“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one — the shield: thyreos pisteōs ('shield of faith'), with which dynamai sbennyō panta ta belē ('you can extinguish all the missiles,' literally 'darts') tou ponērou ('of the evil one,' the fiery arrows of temptation and doubt).
