Children and Parents
Children, obey your parents in [the] Lord, for this is just.
Children, obey your parents in [the] Lord, for this is just.
“Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise:
Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise,
that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived on the earth.
And [ye] fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in [the] discipline and admonition of [the] Lord.
Slaves and Masters
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.
Slaves and Masters
Bondmen, obey masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ;
Bondmen, obey masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ;
Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart.
not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from [the] soul,
Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
serving with good will as to the Lord, and not to men;
Remember that the Lord will reward each one of us for the good we do, whether we are slaves or free.
knowing that whatever good each shall do, this he shall receive of [the] Lord, whether bond or free.
Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Don’t threaten them; remember, you both have the same Master in heaven, and he has no favorites.
And, masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no acceptance of persons with him.
The Whole Armor of God
A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
The Full Armor of God
For the rest, brethren, be strong in [the] Lord, and in the might of his strength.
For the rest, brethren, be strong in [the] Lord, and in the might of his strength.
Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
Put on the panoply of God, that ye may be able to stand against the artifices of the devil:
because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual [power] of wickedness in the heavenlies.
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
For this reason take [to you] the panoply of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having accomplished all things, to stand.
Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.
Stand therefore, having girt about your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
and shod your feet with [the] preparation of the glad tidings of peace:
besides all [these], having taken the shield of faith with which ye will be able to quench all the inflamed darts of the wicked one.
Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Have also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's word;
Pray Continually
praying at all seasons, with all prayer and supplication in [the] Spirit, and watching unto this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;
praying at all seasons, with all prayer and supplication in [the] Spirit, and watching unto this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;
and for me in order that utterance may be given to me in [the] opening of my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the glad tidings,
I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God’s ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should.
for which I am an ambassador [bound] with a chain, that I may be bold in it as I ought to speak.
Final Greetings
To bring you up to date, Tychicus will give you a full report about what I am doing and how I am getting along. He is a beloved brother and faithful helper in the Lord’s work.
Final Greetings
But in order that *ye* also may know what concerns me, how I am getting on, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in [the] Lord, shall make all things known to you;
But in order that *ye* also may know what concerns me, how I am getting on, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in [the] Lord, shall make all things known to you;
I have sent him to you for this very purpose — to let you know how we are doing and to encourage you.
whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that ye may know of our affairs and that he may encourage your hearts.
Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
