“Honor
your
father and mother ”
(
which is the first commandment with a
promise ),
Honour
thy
father and mother ;
which is the first commandment with promise ;
“
that it may go
well with you
and that
you
may
have
a
long life
on the earth. ”
That it may be
well with thee,
and thou
mayest
live
long on the earth.
Fathers, do
not
provoke your children to wrath ;
instead,
bring them up in the discipline
and instruction
of the Lord.
And,
ye
fathers, provoke not
your children to wrath :
but
bring them up in the nurture
and admonition
of the Lord.
Slaves
, obey
your earthly
masters with respect
and
fear and sincerity
of heart, just
as you
would
obey
Christ .
Servants
, be
obedient
to
them
that
are
your masters according
to
the
flesh,
with fear and trembling,
in
singleness
of your
heart, as unto
Christ ;
And
do
this
not only
to
please
them
while
they
are
watching
, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your
heart .
Not with
eyeservice
, as
menpleasers;
but as the
servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the
heart ;
Serve
with good will, as to the Lord and not to men ,
With good will doing
service
, as to the Lord ,
and not to men :
because
you
know
that the
Lord
will
reward
each
one
for
whatever
good he does
, whether he is
slave
or free.
Knowing
that whatsoever
good thing
any
man
doeth,
the
same
shall
he receive
of
the
Lord
, whether he be
bond
or free.
And masters, do the same for
your
slaves.
Give
up
your
use
of
threats
, because
you
know
that He
who
is
both
their
Master and
yours
is in heaven ,
and
there
is no
favoritism
with Him.
And ,
ye
masters, do the same things
unto
them
, forbearing
threatening:
knowing
that your
Master also
is in heaven ;
neither
is there
respect
of
persons
with him.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His
mighty
power.
Finally, my
brethren,
be strong in the Lord ,
and in the
power of
his
might
.
Put on the full
armor
of God, so
that you
can
make
your
stand against the devil’s
schemes
.
Put on the whole
armour
of God, that ye
may
be
able
to
stand against the wiles
of
the
devil
.
For our
struggle
is
not against flesh and blood, but against the
rulers
, against the
authorities
, against the powers
of this
world’s
darkness, and
against the
spiritual forces
of
evil
in the
heavenly
realms
.
For we
wrestle
not against flesh and blood, but against principalities
, against powers
, against the rulers
of the
darkness of
this
world
, against spiritual wickedness
in high
places
.
Therefore
take up
the full
armor
of God, so
that when
the
day
of
evil
comes,
you
will
be able to stand
your
ground
, and having done everything
, to stand.
Wherefore
take unto
you
the whole
armour
of God, that ye
may
be able to withstand
in
the
evil
day
, and having done all
, to stand.
Stand firm
then
, with the
belt
of
truth buckled
around
your
waist
, with
the breastplate of righteousness arrayed,
Stand therefore
, having
your
loins
girt
about
with truth, and
having
on
the breastplate of righteousness ;
and with
your feet fitted
with the readiness
of the gospel of peace .
And your feet shod
with the preparation
of the gospel of peace ;
In
addition
to
all this
, take
up
the shield of faith, with
which
you
can
extinguish
all the flaming
arrows
of the evil
one
.
Above
all, taking
the shield of faith, wherewith
ye
shall
be
able
to
quench
all the fiery
darts
of the wicked
.
And take the helmet of salvation and 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 :
Pray
in the Spirit at
all
times
, with
every
kind
of
prayer
and petition.
To
this
end,
stay
alert
with all perseverance in
your
prayers
for all the
saints .
Praying
always
with
all
prayer
and
supplication
in the Spirit, and watching
thereunto
with all perseverance and
supplication
for all saints ;
Pray
also
for me, that whenever
I
open
my
mouth,
words
may be given me so
that I will
boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,
And
for me, that utterance
may be given unto
me ,
that I may
open
my
mouth
boldly ,
to
make known the mystery of the gospel,
for which I am an ambassador in chains.
Pray
that I may proclaim
it
fearlessly
, as I should
.
For which I am an ambassador in bonds:
that therein
I may speak
boldly
, as I ought
to
speak
.
Tychicus, the
beloved brother and faithful servant
in the Lord, will
tell
you
everything,
so
that
you also
may
know
about
me
and
what
I
am
doing.
But
that
ye
also
may
know
my
affairs,
and
how
I
do,
Tychicus, a
beloved brother and faithful minister
in the Lord, shall
make
known
to
you all
things:
I have sent him
to
you for this
very
purpose, that you
may
know about
us
, and that he may
encourage
your hearts.
Whom
I have sent unto
you for the
same
purpose, that ye
might
know our
affairs
, and that he might
comfort
your hearts.
Peace to the brothers
and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Peace be
to the brethren,
and love with faith ,
from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace to
all who
love our Lord Jesus Christ with
an
undying
love
.
Grace be
with
all them
that
love our Lord Jesus Christ in
sincerity
. Amen.
