Not a single piece of the armour can be dispensed with

J. C. Ryle, Holiness

Let us remember that if we would fight successfully we must put on the whole armour of God, and never lay it aside till we die. Not a single piece of the armour can be dispensed with.

J. C. Ryle, Holiness (1879)


J. C. Ryle (1816–1900) was the first Anglican Bishop of Liverpool. Holiness is his best-known book.
