 6:1  Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is
right.
 6:2  Honour thy father and mother; which is the first
commandment with promise;
 6:3  That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long
on the earth.
 6:4  And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but
bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
 6:5  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;
 6:6  Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants
of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
 6:7  With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to
men:
 6:8  Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the
same shall he receive of the Lord, whether [he be] bond or
free.
 6:9  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.
 6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the
power of his might.
 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil.
 6:12  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].
 6:13  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.
 6:14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with
truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
 6:15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of
peace;
 6:16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye
shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
 6:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God:
 6:18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints;
 6:19  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,
 6:20  For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I
may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
 6:21  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:
 6:22  Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye
might know our affairs, and [that] he might comfort your
hearts.
 6:23  Peace [be] to the brethren, and love with faith, from
God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
 6:24  Grace [be] with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ
in sincerity. Amen.
