Matthew 4:1–11
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward He was hungry. 3 And the tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But He answered him, “It is written: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every spoken word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” 5 Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down, for it is written: He will command His angels concerning You, and they will carry You on their hands, lest You strike Your foot against a stone.” 7 Jesus said to him, “It is also written: You shall not tempt the Lord your God.” 8 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9 and said to Him, “I will give You all these things if, falling down, You will worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away from Me, Satan, for it is written: You shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him alone.” 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

10 Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the might of His power. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil, 12 because our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on the evil day and, having overcome everything, stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having girded yourselves with truth and put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the readiness of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, take up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and supplication, and to this end keeping alert with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,
