13. For this reason take to you the panoply of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having accomplished all things, to stand.
14. Stand therefore, having girt about your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15. and shod your feet with the preparation of the glad tidings of peace:
16. besides all these, having taken the shield of faith with which ye will be able to quench all the inflamed darts of the wicked one.
17. Have also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's word;
18. praying at all seasons, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching unto this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;
19. and for me in order that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the glad tidings,
20. for which I am an ambassador bound with a chain, that I may be bold in it as I ought to speak.
21. But in order that ye also may know what concerns me, how I am getting on, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make all things known to you;
22. whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that ye may know of our affairs and that he may encourage your hearts.
23. Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
