Ephesians 6:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the assaults of the devil.
12 [a]For we wrestle not against flesh and [b]blood, but against (A)[c]principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness, which are in the high places.
13 [d]For this cause take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to resist in the [e]evil day, and having finished all things, stand fast.

Ephesians 6:11-13
New International Version
11 Put on the full armor of God,(A) so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,(B) but against the rulers, against the authorities,(C) against the powers(D) of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.(E) 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God,(F) so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
