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

2 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise:

3 "That it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."

4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them in the training and admonition of the Lord.

5 Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from heart,

7 With good will doing service, as the Lord, and not to men,

8 Knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will recieve the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

9 And you, master, 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.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

11 Put on the whole armer of God thay you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore take up the whole armer of God, that you may able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having grided your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 And having shod your feet with the prepration of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

18 Praying always with all prayer and supllication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perserverance and supplication for all the saints -

19 And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth bodly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20 For which, I am ambassdor in chains; that in it I may speak bodly, as I ought to speak

21 But that you may also may know my affairs and how I am doing, Thychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you;

22 Whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts.

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

24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. EPHESIANS 6
