10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you 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’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace, 16 above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will 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 requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests 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
