1. Children, obey your parents in the Lord for this is right.
|
1. Children G5043 , obey G5219 your G5216 parents G1118 in G1722 the Lord G2962 : for G1063 this G5124 is G2076 right G1342 .
|
|
2. "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment accompanied by a promise, namely,
|
2. Honor G5091 thy G4675 father G3962 and G2532 mother G3384 ; which G3748 is G2076 the first G4413 commandment G1785 with G1722 promise G1860 ;
|
|
3. "that it may go well with you and that you will live a long time on the earth."
|
3. That G2443 it may be G1096 well G2095 with thee G4671 , and G2532 thou mayest G2071 live long G3118 on G1909 the G3588 earth G1093 .

|
|
5. Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart as to Christ,
|
5. Servants G1401 , be obedient G5219 to them that are your masters G2962 according G2596 to the flesh G4561 , with G3326 fear G5401 and G2532 trembling G5156 , in G1722 singleness G572 of your G5216 heart G2588 , as G5613 unto Christ G5547 ;
|
|
6. not like those who do their work only when someone is watching� as people-pleasers� but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart.
|
6. Not G3361 with G2596 eyeservice G3787 , as G5613 menpleasers G441 ; but G235 as G5613 the servants G1401 of Christ G5547 , doing G4160 the G3588 will G2307 of God G2316 from G1537 the heart G5590 ;
|
|
7. Obey with enthusiasm, as though serving the Lord and not people,
|
7. With G3326 good will G2133 doing service G1398 , as G5613 to the G3588 Lord G2962 , and G2532 not G3756 to men G444 :
|
|
8. because you know that each person, whether slave or free, if he does something good, this will be rewarded by the Lord.
|
8. Knowing G1492 that G3754 whatsoever G3739 G5100 G1437 good thing G18 any man G1538 doeth G4160 , the same G5124 shall he receive G2865 of G3844 the G3588 Lord G2962 , whether G1535 he be bond G1401 or G1535 free G1658 .
|
|
9. Masters, treat your slaves the same way, giving up the use of threats, because you know that both you and they have the same master in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
|
9. And G2532 , ye masters G2962 , do G4160 the G3588 same things G846 unto G4314 them G846 , forbearing G447 threatening G547 : knowing G1492 that G3754 your G5216 Master G2962 also G2532 is G2076 in G1722 heaven G3772 ; neither G2532 G3756 is G2076 there respect of persons G4382 with G3844 him G846 .
|
|

|
10. Finally G3063 , my G3450 brethren G80 , be strong G1743 in G1722 the Lord G2962 , and G2532 in G1722 the G3588 power G2904 of his G846 might G2479 .
|

|
|
12. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.
|
12. For G3754 we G2254 wrestle G2076 G3823 not G3756 against G4314 flesh G4561 and G2532 blood G129 , but G235 against G4314 principalities G746 , against G4314 powers G1849 , against G4314 the G3588 rulers G2888 of the G3588 darkness G4655 of this G5127 world G165 , against G4314 spiritual G4152 wickedness G4189 in G1722 high G2032 places.
|
|
13. For this reason, take up the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand your ground on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.
|
13. Wherefore G1223 G5124 take unto G353 you the G3588 whole armor G3833 of God G2316 , that G2443 ye may be able G1410 to withstand G436 in G1722 the G3588 evil G4190 day G2250 , and G2532 having done G2716 all G537 , to stand G2476 .
|
|
14. Stand firm therefore, by fastening the belt of truth around your waist, by putting on the breastplate of righteousness,
|
14. Stand G2476 therefore G3767 , having your G5216 loins G3751 girt about G4024 with G1722 truth G225 , and G2532 having on G1746 the G3588 breastplate G2382 of righteousness G1343 ;

|
15. And G2532 your feet G4228 shod G5265 with G1722 the preparation G2091 of the G3588 gospel G2098 of peace G1515 ;
|
|
16. and in all of this, by taking up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
|
16. Above G1909 all G3956 , taking G353 the G3588 shield G2375 of faith G4102 , wherewith G1722 G3739 ye shall be able G1410 to quench G4570 all G3956 the G3588 fiery G4448 darts G956 of the G3588 wicked G4190 .

|
|
19. Pray for me also, that I may be given the message when I begin to speak� that I may confidently make known the mystery of the gospel,
|
19. And G2532 for G5228 me G1700 , that G2443 utterance G3056 may be given G1325 unto me G3427 , that I G1722 may open G457 my G3450 mouth G4750 boldly G1722 G3954 , to make known G1107 the G3588 mystery G3466 of the G3588 gospel G2098 ,
