10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye 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 preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. 17 And take 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 seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,
10 Eindelik, my broeders, word kragtig in die Here en in die krag van sy sterkte.
11 Trek die volle wapenrusting van God aan, sodat julle staande kan bly teen die liste van die duiwel.
12 Want ons worstelstryd is nie teen vlees en bloed nie, maar teen die owerhede, teen die magte, teen die wêreldheersers van die duisternis van hierdie eeu, teen die bose geeste in die lug.
13 Daarom, neem die volle wapenrusting van God op, sodat julle weerstand kan bied in die dag van onheil en, nadat julle alles volbring het, staande kan bly.
14 Staan dan vas, julle lendene met die waarheid omgord, met die borswapen van die geregtigheid aan,
15 en as skoene aan julle voete die bereidheid vir die evangelie van vrede.
16 Behalwe dit alles neem die skild van die geloof op waarmee julle al die vurige pyle van die Bose sal kan uitblus.
17 En neem aan die helm van verlossing en die swaard van die Gees -- dit is die woord van God --
18 terwyl julle met alle gebed en smeking by elke geleentheid bid in die Gees, en juis daartoe waak met alle volharding en smeking vir al die heiliges
