15. Strap up your feet in readiness with the Good News of shalom.
16. Above all, take up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18. Pray in the Ruach on every occasion, with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, keep alert with perseverance and supplication for all the kedoshim.
19. And pray for me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
20. for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may speak boldly, the way I should.
21. Now Tychicus, my dearly loved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will give you all the news about me so you may know how I’m doing.
