V8. By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and [yet] true;
V9. As unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
V10. As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things.
Eph 6: v10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in YahwehShua, and in the power of his might.

*Satan and fallen angels
V13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of YahwehShua, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
V14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth*,
* {Jhn 1: v14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Jhn 17: v16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. V17. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.}
and having on the breastplate of righteousness*;
*{Isa 48: v18. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! Then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea}
V15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace*;
*{1Pe 3: v11. Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. V12. For the eyes of YahwehShua [are] over the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of YahwehShua [is] against them that do evil.}

*{1Ti 6: v8. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. V9. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. V10. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. V11. But thou, O man of YahwehShua, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, holiness, faith, love, patience, meekness.}
V17. And take the helmet of salvation*, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of Yahweh:

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of YahwehShua of Nazareth, whom ye impaled, whom Father Yahweh raised from the dead, [even] by him doth this man stand here before you whole. V11. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. V12. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men (including the human name of our Creator) , whereby we must be saved. 1Th 5: v8. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. V9. For Father Yahweh hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Master YahwehShua, V10. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. V11. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.}
V18. Praying (and repenting) always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Soldier put your armour on everyday!
HalleluYahwehShua!
