Following the scripture given by the author it
s significant to complete the train of thought....whenever the word “therefore” is mentioned in scripture people need to continue, other wise what’s the “therefore” there for?
... 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 [a]firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness [b]produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace.
Lift up over all the [covering] shield of [c]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 [d]wields, which is the Word of God.
The sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.....
Because it is the TRUTH, and Satan cannot stand or fight against the Truth.
