Ephesians 6:16

Bible in Basic English 1965

And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.

After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Have no fear, Abram: I will keep you safe, and great will be your reward.

You have given me the breastplate of your salvation, and your mercy has made me great.

Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.

He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the upright man running into it is safe.

But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.

Not that we have authority over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy: for it is faith which is your support.

Do not put out the light of the Spirit;

But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation.
