And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

and take salvation for your helmet, and for your sword the Spirit, which is the voice of God.

Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.

Use every kind of prayer and entreaty, and at every opportunity pray in the Spirit. Be on the alert about it; devote yourselves constantly to prayer for all God’s people
