13
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
17
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--
19
and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21
But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you;
22
whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts.
23
Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
