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, 20 for which I (AB)am an ambassador (AC)in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Final Greetings

21 (AD)So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, (AE)Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything.
