6:1  Sons, obey ye to your father and mother, in the Lord; for this thing is rightful [for this thing is just, or rightful].
6:2  Honour thou thy father and mother, that is the first commandment in [the] promise;
6:3  that it be well to thee, and that thou be long living on the earth.
6:4  And, [ye] fathers, do not ye provoke your sons to wrath; but nourish ye them in the teaching and chastising of the Lord [but nourish them in the discipline and correction, or chastising, of the Lord].
6:5  Servants, obey ye to fleshly lords with dread and trembling, in simpleness of your heart, as to Christ;
6:6  not serving at the eye [not serving at eye], as pleasing to men, but as servants of Christ; doing the will of God by discretion,
6:7  with good will serving as to the Lord, and not as to men [and not to men];
6:8  witting that each man, whatever good thing he shall do, he shall receive this of the Lord [this he shall receive of the Lord], whether servant, whether free man.
6:9  And, ye lords, do the same things to them, forgiving menacings [forgiving menaces]; witting that both their Lord and yours is in heavens, and the taking of persons is not with God.
6:10  Here afterward, brethren, be ye comforted in the Lord, and in the might of his virtue.
6:11  Clothe you with the armour of God, that ye be able to stand against the ambushings [the ambushings, or assailings,] of the devil.
6:12  For why striving is not to us against flesh and blood [For striving, or battle, is not to us against flesh and blood], but against [the] princes and potentates, against governors of the world of these darknesses, against spiritual things of wickedness, in heavenly things.
6:13  Therefore take ye the armour of God, that ye be able to against-stand in the evil day; and in all things stand perfect.
6:14  Therefore stand ye, and be girded about your loins in soothfastness [Therefore stand ye, girded about your loins in soothfastness], and clothed with the habergeon of rightwiseness,
6:15  and your feet shod in making ready of the gospel of peace.
6:16  In all things take ye the shield of faith, in which ye be able to quench all the fiery darts of him that is most wicked.
6:17  And take ye the helmet of health, and the sword of the Ghost, that is, the word of God.
6:18  By all prayer and beseeching pray ye all time in Spirit, and in him waking in all busyness, and beseeching for all holy men, [By all prayer and beseeching praying all time in Spirit, and in him waking in all busyness, and beseeching for all saints,]
6:19  and for me; that word be given to me in opening of my mouth, with trust to make known the mystery of the gospel,
6:20  for which I am set in message in a chain [for which I am set in legacy, or message, in this chain]; so that in it I be hardy to speak, as it behooveth me [to speak out].
6:21  And [that] ye know, what things be about me, what I do, Tychicus, my most dear brother, and true minister in the Lord, shall make all things known to you;
6:22  whom I sent to you for this same thing, that ye know what things be about us, and that he comfort your hearts.
6:23  Peace to brethren, and charity, with faith of God our Father, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
6:24  Grace with all men that love our Lord Jesus Christ in uncorruption. Amen, that is, So be it. [Grace with all that love our Lord Jesus in uncorruption. Amen.]
