Dual Panel1Children<5043>, obey<5219> your parents<1118> in the Lord<2962>, for this<3778> is right<1342>.
2HONOR<5091> YOUR FATHER<3962> AND MOTHER<3384> (which<3748> is the first<4413> commandment<1785> with a promise<1860>),
3SO<2443> THAT IT MAY BE WELL<2095> WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE<3118> LONG<3118> ON THE EARTH<1093>.
4Fathers<3962>, do not provoke<3949> your children<5043> to anger<3949>, but bring<1625> them up in the discipline<3809> and instruction<3559> of the Lord<2962>.
5Slaves<1401>, be obedient<5219> to those<3588> who are your masters<2962> according<2596> to the flesh<4561>, with fear<5401> and trembling<5156>, in the sincerity<572> of your heart<2588>, as to Christ<5547>;
6not by way<2596> of eyeservice<3787>, as men-pleasers<441>, but as slaves<1401> of Christ<5547>, doing<4160> the will<2307> of God<2316> from the heart<5590>.
7With good<2133> will<2133> render<1398> service<1398>, as to the Lord<2962>, and not to men<444>,
8knowing<3609> that whatever<1437><5100> good<18> thing<18> each<1538> one<1538> does<4160>, this<3778> he will receive<2865> back<2865> from the Lord<2962>, whether<1535> slave<1401> or<1535> free<1658>.
9And masters<2962>, do<4160> the same<846> things<846> to them, and give<447> up threatening<547>, knowing<3609> that both<2532> their Master<2962> and yours<4771> is in heaven<3772>, and there is no<3756> partiality<4382> with Him.
10Finally<3062>, be strong<1743> in the Lord<2962> and in the strength<2904> of His might<2479>.
11Put<1746> on the full<3833> armor<3833> of God<2316>, so<4314> that you will be able<1410> to stand<2476> firm<2476> against<4314> the schemes<3180> of the devil<1228>.
12For our struggle<3823> is not against<4314> flesh<4561> and blood<129>, but against<4314> the rulers<746>, against<4314> the powers<1849>, against<4314> the world<2888> forces<2888> of this<3778> darkness<4655>, against<4314> the spiritual<4152> forces of wickedness<4189> in the heavenly<2032> places.
13Therefore<1223><3778>, take<353> up the full<3833> armor<3833> of God<2316>, so<2443> that you will be able<1410> to resist<436> in the evil<4190> day<2250>, and having done<2716> everything<537>, to stand<2476> firm<2476>.
14Stand<2476> firm<2476> therefore<3767>, HAVING GIRDED<4024> YOUR LOINS<3751> WITH TRUTH<225>, and HAVING PUT<1746> ON THE BREASTPLATE<2382> OF RIGHTEOUSNESS<1343>,
15and having shod<5265> YOUR FEET<4228> WITH THE PREPARATION<2091> OF THE GOSPEL<2098> OF PEACE<1515>;
16in addition to all<3956>, taking<353> up the shield<2375> of faith<4102> with which<3739> you will be able<1410> to extinguish<4570> all<3956> the flaming<4448> arrows<956> of the evil<4190> one.
17And take<1209> THE HELMET<4030> OF SALVATION<4992>, and the sword<3162> of the Spirit<4151>, which<3739> is the word<4487> of God<2316>.
18With all<3956> prayer<4335> and petition<1162> pray<4336> at all<3956> times<2540> in the Spirit<4151>, and with this<846> in view<1519>, be on the alert<69> with all<3956> perseverance<4343> and petition<1162> for all<3956> the saints<40>,
19and pray on my behalf<5228>, that utterance<3056> may be given<1325> to me in the opening<457> of my mouth<4750>, to make<1107> known<1107> with boldness<3954> the mystery<3466> of the gospel<2098>,
20for which<3739> I am<4243> an ambassador<4243> in chains<254>; that in proclaiming it I may speak<3955> boldly<3955>, as I ought<1163> to speak<2980>.
21But that you also<2532> may know<3609> about<2596> my circumstances<3588><2596>, how<5101> I am doing<4238>, Tychicus<5190>, the beloved<27> brother<80> and faithful<4103> minister<1249> in the Lord<2962>, will make<1107> everything<3956> known<1107> to you.
22I have sent<3992> him to you for this<3778> very<846> purpose, so<2443> that you may know<1097> about<4012> us, and that he may comfort<3870> your hearts<2588>.
23Peace<1515> be to the brethren<80>, and love<26> with faith<4102>, from God<2316> the Father<3962> and the Lord<2962> Jesus<2424> Christ<5547>.
24Grace<5485> be with all<3956> those<3588> who love<25> our Lord<2962> Jesus<2424> Christ<5547> with incorruptible<861> love.
