and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in
high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole
armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate
of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield
of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked.

salvation, and The Sword Of The Spirit, which is The Word Of
God:

all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with
many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee
these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith,
love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called, and hast
professed a good profession before many witnesses.

therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
