Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. |출처=[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+6%3A10-20&OLWordSearchRange=beg&version=NIV Ephesians 6:10-20]}}
