3
"that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."
4
And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
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
not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
7
with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,
8
knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
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.
10
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
11
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
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.
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.
