Eph.|6:15|-|And having |1|shod your |a|feet with the |2|firm foundation of the |b|gospel of |c|peace;
Eph.|6:16|-|Besides all these, having |1|taken up the |a|shield of |2|faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming |3|darts of the |b|evil one.
Eph.|6:17|-|And receive the |1a|helmet of salvation and the |2b|sword of the Spirit, |3|which Spirit is the |4c|word of God,
Eph.|6:18|-||1|By means of all |2a|prayer and petition, praying at |b|every time in |3c|spirit and |4d|watching unto this in |5|all perseverance and |6|petition concerning all the saints,
Eph.|6:19|-|And |a|for me, that |1|utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known in |b|boldness the |2c|mystery of the gospel,
