3 “so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger. Instead, raise them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

And you who [are] fathers, not do provoke the children of you, but do bring up them in [the] discipline and admonition of [the] Lord.

5 Slaves, be obedient to your human masters with deep respect and trembling, in the honesty of your heart. Be obedient to them as you would be obedient to Christ.

you who [are] slaves, do obey the according to flesh masters with fear and trembling in sincerity of the heart of you as to Christ.

6 Be obedient not only when your masters are watching in order to please them. Instead, be obedient as slaves of Christ, who do the will of God from your heart.

not with eye-service as men-pleasers but as servants of (*k*) Christ doing the will of God from [the] heart

7 Serve with all your heart, as though you were serving the Lord and not people,

with good will rendering service as to the Lord and not to men,

8 because we know that for whatever good deed each person does, he will receive a reward from the Lord, whether he is slave or free.

knowing that each one (what *ko*) (maybe *NK(o)*) whatever he shall do good this he will receive [back] from (the *k*) Lord whether slave or free.

9 Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them. You know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

And you who [are] masters, the [same things] them do perform toward them giving up the threatening, knowing that (also *no*) of them and of you the master is in [the] heavens and partiality not there is with Him.

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

do put on the complete armor of God for to be able you to stand against the schemes of the devil;

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (aiōn g165)

because not is to us the wrestling against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of the darkness (*k*) (age *K*) this, against the spiritual [forces] of evil in the heavenly realms. (aiōn g165)

13 Therefore put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand in this time of evil, and after you have done everything, to stand firm.

Because of this do take up the complete armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand in the day evil and all things having done to stand.

14 Stand, therefore, after you have put on the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness.

15 Then as shoes for your feet, put on the readiness to proclaim the gospel of peace.

and having shod the feet with [the] readiness of the gospel of peace;

16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, by which you will be able to put out all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

19 And pray for me, that a message might be given to me when I open my mouth. Pray that I might make known with boldness the hidden truth about the gospel.

and also for me, that to me (may be given *N(k)O*) divine utterance in [the] opening of the mouth of mine with boldness to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20 It is for the gospel that I am an ambassador who is kept in chains, so that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may be bold as it behooves me to speak.

21 Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you may know how I am doing.

That now may know also you yourselves the [things] concerning me myself, what I am doing, all things will make known to you Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful servant in [the] Lord,

22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know how we are, and so that he may encourage your hearts.
