<P> The phrase "Armor of God" is derived from Ephesians 6: 11: "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil ." (King James Version). As a biblical reference, the metaphor may refer to physical armour worn by God in metaphorical battles, or it may refer to vigilant righteousness in general as bestowed by the grace of God (Romans 13: 12, King James Version): "The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light ." </P> <P> The full Armour of God quote outlines these aspects of belief: truth, righteousness, preparation of the Gospel of peace, faith, salvation and the Word of God and Prayer . The armour that is available for believers to put on is God's own armour (Isaiah 59: 16--19) for He is the Divine Warrior . </P>
