“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. <<[To [the]
Ephesians written from Rome, by Tychicus.]>>” (Ephesians 6:1-24 AV)
