13 So then, stand and hold on tight to the truth like you put on a belt. Do what is right. Wear it as a cover for your body.14 You have the good news of peace. Wear that like shoes on your feet.15 You believe in God. Take that and cover all of yourself with it. With that you can stop all the poison arrows of the devil.16 You have been saved. Wear your salvation like you wear something on your head to protect yourself. And take with you the big knife or sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.17 Always talk to God in the Spirit. Talk to him about everything and ask him for what you need. Put your mind on what you are saying, asking God to help all his people.18 And also, ask God to help me to talk without fear and tell people Gods plan about the good news.
