Breastplate of righteousness-
Matthew 5:6
John 16:8
Protects (primarily) the heart- Proverbs 4:23

Sandals of the gospel-
Proverbs 21:31
2 Timothy 4:2

Shield of faith-
Ephesians 2:8-9
1 John 5:4
Habakkuk 2:4
1 Peter 1:5
Hebrews 11:6

Helmet of salvation-
Proverbs 4:9
Luke 2:30
Titus 2:11
Interesting to note that this word translated "salvation" only appears five times in the NT

Sword of the Spirit-
Hebrews 4:12
Luke 22:36
Matthew 10:34
Matthew 4

Pilum of prayer-
Philippians 4:5-6
Colossians 4:2

While the shield is oftentimes considered only a defensive tool, in battle, it can also be a weapon. Similarly, the sword, considered solely offensive, is also defensive. Just as the pilum is both long range and close combat.
