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.
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,
with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,
with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6: 13-17 (NIV)

First, internal conflicts drove wedges between the very people who had committed to the translation. Sadly, things got so bad that the project was suspended for almost a year. Then, just as the translation was getting back on track, the project leader and all of the translators passed away within a matter of months.
