Ephesians 6Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC) ¹⁰ In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].
¹¹ Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier
which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against
[all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.
¹² For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only
with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers,
against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness,
against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
¹³ Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to
resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having
done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].
¹⁴ Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of
truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and
of moral rectitude and right standing with God,
¹⁵ And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with
the ^[a]firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the
readiness ^[b]produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace.
¹⁶ Lift up over all the [covering] shield of ^[c]saving faith, upon which you can quench all the
flaming missiles of the wicked [one].
¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit ^[d]wields, which is the Word of God.
¹⁸ Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the
Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and
watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all
the saints (God’s consecrated people).
¹⁹ And [pray] also for me, that [freedom of] utterance may be given
me, that I may open my mouth to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news
(the Gospel),
²⁰ For which I am an ambassador in a coupling chain [in prison.
Pray] that I may declare it boldly and courageously, as I ought to do.

Ephesians 6The Message (MSG)
A Fight to the Finish^10-12 And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best
materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything
the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll
walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a
life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.
^13-18 Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on
your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that
when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth,
righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to
apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable
weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard
and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each
other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.
^19-20 And don’t forget to pray for me. Pray that I’ll know what to
say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to
one and all, the Message that I, jailbird preacher that I am, am responsible
for getting out.

Ephesians 6Living Bible (TLB)
¹⁰ Last of all I want to remind you that your strength
must come from the Lord’s mighty power within you. ¹¹ Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to
stand safe against all strategies and tricks of Satan. ¹² For we are not fighting against people made of flesh
and blood, but against persons without bodies—the evil rulers of the unseen
world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule
this world; and against huge numbers of wicked spirits in the spirit world.
¹³ So use every piece of God’s armor to resist the enemy whenever he
attacks, and when it is all over, you will still be standing up.
¹⁴ But to do this, you will need the strong belt of truth and the
breastplate of God’s approval. ¹⁵ Wear
shoes that are able to speed you on as you preach the Good News of peace with
God.
¹⁶ In every battle you will need
faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan.
¹⁷ And you will need the helmet of salvation and the
sword of the Spirit—which is the Word of God.
¹⁸ Pray all the time. Ask God for anything in line with the Holy
Spirit’s wishes. Plead with him, reminding him of your needs, and keep praying
earnestly for all Christians everywhere.
¹⁹ Pray for me, too, and ask God to give me the right words as I boldly tell others
about the Lord and as I explain to them that his salvation is for the Gentiles too.
²⁰ I am in chains now for
preaching this message from God. But pray that I will keep on speaking out
boldly for him even here in prison, as I should
