1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.→2Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)→3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.→4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.→5Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;→6Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;→7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:→8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.→9And, 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.→10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.→11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.→12For 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.→13Wherefore 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.→14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;→15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;→16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.→17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:→18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;→19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,→20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.→21But 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:→22Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.→23Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.→24Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.→
