Ephesians 6:10-17
KJV—Finally, my brethren, be strong in the
Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on
the whole armour of God, that ye may be
able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole
armour of God, that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done
all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with truth, and having on
the breastplate of righteousness; And your
feet shod with the preparation of the gospel
of peace; Above all, taking the shield of
faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take
the helmet of salvation, and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Amp—In conclusion, be strong in the Lord—
be empowered through your union with
Him; draw your strength from Him—that
strength which His [boundless] might provides.
Put on God’s whole armor—the armor
of a heavy-armed soldier, which God
supplies—that you may be able successfully
to stand up against [all] the strategies
and the deceits of the devil. For we are not
wrestling with flesh and blood—contending
only with physical opponents—but against
the despotisms, against the powers, against
[the master spirits who are] the world rulers
of this present darkness, against the
spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly
(supernatural) sphere.

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 firm-footed
stability, the promptness and the readiness
produced by the good news] of the Gospel
of peace. Lift up over all the (covering) shield
of saving faith, upon which you can quench
all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].
And take the helmet of salvation and the
sword the Spirit wields, which is the Word
of God.

NEB—Finally then, find your strength in the
Lord, in his mighty power. Put on all the armour
which God provides, so that you may
be able to stand firm against the devices
of the devil. For our fight is not against human
foes, but against cosmic powers, against
the authorities and potentates of this dark
world, against the superhuman forces of evil
in the heavens.

Therefore, take up God’s armour; then
you will be able to stand your ground when
things are at their worst, to complete every
task and still to stand. Stand firm, I say.
Fasten on the belt of truth; for coat of mail
put on integrity; let the shoes on your feet
be the gospel of peace, to give you firm
footing; and, with all these, take up the great
shield of faith, with which you will be able
to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil
one. Take salvation for helmet; for sword,
take that which the Spirit gives you—the
words that come from God.
