Put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes you may be able to take your stand against the devils schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities and against the powers of this dark world, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes you may be able to stand your ground and after you have done everything to stand Stand firm then with the belt of truth buckled around your waist with the breast plate of righteousness in place and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace in addition to all this, Take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God and pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Pray also for me that whenever I speak words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. For which I am an ambassador in chains, pray that I may declare it fearlessly as I should.
