2 Corinthians 4:7-10 & Ephesians 6:11-18

[2 Kor 4:7] Dan it-teżor qiegħed għandna f'ġarar tal-fuħħar, ħalli b'hekk jidher sewwa li l-kobor ta' din il-qawwa ġej minn Alla, u mhux minna.[2 Kor 4:8] Aħna minn kullimkien ninsabu magħfusin, iżda m'aħniex mgħattnin; mħassbin, iżda ma għandniex qalbna maqtugħa;[2 Kor 4:9] ippersegwitati, iżda m'aħniex abbandunati; mixħutin ma' l-art, iżda m'aħniex meqrudin.[2 Kor 4:10] F'ġisimna dejjem inġorru l-mewt ta' Ġesù, biex f'ġisimna tidher ukoll il-ħajja ta' Ġesù.

2 Cor 4:7-10 --- 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

[Efes 6:11] Ilbsu l-armatura ta' Alla biex tkunu tifilħu tieqfu għat-tnassis tax-Xitan.[Efes 6:12] Għax il-ġlieda tagħna m'hijiex kontra d-demm u l-laħam, imma kontra s-Setgħat, kontra l-Qawwiet, kontra l-Prinċpijiet ta' din id-dinja ta' dlamijiet, kontra l-ispirti ħżiena li jgħammru fil-wisa' tas-smewwiet.[Efes 6:13] Għalhekk ħudu fuqkom l-armatura ta' Alla, ħalli tkunu tistgħu tieqfu fi żmien il-ħażen, u, wara li tkunu għamiltu ħilitkom kollha, żżommu weqfin.[Efes 6:14] Żommu sħiħ, mela, ħażżmu ġenbejkom bil-verità, ilbsu l-kurazza tal-ġustizzja,[Efes 6:15] u xiddu riġlejkom bil-ħeġġa ta' l-Evanġelju tas-sliem;[Efes 6:16] ħudu f'idejkom it-tarka tal-fidi; li biha tistgħu titfu l-vleġeġ kollha tan-nar tal-Ħażin;[Efes 6:17] ilbsu l-elmu tas-salvazzjoni u aqbdu x-xabla ta' l-Ispirtu li hi l-kelma ta' Alla.[Efes 6:18] Itolbu dejjem fl-Ispirtu, b'kull xorta ta' talb u f'kull ħtieġa, ishru fih bla ma tieqfu, u itolbu għall-ħtiġiet tal-qaddisin kollha

Ephesians 6:11-18 --- 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
