Isaiah 61:1-6

New King James Version

The Good News of Salvation

61 “The ^(A)Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord ^(B)has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me ^(C)to ^[a]heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim ^(D)liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
²^(E)To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And ^(F)the day of vengeance of our God;
^(G)To comfort all who mourn,
³To ^[b]console those who mourn in Zion,
^(H)To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
^(I)The planting of the Lord, ^(J)that He may be glorified.”

⁴And they shall ^(K)rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
⁵^(L)Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
And the sons of the foreigner
Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
⁶^(M)But you shall be named the priests of the Lord,
They shall call you the servants of our God.
^(N)You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
And in their glory you shall boast.

The Whole Armor of God

¹⁰Finally, 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. ¹²For 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.

¹⁴Stand 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; ¹⁶above all, taking ^(I)the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
