| 6:1 | Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. |
| 6:2 | "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: |
| 6:3 | "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth." |
| 6:4 | And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. |
| 6:5 | Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; |
| 6:6 | not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, |
| 6:7 | with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, |
| 6:8 | knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether [he is] a slave or free. |
| 6:9 | And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality 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 armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. |
| 6:12 | For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. |
| 6:13 | Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. |
| 6:14 | Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, |
| 6:15 | and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; |
| 6:16 | above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. |
| 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, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints |
| 6:19 | and for me, that utterance may be given to 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 chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. |
| 6:21 | But that you also may know my affairs [and] how I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you; |
| 6:22 | whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and [that] he may comfort your hearts. |
| 6:23 | Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 6:24 | Grace [be] with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. |
