1 Children, you must obey your parents in authority, for this is just.2 "Honor your father and mother", which is the first commandment with a promise,3 "that it would be well with you, and that you may be a long time upon the earth."4 And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but raise them in education and admonition of authority.5 Bondmen, obey fleshly masters with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as with Christ.6 Not with lip-service as men-pleasers, but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of Yahweh from the soul,7 with good will doing service as if to the Prince and not to men,8 knowing that whatever good each may have done, this he will recover for himself as appropriate, whether bondman or free.9 And masters, these same things you must do towards them, giving up threat of punishment, knowing also that the Master of them and of you is in the heavens, and there is no respect of the stature of persons before Him.10 For what remains, be empowered in the Prince, and in the might of His strength.11 Put on the full armor of Yahweh, for you to be able to stand against the methods of the False Accuser,12 because for us the struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against realms, against authorities, against the rulers of the order of this darkness, against the spiritual things of wickedness among the heavenly places.13 Because of this take up the full armor of Yahweh, in order that you may be able to make a stand in the evil day, even to stand, all things being accomplished.14 Therefore stand, girding your loins with the truth, and putting on the breastplate of justice,15 and binding the feet in preparation of the good message of peace;16 in all taking up the shield of the faith, with which you will be able to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked.17 And receive the helmet of deliverance, and the sword of the Spirit, which is Yahweh's word.18 Through all prayer and entreaty worshiping at all times in Spirit, and for this very thing being watchful with all persistence and entreaty on behalf of all of the saints;19 and on my behalf in order that speech may be given to me in the opening of my mouth with freespokenness to make known the mystery of the good message,20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that in them I may speak freely as it is necessary for me to speak.21 Now in order that you may also know of the things concerning me, what I am doing, Tuchikos, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Prince, will make all things known to you,22 whom I have sent to you for this very thing, in order that you would know the things concerning us and that would encourage your hearts.23 Peace to the brethren, and love with faith from Father Yahweh, even Prince Yahshua Christ.24 Favor is with all of those loving our Prince, Yahshua Christ, with incorruption.
