1Children, you belong to the Lord, and you do the right thing when you obey your parents. The first commandment with a promise says,Slaves and masters
5Slaves, you must obey your earthly masters. Show them great respect and be as loyal to them as you are to Christ.The fight against evil
10Finally, let the mighty strength of the Lord make you strong.
11Put on all the armour that God gives, so you can defend yourself against the devil's tricks.
12We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world.
13So put on all the armour that God gives. Then when that evil day comes, you will be able to defend yourself. And when the battle is over, you will still be standing firm.
14Be ready! Let the truth be like a belt around your waist, and let God's justice protect you like armour.
18Never stop praying, especially for others. Always pray by the power of the Spirit. Stay alert and keep praying for God's people.
19Pray that I will be given the message to speak and that I may fearlessly explain the mystery about the good news.
20I was sent to do this work, and that's the reason I am in jail. So pray that I will be brave and will speak as I should.
Final greetings21-22I want you to know how I am getting along and what I am doing. That's why I am sending Tychicus to you. He is a dear friend, as well as a faithful servant of the Lord. He will tell you how I am doing, and he will cheer you up.
23I pray that God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will give peace, love, and faith to every follower!
24May God be kind to everyone who keeps on loving our Lord Jesus Christ.
