, but ^(C)Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia,

¹⁹ and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, ^(A)according to the working of ^(B)his great might ²⁰ that he worked in Christ ^(C)when he raised him from the dead and ^(D)seated him at his right hand ^(E)in the heavenly places, ^21 (F)far above ^(G)all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above ^(H)every name that is named, not only in ^(I)this age but also in the one to come. ²² And ^(J)he put all things under his feet and gave him as ^(K)head over all things to the church,

^16 (A)making the best use of the time, because ^(B)the days are evil.
