15 And with the readiness to serve the Good News of Peace as shoes for your feet.
16 At every onslaught take up faith for your shield; for with it you will be able to extinguish all the flaming darts of the Evil One.
17 And receive 'the helmet of Salvation,' and 'the sword of the Spirit'--which is the Message of God--always with prayer and supplication.
18 Pray in spirit at all times. Be intent upon this, with unwearying perseverance and supplication for all Christ's People- -
19 And on my behalf also, that, when I begin to speak, words may be given me, so that I may fearlessly make known the inmost truth of the Good News,
20 On behalf of which I am an Ambassador--in chains! Pray that, in telling it, I may speak fearlessly as I ought.
