"Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. (11)
Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil. (12) For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places. (13) Wherefore 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. (14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt
about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
(15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
(16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be
able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (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, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints;" ~Eph 6:10-18
