Ephesians 6:10-24.
Ephesians 6:10-24 (Good News Translation)
10Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of
his mighty power.
11Put on all the armor that God gives you, so that you will be
able to stand up against the Devil's evil tricks.
12For we are not fighting against human beings but against the
wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities,
and cosmic powers of this dark age.
13So put on God's armor now! Then when the evil day comes, you
will be able to resist the enemy's attacks; and after fighting to the end,
you will still hold your ground.
14So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight around your waist,
with righteousness as your breastplate,
15and as your shoes the readiness to announce the Good News of
peace.
16At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be
able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One.
17And accept salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the
sword which the Spirit gives you.
18Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every
occasion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give
up; pray always for all God's people.
19And pray also for me, that God will give me a message when I
am ready to speak, so that I may speak boldly and make known the gospel's
secret.
20For the sake of this gospel I am an ambassador, though now I
am in prison. Pray that I may be bold in speaking about the gospel as I
should.
21Tychicus, our dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord's
work, will give you all the news about me, so that you may know how I am
getting along.
22That is why I am sending him to you—to tell you how all of
us are getting along and to encourage you.
23May God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give to all
Christians peace and love with faith.
24May God's grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus
Christ with undying love.
God bless you.
