Chapter 6

1


 

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

 

 

-

2


 

  Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise:  

 

 

-

3


 

  That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon earth.  

 

 

-

4


 

  And you, fathers, provoke not your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and correction of the Lord.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ:  

 

 

-

6


 

  Not serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men, but, as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart,  

 

 

-

7


 

  With a good will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond, or free.  

 

 

-

9


 

  And you, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatenings, knowing that the Lord both of them and you is in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Finally, brethren, be strengthened in the Lord, and in the might of his power.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil.  

 

 

-

12


 

  For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice,  

 

 

-

15


 

  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace:  

 

 

-

16


 

  In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one.  

 

 

-

17


 

  And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God).  

 

 

-

18


 

  By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit; and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints:  

 

 

-

19


 

  And for me, that speech may be given me, that I may open my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel.  

 

 

-

20


 

  For which I am an ambassador in a chain, so that therein I may be bold to speak according as I ought.  

 

 

-

21


 

  But that you also may know the things that concern me, and what I am doing, Tychicus, my dearest brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things:  

 

 

-

22


 

  Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that you may know the things concerning us, and that he may comfort your hearts.  

 

 

-

23


 

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

 

 

-

24


 

  Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen.
