And also use the shield of faith with which you can stop all the burning arrows of the Evil One.
After these things happened, the Lord spoke his word to Abram in a vision: “Abram, don’t be afraid. I will defend you, and I will give you a great reward.”
You protect me with your saving shield. You have stooped to make me great.
He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a warrior and with burning coals of wood.
He has prepared his deadly weapons; he has made his flaming arrows.
The Lord is like a strong tower; those who do right can run to him for safety.
Say only yes if you mean yes, and no if you mean no. If you say more than yes or no, it is from the Evil One.
We are not trying to control your faith. You are strong in faith. But we are workers with you for your own joy.
Do not hold back the work of the Holy Spirit.
But we belong to the day, so we should control ourselves. We should wear faith and love to protect us, and the hope of salvation should be our helmet.
