-
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which ye show toward all the saints,
-
in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;
-
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,
-
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,
-
for ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
-
proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;
-
Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
-
speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
-
Wives, be in subjection unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
-
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
-
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.
-
with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men:
-
knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
-
Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
-
But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
-
Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
