egies and the deceits of the devil. For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only
with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against
[the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the
spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to
resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger],
and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt
of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right
standing with God, And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy
with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the
good news] of the Gospel of peace. Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon
which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one]. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit
wields, which is the Word of God. Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the
Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch
with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf
of all the saints (God’s consecrated people). And [pray] also for me, that [freedom of] utterance may be
given me, that I may open my mouth to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news
(the Gospel), For which I am an ambassador in a coupling chain [in prison.
Pray] that I may declare it boldly and courageously, as I
ought to do.
