## And take the helmet of salvation ##

Salvation given by God protects the believer's mind just as a helmet protects the head of a soldier. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

## the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God ##

The word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, is to be used to fight against and defend the believer from the devil just as a soldier uses his sword to fight and defend against enemy attacks. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

## through every prayer and request praying at all times in the Spirit ##

AT: "Pray at all times in the Spirit as you pray and make specific requests"

## with all perseverance and prayer for all those set apart for God ##

AT: "with constant alertness and prayer for all the believers"
