But when one stronger than he attacks and overpowers him, he takes from him all his weapons he trusted in, and divides up his plunder.

The night is nearly over, and the daylight is near, so let us discard the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil.

This is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand.

Stand, therefore,

with truth like a belt around your waist,
righteousness like armor on your chest,

But since we belong to the day, we must be serious and put the armor of faith and love on our chests, and put on a helmet of the hope of salvation.
