Children and Parents
1sChildren, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2t“Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3“that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, ubut bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Bondservants and Masters
5vBondservants,1 obey your earthly masters2 with fear and trembling, wwith a sincere heart, xas you would Christ, 6not by the way of eye-service, as ypeople-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, 8zknowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, awhether he is a bondservant or is free. 9Masters, do the same to them, band stop your threatening, knowing that che who is both their Master3 and yours is in heaven, and that dthere is no partiality with him.
The Whole Armor of God
10Finally, ebe strong in the Lord and in fthe strength of his might. 11gPut on hthe whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against ithe schemes of the devil. 12For jwe do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against kthe rulers, against the authorities, against lthe cosmic powers over mthis present darkness, against nthe spiritual forces of evil oin the heavenly places. 13Therefore ptake up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in qthe evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14Stand therefore, rhaving fastened on the belt of truth, and shaving put on the breastplate of righteousness,
