14 Stand therefore, girding your waist with truth, and putting on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and binding shoes under your feet with the preparation of the good news of peace,
16 in everything taking up the shield of faith, with which you are able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one,
17 and receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
18 with all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and to this end being alert with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,
19 and for me, that a word may be given to me at the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
20 for the sake of which I am an ambassador in chains, that in them I may speak freely, as it is necessary for me to speak.
