above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
But let your word be 'Yes', 'yes,' ; or 'No,' 'no.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
Not that we lord it over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for by faith you stand.
Do not quench the Spirit.
But we, since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.
