Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; - Ephesians 6:11-17 (NKJV)
✝️✝️✝️
Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O Mighty One,
In Your splendor and Your majesty!
And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness[.]
— Psalm 45:3-4 LSB

"Strange Women Lyin' In Ponds Distributin' Swords Is No System For A Basis Of Government." - Dennis
Every Python quip deserves a like!
But the purist in me insists you swap basis and system. :)
I agree it is awkward. But it is verbatim.

Not to be argumentative (or to cause you to be repressed :) ), but the line in that linked vid is "no basis for a system of".
They're just juxtaposed in your original.
I know, as a moistened bint has recently lobbed a scimitar at me, you see.
There's a meme going round with it changed to: "Old men lying in swamps distributing executive orders..." Wish I could take credit.
Bahahah! “NI!”
