10 No demais, irmãos meus, fortalecei-vos no Senhor e na força do seu poder.

11 Revesti-vos de toda a armadura de Deus, para que possais estar firmes contra as astutas ciladas do diabo.

12 Porque não temos que lutar contra a carne e o sangue, mas, sim, contra os principados, contra as potestades, contra os príncipes das trevas deste século, contra as hostes espirituais da maldade, nos lugares celestiais.

13 Portanto, tomai toda a armadura de Deus, para que possais resistir no dia mau e, havendo feito tudo, ficar firmes.

14 Estai, pois, firmes, tendo cingidos os vossos lombos com a verdade, e vestida a couraça da justiça;

15 E calçados os pés na preparação do evangelho da paz;

16 Tomando sobretudo o escudo da fé, com o qual podereis apagar todos os dardos inflamados do maligno.

17 Tomai também o capacete da salvação, e a espada do Espírito, que é a palavra de Deus;

18 Orando em todo o tempo com toda a oração e súplica no Espírito, e vigiando nisto com toda a perseverança e súplica por todos os santos,

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.
