披戴基督 以弗所書6章10至18節 Put on Christ Ephesians 6:10-18
10我還有末了的話,你們要靠著主,倚賴他的大能大力,作剛強的人。 11要穿戴神所賜的全副軍裝,就能抵擋魔鬼的詭計。 12因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰,乃是與那些執政的,掌權的,管轄這幽暗世界的,以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰。〔兩爭戰原文都作摔跤〕 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

16此外又拿著信德當作籐牌,可以滅盡那惡者一切的火箭,17並戴上救恩的頭盔,拿著聖靈的寶劍,就是神的道, 18靠著聖靈,隨時多方禱告祈求,並要在此儆醒不倦,為眾聖徒祈求。 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
屬靈爭戰 12因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰,乃是與那些執政的,掌權的,管轄這幽暗世界的,以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰。〔兩爭戰原文都作摔跤〕 Spiritual Warfare 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
