Ephesians 6:1-13

11Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 22Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.

43Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but 4bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

55Slaves, be obedient to those who are your 6masters according to the flesh, with 7fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, 8as to Christ; 69not 10by way of eyeservice, as 11men-pleasers, but as 12slaves of Christ, 13doing the will of God from the 14heart. 7With good will 15render service, 16as to the Lord, and not to men, 817knowing that 18whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, 19whether slave or free.

9And masters, do the same things to them, and 20give up threatening, knowing that 21both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is 22no partiality with Him.

10Finally, 23be strong in the Lord and in 24the strength of His might. 1125Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the 26schemes of the devil. 12For our 27struggle is not against 2829flesh and blood, but 30against the rulers, against the powers, against the 31world forces of this 32darkness, against the 33spiritual forces of wickedness in 34the heavenly places. 13Therefore, take up 35the full armor of God, so that you will be able to 36resist in 37the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
