22 “But whansaʼer a sterker ane than his sel comes on him, and ower‐comes him, he taks awa his graithin on whilk he lippened, and divides his booty.
“Whansaeʼer a sterk ane, ready for war, has ward ower his ain dwallin, his gear is safe.
“He wha isna wiʼ me is again me; and he wha gaithers‐na wiʼ me skails a‐breid.
Pit ye on the hail graith oʼ God, sae as ye may be fit to staun again the wiles oʼ Sautan.
Whaur‐for tak to ye the hail graith oʼ God, that ye be strang to withstaun iʼ the ill day; and, haein dune aʼ things, to staun.
And haein strippit principalities and pooers, he made a plain spectacle oʼ them, and a triumph ower them thar‐by.
He that dis sin is oʼ Sautan; for Sautan sins frae the first. And for this end was the Son oʼ God made kent, that he micht whammle ower the warks oʼ Sautan.
Ye are oʼ God, dear bairns, and hae owercome them; for greater is he that is in you than he that is in the warld.
