Preparation
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the
breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation
of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you
will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the
helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful
to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
Ephesians 6:14-18
