# so that you may be able to stand ... to stand firm

The words "stand" and "stand firm" represent successfully resisting or fighting something. Alternate translation: "so that you may be able to resist evil ... to remain strong" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# in the evil day

Here the word "day" can refer to any short period of time, even a period longer than a day. Alternate translation: "at the evil time" or "when people do evil deeds" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
