aChildren, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 bHonour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 bThat it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 4 And, cye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: dbut ebring them up in the nurture and fadmonition of the Lord.

5 gServants, be obedient to them that are your masters ggaccording to the flesh, hwith fear and trembling, giin singleness of your heart, iias unto Christ; 6 gNot with eyeservice, as jmenpleasers; but as kthe servants of Christ, doing lthe will of God from the heart; 7 mWith good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: 8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, nthe same shall he receive of the Lord, owhether he be bond or free. 9 And, pye masters, do the same things unto them, ||qforbearing threatening: knowing that ||kryour Master also is in heaven; sneither is there respect of persons with him.

10 Finally, my brethren, tbe strong in the Lord, and tin the power of his might. 11 uPut on vthe whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against wthe wiles of the devil. 12 For xwe wrestle not against †flesh and blood, but against yprincipalities, against ypowers, against zthe rulers of the darkness aof this world, against ||spiritual wickedness in ||high places.
