and having the feet shod in the preparation
       of the good-news of the peace;

Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth,
and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness,

because of this take ye up the whole armour of God,

that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil,

and all things having done to stand.

because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh,
     but with the principalities, with the authorities,
          with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age,
               with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places;

be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might;

put on the whole armor of God,

for your being able to stand against the wiles of the devil,

that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it]

with the bathing of the water in the saying,

that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory,

not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things,

but that it may be holy and unblemished;

as also the Christ did love the assembly,
     and did give himself for it,

          that he might sanctify it,

               having cleansed [it] with the bathing

                    of the water in the saying,

subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.

giving thanks always for all things,

in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

to the God and Father;

speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
                 singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

and be not drunk with wine,
in which is dissoluteness,
but be filled in the Spirit,

 

See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

redeeming the time, because the days are evil;

because of this become not fools,

but understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,

 wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping,
        and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'

 and all the things reproved by the light are manifested,
for everything that is manifested is light;

and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness
      and rather even convict, for the things in secret done by them

             it is a shame even to speak of,

for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness,

and righteousness, and truth,

proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,

become not, then, partakers with them,

for ye were once darkness,

and now light in the Lord;

as children of light walk ye,

 Let no one deceive you with vain words,
       for because of these things cometh the anger of God
             upon the sons of the disobedience,

and whoredom,

and all uncleanness,

or covetousness,

let it not even be named among you,

as becometh saints;
