16. in everything taking up the shield of faith, with which you are able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one,
17. and receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
18. with all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and to this end being alert with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,
19. and for me, that a word may be given to me at the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
20. for the sake of which I am an ambassador in chains, that in them I may speak freely, as it is necessary for me to speak.
21. Now, so that you also may know my circumstances, what I am doing, Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things,
22. whom I have sent to you for this very reason, that you may know our circumstances, and he may encourage your hearts.
23. Peace to the brothers and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24. Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility.
