[1] Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. [2] “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise: [3] “that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”† [4] You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. [5] Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ, [6] not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as 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 whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free. [9] You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him. [10] Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. [11] Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. [13] Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, [15] and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace, [16] above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts 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 all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints. [19] Pray for me, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News, [20] for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. [21] But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things. [22] I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state and that he may comfort your hearts. [23] Peace be to the brothers, 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 with incorruptible love. Amen.

[1] Children, G5043 obey G5219 your G5216 parents G1118 in G1722 the Lord: G2962 for G1063 this G5124 is G2076 right. G1342 [2] Honour G5091 thy G4675 father G3962 and G2532 mother; G3384 which G3748 is G2076 the first G4413 commandment G1785 with G1722 promise; G1860 [3] that G2443 it may be G1096 well G2095 with thee, G4671 and G2532 thou mayest G2071 live long G3118 on G1909 the G3588 earth. G1093 [4] And, G2532 ye fathers, G3962 provoke G3949 not G3361 your G5216 children G5043 to wrath: G3949 but G235 bring G1625 them G846 up G1625 in G1722 the nurture G3809 and G2532 admonition G3559 of the Lord. G2962 [5] Servants, G1401 be obedient G5219 to them that are G3588 your masters G2962 according to G2596 the flesh, G4561 with G3326 fear G5401 and G2532 trembling, G5156 in G1722 singleness G572 of your G5216 heart, G2588 as G5613 unto Christ; G5547 [6] not G3361 with G2596 eyeservice, G3787 as G5613 menpleasers; G441 but G235 as G5613 the servants G1401 of Christ, G5547 doing G4160 the G3588 will G2307 of God G2316 from G1537 the heart; G5590 [7] with G3326 good will G2133 doing service, G1398 as G5613 to the G3588 Lord, G2962 and G2532 not G3756 to men: G444 [8] knowing G1492 that G3754 whatsoever G3739 G1437 G5100 good thing G18 any man G1538 doeth, G4160 the same G5124 shall he receive G2865 of G3844 the G3588 Lord, G2962 whether G1535 he be bond G1401 or G1535 free. G1658 [9] And, G2532 ye masters, G2962 do G4160 the G3588 same things G846 unto G4314 them, G846 forbearing G447§ threatening: G547 knowing G1492 that G3754 your G5216 G846 Master G2962 also G2532‡ is G2076 in G1722 heaven; G3772 neither G2532 G3756 is there G2076 respect of persons G4382 with G3844 him. G846 [10] Finally, G3063 my G3450 brethren, G80 be strong G1743 in G1722 the Lord, G2962 and G2532 in G1722 the G3588 power G2904 of his G846 might. G2479 [11] Put on G1746 the G3588 whole armour G3833 of God, G2316 that G4314 ye G5209 may be able G1410 to stand G2476 against G4314 the G3588 wiles G3180 of the G3588 devil. G1228 [12] For G3754 we G2254 wrestle G3823 not G3756 G2076 against G4314 flesh G4561 and G2532 blood, G129 but G235 against G4314 principalities, G746 against G4314 powers, G1849 against G4314 the G3588 rulers G2888 of the G3588 darkness G4655 of this G5127 world, G165 against G4314 spiritual G4152 wickedness G4189§ in G1722 high G2032 places.§ [13] Wherefore G1223 G5124 take unto you G353 the G3588 whole armour G3833 of God, G2316 that G2443 ye may be able G1410 to withstand G436 in G1722 the G3588 evil G4190 day, G2250 and G2532 having done G2716 all, G537§ to stand. G2476 [14] Stand G2476 therefore, G3767 having G4024 your G5216 loins G3751 girt about G4024 with G1722 truth, G225 and G2532 having on G1746 the G3588 breastplate G2382 of righteousness; G1343 [15] and G2532 your G3588 feet G4228 shod G5265 with G1722 the preparation G2091 of the G3588 gospel G2098 of peace; G1515 [16] above G1909 all, G3956 taking G353 the G3588 shield G2375 of faith, G4102 wherewith G1722 G3739 ye shall be able G1410 to quench G4570 all G3956 the G3588 fiery G4448 darts G956 of the G3588 wicked. G4190 [17] And G2532 take G1209 the G3588 helmet G4030 of salvation, G4992 and G2532 the G3588 sword G3162 of the G3588 Spirit, G4151 which G3739 is G2076 the word G4487 of God: G2316 [18] praying G4336 always G1722 G3956 G2540 with G1223 all G3956 prayer G4335 and G2532 supplication G1162 in G1722 the Spirit, G4151 and G2532 watching G69 thereunto G1519 G846 G5124 with G1722 all G3956 perseverance G4343 and G2532 supplication G1162 for G4012 all G3956 saints; G40 [19] and G2532 for G5228 me, G1700 that G2443 utterance G3056 may be given G1325 unto me, G3427 that I may open G1722 G457 my G3450 mouth G4750 boldly, G1722 G3954 to make known G1107 the G3588 mystery G3466 of the G3588 gospel, G2098 [20] for G5228 which G3739 I am an ambassador G4243 in G1722 bonds: G254§ that G2443 therein G1722§ G846 I may speak boldly, G3955 as G5613 I G3165 ought G1163 to speak. G2980 [21] But G1161 that G2443 ye G5210 also G2532 may know G1492 my G1691 G2596 affairs, G3588 and how G5101 I do, G4238 Tychicus, G5190 a beloved G27 brother G80 and G2532 faithful G4103 minister G1249 in G1722 the Lord, G2962 shall make known G1107 to you G5213 all things: G3956 [22] whom G3739 I have sent G3992 unto G4314 you G5209 for G1519 the same G846 purpose, G5124 that G2443 ye might know G1097 our G2257 affairs, G3588 G4012 and G2532 that he might comfort G3870 your G5216 hearts. G2588 [23] Peace G1515 be to the G3588 brethren, G80 and G2532 love G26 with G3326 faith, G4102 from G575 God G2316 the Father G3962 and G2532 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547 [24] Grace G5485 be with G3326 all G3956 them that G3588 love G25 our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 in G1722 sincerity. G861§ Amen. G281
