Above all, take up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No’; for whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
Not that we rule over your faith; rather, we work with you for your joy, because by faith you stand firm.
Do not quench the Spirit.
But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
