there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

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.

therefore, having your loins girt about with Truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness;

feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all
the fiery darts of the wicked.

a thief in the night.
