Chapter 6
|
1
|
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is
right. |
2
|
Honour 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 bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the
Lord. |
5
|
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; |
6
|
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants
of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; |
7
|
With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not
to men: |
8
|
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the
same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond
or free. |
9
|
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. |
10
|
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in
the power of his might. |
11
|
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able
to stand against the wiles of the devil. |
12
|
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. |
13
|
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. |
14
|
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with
truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; |
15
|
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel
of peace; |
16
|
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye
shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. |
17
|
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God: |
18
|
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in
the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance
and supplication for all saints; |
19
|
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, |
20
|
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein
I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. |
21
|
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: |
22
|
Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that
ye might know our affairs, and that he might 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
in sincerity. Amen. |
