Bible Verses About The Armor of God

“Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:”

— Psalms 144:1

"Put on the whole armour of God" — Ephesians 6 dresses a believer head to toe, and every piece maps to something Christ already is. These verses walk the inventory. The fifteen verses below are the Bible's direct address to that situation, shown in full KJV text from Psalms 144:1 to Hebrews 4:12.

Quick answer: The best-known verse about the armor of god here is Psalms 144:1: "Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:" Isaiah 59:17 follows close behind: "For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak." Both are public-domain translations, shown in full on the cards below with a modern-English toggle.

The full list of fifteen is on this page — there is no single required verse, and different seasons call for different texts.
Where do these verses come from, and are they reliable?
Every verse on this site is rendered from public-domain source texts — the King James Version (1611) and the World English Bible — stored on this site and verified verse-by-verse when the data was built. Nothing is paraphrased or hand-typed. The references are exact, and both translations can be compared on every card.
Where in the Bible does it talk about the armor of god?
The verses on this page come from 8 books of the Bible — most notably Psalms, Isaiah, Romans and 5 more — spanning both Old and New Testaments. The distribution itself is worth noticing: Scripture addresses the armor of god in more than one voice, which is why the page shows whole verses rather than a single proof text.
