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.
