by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left;
in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
in [speaking] the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand [like holding the sword to attack] and for the left [like holding the shield to defend],
By [speaking] the word of truth, in the power of God, with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand [to attack] and for the left hand [to defend];
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
by the word of truth, by the power of God; through weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,
telling the truth, and God’s power. We carried the weapons of righteousness in our right hand and our left hand.
and truthfulness of speech; and by God’s power. We commend ourselves through our use of righteous weapons, whether for pressing our cause or defending it;
We have spoken the truth, and God's power has worked in us. In all our struggles we have said and done only what is right.
in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God; through the arms of righteousness on the right hand and left,
in the word of truth, in the power of God; through the weapons of  righteousness for the right hand and the left;
In the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armour of justice on the right hand and on the left;
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.
We speak a true message. God's power gives us strength. We do what is right, so we fight like soldiers on God's behalf. It is like we have God's weapons in both hands!
in the word of truth, in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness on the right and on the left;
by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
by ·speaking the truth [or the message/word of truth; C the Gospel], and by God’s power. ·We use our right living [L …with weapons of righteousness] ·to defend ourselves against everything [or both to attack (with a sword) and defend (with a shield); L in our right hands and in our left].
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand, and on the left,

by the message of truth, by the power of God; through weapons of righteousness on the right hand and the left,
by speaking the truth, and by God’s power. We use our right living to defend ourselves against everything.
truthful speech, and divine power; through the weapons of righteousness in the right and left hands;
As far as we are concerned we do not wish to stand in anyone’s way, nor do we wish to bring discredit on the ministry God has given us. Indeed we want to prove ourselves genuine ministers of God whatever we have to go through—patient endurance of troubles or even disasters, being flogged or imprisoned; being mobbed, having to work like slaves, having to go without food or sleep. All this we want to meet with sincerity, with insight and patience; by sheer kindness and the Holy Spirit; with genuine love, speaking the plain truth, and living by the power of God. Our sole defence, our only weapon, is a life of integrity, whether we meet honour or dishonour, praise or blame. Called “impostors” we must be true, called “nobodies” we must be in the public eye. Never far from death, yet here we are alive, always “going through it” yet never “going under”. We know sorrow, yet our joy is inextinguishable. We have “nothing to bless ourselves with” yet we bless many others with true riches. We are penniless, and yet in reality we have everything worth having.
in the word of truth, in the power of God through the weapons of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,
in the word of truth, in the power of God, with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and left hand,
We have been truthful, with God’s power helping us in all we do. All of the godly man’s arsenal—weapons of defense, and weapons of attack—have been ours.
Companions as we are in this work with you, we beg you, please don’t squander one bit of this marvelous life God has given us. God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; The day you needed me, I was there to help. Well, now is the right time to listen, the day to be helped. Don’t put it off; don’t frustrate God’s work by showing up late, throwing a question mark over everything we’re doing. Our work as God’s servants gets validated—or not—in the details. People are watching us as we stay at our post, alertly, unswervingly . . . in hard times, tough times, bad times; when we’re beaten up, jailed, and mobbed; working hard, working late, working without eating; with pure heart, clear head, steady hand; in gentleness, holiness, and honest love; when we’re telling the truth, and when God’s showing his power; when we’re doing our best setting things right; when we’re praised, and when we’re blamed; slandered, and honored; true to our word, though distrusted; ignored by the world, but recognized by God; terrifically alive, though rumored to be dead; beaten within an inch of our lives, but refusing to die; immersed in tears, yet always filled with deep joy; living on handouts, yet enriching many; having nothing, having it all.
by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
by the word of truth, by the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness both for the right hand and for the left;
truthfulness, and the presence of God’s power. We demonstrate that we are God’s servants
in truthful speech, in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness at the right and at the left;
in the word of truth, and in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,
in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,
truthfulness, and the power of God. We wield weapons of righteousness with right hand and left,
by speaking the truth, and by God’s power. We use our right living to defend ourselves against everything.
by truthful teaching, by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness both for the right hand and for the left,
We speak the truth. We serve in the power of God. We hold the weapons of godliness in the right hand and in the left.
in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
We have spoken the truth. We have God’s power. We have the sword of being right with God in the right hand and in the left hand.
We faithfully preach the truth. God’s power is working in us. We use the weapons of righteousness in the right hand for attack and the left hand for defense.
in the words of truth; in the power of God, with the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left;
truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
by speaking the truth, by God’s power, with weapons for God’s faithful work in right and left hand alike,
In the dvar HaEmes, in the gevurat Hashem, through the weapons of Tzedek of the right hand and of the left.
by the Word of Truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand, and on the left;
truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
in truthful speech, in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
Now with the voice of truth and power of God—armed on the right and armed on the left with righteousness from God—we continue.
in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
We have told you the truth with the power of God. These are the right things to use in our fight, and we have used them with both hands.
in the word of truth, in the virtue of God; by armours of rightwiseness on the right half and on the left half;
in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,
