Children and Parents
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
“Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise:
“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 bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
Slaves and Masters
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.
Bondservants and Masters
Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;
Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;
Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart.
not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,
Remember that the Lord will reward each one of us for the good we do, whether we are slaves or free.
knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Don’t threaten them; remember, you both have the same Master in heaven, and he has no favorites.
The Whole Armor of God
A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
The Whole Armor of God
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.
Stand 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.
Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
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,
I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God’s ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should.
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

A Gracious Greeting
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;
