Dual Panel1Children <5043>, obey <5219> your <5216> parents <1118> in <1722> the Lord <2962> for <1063> this <5124> is <1510> right <1342>.
2“Honor <5091> your <4675> father <3962> and <2532> mother <3384>,” which <3748> is <1510> the first <4413> commandment <1785> accompanied by <1722> a promise <1860>, namely,
3“that <2443> it may go <1096> well <2095> with you <4671> and <2532> that you will <1510> live a long time <3118> on <1909> the earth <1093>.”
4Fathers <3962>, do <3949> not <3361> provoke <3949> your <5216> children <5043> to anger <3949>, but <235> raise <1625> them <846> up <1625> in <1722> the discipline <3809> and <2532> instruction <3559> of the Lord <2962>.
5Slaves <1401>, obey <5219> your human <4561> masters <2962> with <3326> fear <5401> and <2532> trembling <5156>, in <1722> the sincerity <572> of your <5216> heart <2588> as <5613> to Christ <5547>,
6not <3361> like <2596> those who do <3787> their work only when someone is watching <3787>– as <5613> people-pleasers <441>– but <235> as <5613> slaves <1401> of Christ <5547> doing <4160> the will <2307> of God <2316> from <1537> the heart <5590>.
7Obey with <3326> enthusiasm <2133>, as though <5613> serving <1398> the Lord <2962> and <2532> not <3756> people <444>,
8because you know <1492> that <3754> each person <1538>, whether <1535> slave <1401> or <1535> free <1658>, if <1437> he does <4160> something <5100> good <18>, this <5124> will be rewarded <2865> by <3844> the Lord <2962>.
9Masters <2962>, treat <4160> your slaves <846> the same way, giving up <447> the use of threats <547>, because you know <1492> that <3754> both <2532> you <5216> and <2532> they <846> have the same <1510> master <2962> in <1722> heaven <3772>, and <2532> there is <1510> no <3756> favoritism <4382> with <3844> him <846>.
10Finally <3064>, be strengthened <1743> in <1722> the Lord <2962> and <2532> in <1722> the strength <2479> of his <846> power <2904>.
11Clothe <1746> yourselves with the full armor <3833> of God <2316> so that <4314> you <5209> may be able <1410> to stand <2476> against <4314> the schemes <3180> of the devil <1228>.
12For <3754> our <2254> struggle <3823> is <1510> not <3756> against <4314> flesh <4561> and <2532> blood <129>, but <235> against <4314> the rulers <746>, against <4314> the powers <1849>, against <4314> the world rulers <2888> of this <5127> darkness <4655>, against <4314> the spiritual <4152> forces of evil <4189> in <1722> the heavens <2032>.
13For <1223> this reason <5124>, take up <353> the full armor <3833> of God <2316> so that <2443> you may be able <1410> to stand <436> your ground on <1722> the evil <4190> day <2250>, and <2532> having done <2716> everything <537>, to stand <2476>.
14Stand firm <2476> therefore <3767>, by fastening the belt <4024> of <1722> truth <225> around your <5216> waist <3751>, by putting on <1746> the breastplate <2382> of righteousness <1343>,
15by fitting <5265> your feet <4228> with <1722> the preparation <2091> that comes from the good news <2098> of peace <1515>,
16and in <1722> all <3956> of this, by taking up <353> the shield <2375> of faith <4102> with <1722> which <3739> you can <1410> extinguish <4570> all <3956> the flaming <4448> arrows <956> of the evil <4190> one.
17And <2532> take <1209> the helmet <4030> of salvation <4992> and <2532> the sword <3162> of the Spirit <4151>, which <3739> is <1510> the word <4487> of God <2316>.
18With <1223> every <3956> prayer <4335> and <2532> petition <1162>, pray <4336> at <1722> all <3956> times <2540> in <1722> the Spirit <4151>, and <2532> to <1519> this <846> end be alert <69>, with <1722> all <3956> perseverance <4343> and <2532> requests <1162> for <4012> all <3956> the saints <40>.
19Pray for <5228> me <1700> also <2532>, that <2443> I <3427> may be given <1325> the message <3056> when I begin to speak <457> <4750>– that I <3450> may confidently <3954> make known <1107> the mystery <3466> of the gospel <2098>,
20for <5228> which <3739> I am an ambassador <4243> in <1722> chains <254>. Pray that <2443> I may be able to speak boldly <3955> as <5613> I <3165> ought <1163> to speak <2980>.
21Tychicus <5190>, my dear <27> brother <80> and <2532> faithful <4103> servant <1249> in <1722> the Lord <2962>, will make <1107> everything <3956> known <1107> to you <5213>, so that <2443> you <1492> too may know <1492> about my <1691> circumstances <2596>, how <5101> I am doing <4238>.
22I have sent <3992> him <3739> to <4314> you <5209> for <1519> this <5124> very purpose, that <2443> you may know <1097> our circumstances <4012> <2257> and <2532> that he may encourage <3870> your <5216> hearts <2588>.
23Peace <1515> to the brothers and sisters <80>, and <2532> love <26> with <3326> faith <4102>, from <575> God <2316> the Father <3962> and <2532> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
24Grace <5485> be with <3326> all <3956> of those who love <25> our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> with <1722> an undying love <861>.
