* In conclusion , strengthen yourselves in the Lord and in the power which His supreme might imparts . * Put on the complete armour of God , so as to be able to stand firm against all the stratagems of the Devil . * For ours is not a conflict with mere flesh and blood , but with the despotisms , the empires , the forces that control and govern this dark world –the spiritual hosts of evil arrayed against us in the heavenly warfare . * Therefore put on the complete armour of God , so that you may be able to stand your ground on the day of battle , and , having fought to the end , to remain victors on the field . * Stand therefore , first fastening round you the girdle of truth and putting on the breastplate of uprightness * as well as the shoes of the Good News of peace – a firm foundation for your feet . * And besides all these take the great shield of faith , on which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of the Wicked one ; * and take the helmet of salvation , and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God . * Pray with unceasing prayer and entreaty on every fitting occasion in the Spirit , and be always on the alert to seize opportunities for doing so , with unwearied persistence and entreaty on behalf of all God 's people , * and ask on my behalf that words may be given to me so that , outspoken and fearless , I may make known the truths (hitherto kept secret ) of the Good News – * to spread which I am an ambassador in chains –so that when telling them I may speak out boldly as I ought .
