Chapter 6

1


 

  Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise),  

 

 

-

3


 

  that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.  

 

 

-

4


 

  And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;  

 

 

-

6


 

  not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;  

 

 

-

7


 

  with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men:  

 

 

-

8


 

  knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free.  

 

 

-

9


 

  And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  

 

 

-

12


 

  For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].  

 

 

-

13


 

  Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,  

 

 

-

15


 

  and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;  

 

 

-

16


 

  withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil [one].  

 

 

-

17


 

  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:  

 

 

-

18


 

  with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,  

 

 

-

19


 

  And on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,  

 

 

-

20


 

  for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.  

 

 

-

21


 

  But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:  

 

 

-

22


 

  whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.  

 

 

-

23


 

  Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  

 

 

-

24


 

  Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with [a love] incorruptible.
