The right way of living has prepared us to defend ourselves

" We show that we are God's servants by our pure lives, by our understanding, by our patience, and by our kindness. We show it by the Holy Spirit, by genuine love, 7 by speaking the truth, and by depending on God's power. This right way of living has prepared us to defend ourselves against every kind of attack."
