"...Stand
firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having
put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with
the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up
the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the
flaming missiles of the evil one. And take the helmet of Salvation,
and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God...."
