Seven pieces of Armour

While St Paul was in prison,
he must have had plenty of time to look at Roman soldiers and their armour.
This helped him come up with his allegory of spiritual armour
(Ephesians 6:10-18),
which is illustrated below.
Although we should all put on this whole armour,
some pieces might be more easily wearable (or more needed?)
by some personalities than others.
The thinker should fit well into the helmet of salvation.  
The observer should hold on more easily to the shield of faith.
The belt of truth and the over-garment of prayer (and praise)
should be more easily worn by the talker.  
And the shoes of the gospel,
the sword of the Spirit
and the breastplate of righteousness
require action – a natural for the doer.
