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.
