6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “so that it may be well with you and you may be long-lived on the earth.” 4 And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger. Instead, raise them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5 Slaves, obey your masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in honesty of your heart, as to Christ, 6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul, 7 serving with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men, 8 knowing that each person, if he does something good, this he will receive from the Lord, whether slave or free.
9 And masters, do the same to them. Stop using threats. You know that the Master, both theirs and yours, is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the force of his strength. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, to enable you to stand against the scheming of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-controllers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Because of this, put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done everything, to stand. 14 Stand, therefore, having girded up your loins with truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with readiness of the gospel of peace. 16 In everything take up the shield of the faith, by which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows 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 every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit. And to this end, be watchful with all perseverance and requests for all the saints, 19 and for me, so that a message might be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel 20 (for which I am an ambassador in chains), so that in it I may speak boldly, as it is necessary for me to speak.
21 But so that you also may know the things concerning me, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you everything, 22 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, so that you may know the things about us and your hearts may be encouraged.
23 Peace to the brothers, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace be with all the ones loving our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptibility.
