last advice

Paul's last piece of advice to the followers of Jesus in Ephesus...



Ephesians 6
10 A final word: 
Be strong in the Lord 
and in his mighty power. 
11 Put on all of God’s armor 
so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 
12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, 
but against evil rulers 
and authorities of the unseen world, 
against mighty powers in this dark world, 
and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor 
so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. 
Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 
14 Stand your ground, 
putting on the belt of truth 
and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 
15 For shoes, 
put on the peace that comes from the Good News 
so that you will be fully prepared. 
16 In addition to all of these, 
hold up the shield of faith 
to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 
17 Put on salvation as your helmet, 
and take the sword of the Spirit, 
which is the word of God.

18 Pray in the Spirit at all times 
and on every occasion. 
Stay alert 
and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
