 14Stand therefore, having girt about your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
 15and shod your feet with the preparation of the glad tidings of peace:
 16besides all these, having taken the shield of faith with which ye will be able to quench all the inflamed darts of the wicked one.
 17Have also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's word;
 18praying at all seasons, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching unto this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;
 19and for me in order that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the glad tidings,
 20for which I am an ambassador bound with a chain, that I may be bold in it as I ought to speak. (Eph. 6:10‑20)
