15. And on your feet wear the Good News of peace to help you stand strong.
16. And also use the shield of faith. With that you can stop all the burning arrows of the Evil One.
17. Accept God’s salvation to be 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 God’s people.
19. Also pray for me. Pray that when I speak, God will give me words so that I can tell the secret truth of the Good News without fear.
