## Ephesians 6:12-18 in Context (Verses 9–21 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/9) And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high *places*.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/13) Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
 
 [15 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
 
 [16 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
 
 [18 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
 
 [19 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/19) And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
 
 [20 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/20) For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/ephesians/6/21) But that ye also may know my affairs, *and* how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
 
[Ephesians 5](/kjv/ephesians/5) [Philippians 1](/kjv/philippians/1)
