* Children , obey your parents in the Lord , for this is right . * Honor your father and mother , which is the first commandment with promise : * that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth . * And you , fathers , do not provoke your children to wrath , but nurture them in the discipline and admonition of the Lord . * Bondservants , be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh , with fear and trembling , in sincerity of heart , as to Christ ; * not with eyeservice , as men-pleasers , but as bondservants of Christ , doing the will of God from the heart , * with goodwill doing service , as to the Lord , and not to men , * knowing that whatever good anyone does , he will receive the same from the Lord , whether he is a slave or free . * And you , masters , do the same things to them , giving up threatening , knowing that your own Master also is in Heaven , and there is no partiality with Him . * Finally , my brethren , be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might . * Put on all the 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 rulers , against authorities , against the world ’s rulers of the darkness of this age , against spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies . * Therefore take up all the armor of God , that you may be able to resist in the evil day , and having done all , to stand . * Stand firm 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 ; * praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit , being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints ; * and for me , that utterance may be given to me , that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel , * for which I am an ambassador in chains ; that in it I may speak boldly , as I ought to speak . * But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing , Tychicus , a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord , will make all things known to you , * whom I have sent to you for this very purpose , that you may know our affairs , and that he may encourage your hearts . * Peace to the brethren , and love with faith , from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ . * Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity . Amen .
