14 So stand up, wrap the belt of truth around your waist, tie on the breastplate of justice and the right, 15 and put on the shoes of readiness to share the good news of peace.
16 Above all, take up the shield of trusting God, by which you’ll be able to put out all the devil’s flaming arrows. 17 Wear the helmet of salvation, and carry the sword of the Spirit—the Spirit that’s the word of God.
