Ephesians 6:10-17

10\\xa0Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11\\xa0Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil\\u2019s schemes. 12\\xa0For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13\\xa0Therefore put on the full armor of God, 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\\xa0Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15\\xa0and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16\\xa0In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17\\xa0Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.\\xa0
