This document discusses spiritual weapons and protection for spiritual warfare. It outlines four spiritual weapons: commitment to Christ's cause through righteousness and purity; zeal and single-minded devotion to God; the Word of God; and spiritual gifts like wisdom, discernment, and tongues. It also describes the armor of God for protection: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God. It emphasizes using these weapons and armor through daily Bible reading, prayer, and resisting the devil. The conclusion exhorts balancing not attributing everything to the devil while still resisting him through submission to God.

fortresses. We destroy
arguments and every
pretension raising itself
against the knowledge

thought captive in
obedience to Christ.
