Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you
may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not

powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against
spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up
the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with
truth...." Ephesians 6:10-14
"Let no one deceive you
with empty words, for because of these things the
wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be
partakers with them.
For you were once darkness, but now you are light
in the Lord. Walk as children of light
(for the fruit of the Spirit is in all
goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the
Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but
rather expose them.
For it is shameful even to speak of those things
which are done by them in secret.
...
