13Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.
14Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
17Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
