The Living Word

Ephesians  6:11-15

New International Version

11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
 
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
 
13 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.
 
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
 
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
