10. Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his mighty power.
11. Put on all the armour that God gives you, so that you will be able to stand up against the Devil's evil tricks.
12. For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age.
13. So put on God's armour now! Then when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist the enemy's attacks; and after fighting to the end, you will still hold your ground.
14. So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight round your waist, with righteousness as your breastplate,
15. and as your shoes the readiness to announce the Good News of peace.
