²⁹ And ^(A)now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. ³⁰ I will no longer talk much with you, for ^(B)the ruler of this world is coming. ^(C)He has no claim on me, ³¹ but I do ^(D)as the Father has commanded me, ^(E)so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.

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

^8 (A)Be sober-minded; ^(B)be watchful. Your ^(C)adversary the devil ^(D)prowls around ^(E)like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
