Therefore put on the whole armor of God
Christians should use the protective resources God gives them in fighting the devil in the same way a soldier puts on armor to protect himself against his enemies. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
so that you may be able to stand in this time of evil
The words "stand firm" represent successfully resisting or fighting something. You may need to make explicit what it is that the readers are to resist. Alternate translation: "so that you may be able to resist evil" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
