Armour of God!
So I did a little diagram to explain the first half of this passage (this is a lot better than the drawing I did in my notebook . . mine has a floating head and a veil so :P)
And my bible did a really nice summary of the armour of God, and a little background info so:

Paul then asks them to pray:

- in the spirit

- for all requests
- and lastly for Paul
then v21-24 is the general goodbye, he tells them he will send Tychicus and yeh, that's the end!
