RSV:
For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. | |
13 | Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. |
14 | Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, |
15 | and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; |
16 | besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. |
