This is the first piece of armour that Jesus exhorts his people to have in their daily battle of faith.
In the KJV Bible the scripture is clearer, and it appears thus:
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,
(Ephesians 6.14)
The instruction is to gather your loose clothes about your waist and tie them up so they shall not be in the way when you go to battle.
The same way let us empty our minds of clutter and believe in Jesus, because he is the way and the truth and the life.

∙ 8y agoThis is found in Paul's letter to the Ephesian Church. Paul writes about the armour of God.
The first piece of armor mentioned is the belt of truth. Certainly a Christian must be faithful in holding the truth of God's word, but it is also necessary for the truth to hold the Christian. He/she must apply it to their daily lives. As they test everything by the truth, they find strength and protection in the combat.
Ephesians 6:14 So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight around your waist, with righteousness as your breastplate, --GNB

∙ 8y agoIt is mentioned in Ephesians 6, which talks about The Armor of God:
10 Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Will your waist slim down if you wear a belt around it?
Sadly, no. Having a belt tight enough to make your waist look different would be making the section of chub just become a fat roll pouring of the belt, but to find the slimmest part of your waist is by putting the belt just above the hips, that will probably make you look slimmer. HOPE THIS HELPS!
