Ephesians 6:11-18 Put on the full armor of God [to] take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

John 13:12-14 "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. 13 "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and… that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.
