Ephesians 6:11-19

English Standard Version

^11 (A)Put on ^(B)the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against ^(C)the schemes of the devil. ¹² For ^(D)we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against ^(E)the rulers, against the authorities, against ^(F)the cosmic powers over ^(G)this present darkness, against ^(H)the spiritual forces of evil ^(I)in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore ^(J)take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in ^(K)the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, ^(L)having fastened on the belt of truth, and ^(M)having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and, ^(N)as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In all circumstances take up ^(O)the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all ^(P)the flaming darts of ^(Q)the evil one; ¹⁷ and take ^(R)the helmet of salvation, and ^(S)the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ praying ^(T)at all times ^(U)in the Spirit, ^(V)with all prayer and supplication. To that end, ^(W)keep alert with all perseverance, making ^(X)supplication for all the saints, ¹⁹ and ^(Y)also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth ^(Z)boldly to proclaim ^(AA)the mystery of the gospel,
