14. Therefore, stand firm, having been girded about your waist with truth, and having been clothed with the breastplate of justice,
15. and having feet which have been shod by the preparation of the Gospel of peace.
16. In all things, take up the shield of faith, with which you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one.
17. And take up the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit (which is the Word of God).
18. Through every kind of prayer and supplication, pray at all times in spirit, and so be vigilant with every kind of earnest supplication, for all the saints,
19. and also for me, so that words may be given to me, as I open my mouth with faith to make known the mystery of the Gospel,
20. in such a manner that I may dare to speak exactly as I ought to speak. For I act as an ambassador in chains for the Gospel.
21. Now, so that you also may know the things that concern me and what I am doing, Tychicus, a most beloved brother and a faithful minister in the Lord, will make known everything to you.
22. I have sent him to you for this very reason, so that you may know the things that concern us, and so that he may console your hearts.
23. Peace to the brothers, and charity with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24. May grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ, unto incorruption. Amen.
