Ephesians 6:10-13 NWT
. . .Finally, go on acquiring power in [the] Lord and in the mightiness of his strength. 11 Put on the complete suit of armor from God that YOU may be able to stand firm against the machinations of the Devil; 12 because we have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places. 13 On this account take up the complete suit of armor from God, that YOU may be able to resist in the wicked day and, after YOU have done all things thoroughly, to stand firm.

Ephesians 6:10-13 CEV
(10) Finally, let the mighty strength of the Lord make you strong. (11) Put on all the armor that God gives, so you can defend yourself against the devil's tricks. (12) We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world. (13) So put on all the armor that God gives. Then when that evil day comes, you will be able to defend yourself. And when the battle is over, you will still be standing firm.

Ephesians 6:10-13 ALT
(10) Finally my brothers [and sisters], continue becoming strong in [the] Lord and in the might of His strength. (11) Put on the full armor of God in order [for] you* to be able to stand firm against the tricks [or, cunning schemes] of the Devil. (12) Because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, _but_ against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual [forces] of the wickedness in the heavenlies [or, heavenly [realms]]. (13) For this reason, take up the full armor of God, so that you* shall be able to resist in the day of evil, and having accomplished [or, overcome] everything, to stand firm.

(10) For the rest, my brothers, be made powerful in the Lord and in the might of His strength. (11) Put on all the armor of God, for you to be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil, (12) because wrestling against flesh and blood is not to us, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenlies. (13) Because of this, take up all of the armor of God that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having worked out all things, to stand.

Ephesians 6:10-13 BBE
(10) Lastly, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his power. (11) Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One. (12) For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens. (13) For this reason take up all the arms of God, so that you may be able to be strong in the evil day, and, having done all, to keep your place.
