of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32
This is a great mystery: but I
speak concerning Christ and the church.
33
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love
his wife even as himself; and the wife
see
that she reverence
her
husband.
CHAPTER 6
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2
Honour thy father and mother; (which
is the first commandment with promise;)
3
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long
on the earth.
4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord.
5
Servants, be obedient to them that are
your
masters according to the
flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6
Not with eyeservice,
as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7
With good
will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man
doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether
he be
bond or free.
9
And, ye masters, do the
same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither
is there respect of persons with him.
10
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11
Put on the whole
armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12
For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.
13
Wherefore take unto you the whole
armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness;
15
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16
Above all,
taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18
Praying
always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance
and supplication for all saints;
19
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open
my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20
For which I am an ambassador in
bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21
But that ye also may know my affairs,
and
how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful
minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
22
Whom I have sent unto you for the
same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and
that
he might comfort your hearts.
23
Peace
be
to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24
Grace
be
with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
