Having Done Everything, Stand Firm

Ephesians 6:10-17

Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able 

to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but 

against the rulers, against the powers, 

against the world forces of this darkness, 

against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Therefore, take up the full armor of God, 

so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, 

and having done everything, to stand firm.

Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, 

and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 

and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;  

in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith 

with which you will be able to extinguish all the 

flaming arrows of the evil one.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, 

which is the word of God.
