Ephesians 6:10-20

To end my letter I tell you, be strong in the Lord and in his great power. 11. Wear the full armor of God. Wear God’s armor so that you can fight against the devil’s clever tricks. 12. Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places. 13. That is why you need to get God’s full armor. Then on the day of evil, you will be able to stand strong. And when you have finished the whole fight, you will still be standing. 14. So stand strong with the belt of truth tied around your waist, and on your chest wear the protection of right living. 15. On your feet wear the Good News of peace to help you stand strong. 16. And also use the shield of faith with which you can stop all the burning arrows that come from the Evil One. 17. Accept God’s salvation as your helmet. And take the sword of the Spirit—that sword is the teaching of God. 18. Pray in the Spirit at all times. Pray with all kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need. To do this you must always be ready. Never give up. Always pray for all of God’s people. 19. Also pray for me—that when I speak, God will give me words so that I can tell the secret truth about the Good News without fear. 20. I have the work of speaking for that Good News, and that is what I am doing now, here in prison. Pray that when I tell people the Good News, I will speak without fear as I should.

John 10:10

A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came to give life—life that is full and good.

1 Thessalonians 5:8

But we belong to the day, so we should control ourselves. We should wear faith and love to protect us. And the hope of salvation should be our helmet.

Hebrews 6:19-20

This hope is like an anchor for us. It is strong and sure and keeps us safe. It goes behind the curtain. 20. Jesus has already entered there and opened the way for us. He has become the high priest forever, just like Melchizedek.

1 Peter 3:15

But keep the Lord Christ holy in your hearts. Always be ready to answer everyone who asks you to explain about the hope you have.
