14. So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
15. and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.
16. In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all [the] flaming arrows of the evil one.
17. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18. With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit. To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones
19. and also for me, that speech may be given me to open my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel
20. for which I am an ambassador in chains, so that I may have the courage to speak as I must.
21. So that you also may have news of me and of what I am doing, Tychicus, my beloved brother and trustworthy minister in the Lord, will tell you everything.
