"Resist evil"
# the belt of truth
Truth holds everything together for a believer just as a belt holds the clothing of a soldier together.
# truth ... righteousness
We are to know the truth and act in ways that please God.
# the breastplate of righteousness
Possible meanings are 1) the gift of righteousness covers a believer's heart just as a breastplate protects the chest of a soldier or 2) our living as God wants us gives us a clear conscience that protects our hearts the way a breastplate protects a soldier's chest.
