Ephesians 6:11-20
New King James Version
11 (A)Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [a]wiles of the devil. 12 For 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.
14 Stand 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; 16 above all, taking (I)the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And (J)take the helmet of salvation, and (K)the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 (L)praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, (M)being watchful to this end with all perseverance and (N)supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, (O)that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which (P)I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

New International Version
11 Put on the full armor of God,(A) so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,(B) but against the rulers, against the authorities,(C) against the powers(D) of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.(E) 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God,(F) so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,(G) with the breastplate of righteousness in place,(H) 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.(I) 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,(J) with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.(K) 17 Take the helmet of salvation(L) and the sword of the Spirit,(M) which is the word of God.(N)
18 And pray in the Spirit(O) on all occasions(P) with all kinds of prayers and requests.(Q) With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying(R) for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me,(S) that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly(T) make known the mystery(U) of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador(V) in chains.(W) Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

2 Chronicles 32:2-8
New King James Version
2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem, 3 he consulted with his leaders and [a]commanders to stop the water from the springs which were outside the city; and they helped him. 4 Thus many people gathered together who stopped all the (A)springs and the brook that ran through the land, saying, “Why should the [b]kings of Assyria come and find much water?” 5 And (B)he strengthened himself, (C)built up all the wall that was broken, raised it up to the towers, and built another wall outside; also he repaired [c]the (D)Millo in the City of David, and made [d]weapons and shields in abundance. 6 Then he set military captains over the people, gathered them together to him in the open square of the city gate, and (E)gave them encouragement, saying, 7 (F)“Be strong and courageous; (G)do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for (H)there are more with us than with him. 8 With him is an (I)arm of flesh; but (J)with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

New International Version
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to wage war against Jerusalem,(A) 3 he consulted with his officials and military staff about blocking off the water from the springs outside the city, and they helped him. 4 They gathered a large group of people who blocked all the springs(B) and the stream that flowed through the land. “Why should the kings[a] of Assyria come and find plenty of water?” they said. 5 Then he worked hard repairing all the broken sections of the wall(C) and building towers on it. He built another wall outside that one and reinforced the terraces[b](D) of the City of David. He also made large numbers of weapons(E) and shields.
6 He appointed military officers over the people and assembled them before him in the square at the city gate and encouraged them with these words: 7 “Be strong and courageous.(F) Do not be afraid or discouraged(G) because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him.(H) 8 With him is only the arm of flesh,(I) but with us(J) is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.”(K) And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said.

Genesis 32:13-20
New King James Version
13 So he lodged there that same night, and took what [a]came to his hand as (A)a present for Esau his brother: 14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, 15 thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals. 16 Then he delivered them to the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put some distance between successive droves.” 17 And he commanded the first one, saying, “When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going? Whose are these in front of you?’ 18 then you shall say, ‘They are your servant Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord Esau; and behold, he also is behind us.’ ” 19 So he commanded the second, the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, “In this manner you shall speak to Esau when you find him; 20 and also say, ‘Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us.’ ” For he said, “I will (B)appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.”

New International Version
13 He spent the night there, and from what he had with him he selected a gift(A) for his brother Esau: 14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,(B) 15 thirty female camels with their young, forty cows and ten bulls, and twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.(C) 16 He put them in the care of his servants, each herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Go ahead of me, and keep some space between the herds.”(D)
17 He instructed the one in the lead: “When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘Who do you belong to, and where are you going, and who owns all these animals in front of you?’ 18 then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant(E) Jacob. They are a gift(F) sent to my lord Esau, and he is coming behind us.’”
19 He also instructed the second, the third and all the others who followed the herds: “You are to say the same thing to Esau when you meet him. 20 And be sure to say, ‘Your servant(G) Jacob is coming behind us.’” For he thought, “I will pacify him with these gifts(H) I am sending on ahead;(I) later, when I see him, perhaps he will receive me.”(J)
