Children, obey
your
parents
in
the Lord
: for
this
is
right
.
Honour thy
father
and
mother
; (which
is
the first
commandment
with
promise
;)
That it may be
well
with thee
, and
thou mayest
live long
on
the earth
.
And, ye fathers
, provoke
not
your
children
to wrath
: but
bring
them
up
in
the nurture
and
admonition
of the Lord
.
Servants, be obedient
to them that are your masters
according to
the flesh
, with
fear
and
trembling
, in
singleness
of your
heart
, as
unto Christ
;
Not with
eyeservice
, as
menpleasers
; but
as
the servants
of Christ
, doing
the will
of God
from
the heart
;
With good will
doing service
, as to the Lord
, and
not
to men
:
Knowing that
whatsoever
good thing
any man
doeth
, the same
shall he receive
of
the Lord
, whether
he be bond
or
free
.
And, ye masters
, do
the same things
unto
them
, forbearing
threatening
: knowing
that
your
Master
also
is
in
heaven
; neither
is there
respect of persons
with
him
.
Finally, my
brethren
, be strong
in
the Lord
, and
in
the power
of his
might
.
Put on the whole armour
of God
, that
ye
may be able
to stand
against
the wiles
of the devil
.
For we
wrestle
not
against
flesh
and
blood
, but
against
principalities
, against
powers
, against
the rulers
of the darkness
of this
world
, against
spiritual
wickedness
in
high
places .
Wherefore take unto you
the whole armour
of God
, that
ye may be able
to withstand
in
the evil
day
, and
having done
all
, to stand
.
Stand therefore
, having
your
loins
girt about
with
truth
, and
having on
the breastplate
of righteousness
;
And your feet
shod
with
the preparation
of the gospel
of peace
;
Above all
, taking
the shield
of faith
, wherewith
ye shall be able
to quench
all
the fiery
darts
of the wicked
.
And take
the helmet
of salvation
, and
the sword
of the Spirit
, which is
the word
of God
:
Praying always
with
all
prayer
and
supplication
in
the Spirit
, and
watching
thereunto
with
all
perseverance
and
supplication
for
all
saints
;
And for
me
, that
utterance
may be given
unto me
, that I may open
my
mouth
boldly
, to make known
the mystery
of the gospel
,
For which
I am an ambassador
in
bonds
: that
therein
I may speak boldly
, as
I
ought
to speak
.
But that
ye
also
may know
my
affairs
, and how
I do
, Tychicus
, a beloved
brother
and
faithful
minister
in
the Lord
, shall make known
to you
all things
:
Whom I have sent
unto
you
for
the same
purpose
, that
ye might know
our
affairs
, and
that he might comfort
your
hearts
.
Peace be to the brethren
, and
love
with
faith
, from
God
the Father
and
the Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
Grace be with
all
them that love
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
in
sincerity
. Amen
. To
the Ephesians
written
from
Rome
, by
Tychicus
