Children and Parents
(Colossians 3:18–21)

1Ye children, obey youre elders in the LORDE, for that is righte. 2Honoure thy father and thy mother (That is the first commaundement, that hath eny promes) 3that thou mayest prospere, and lyue longe vpon earth.

4And ye fathers, prouoke not youre children vnto wrath, but brynge the vp in the nourtoure and informacion of the LORDE.

Serving with Honor
(Colossians 3:22–25; 1 Timothy 6:1–2)

5Ye seruauntes, obey youre bodely masters, with feare and tremblynge, in synglenes of youre hert, euen as vnto Christ, 6not with seruyce onely in the eye sighte, as men pleasers: but as the seruauntes off Christ, doynge the wyll off God from the hert 7with good wyll. Thynke that ye serue the LORDE and not me: 8and be sure, that what good soeuer a man doth, he shal reaceaue it agayne of the LORDE, whether he be bonde or fre.

9And ye masters, do euen the same vnto the, puttynge awaye threatenynges, and knowe that euen youre master also is in heauen, nether is there eny respecte of personnes with him.

The Full Armor of God

10Fynally my brethren, be stronge in the LORDE, and in the power of his mighte: 11put on the armor of God, that ye maye stonde stedfast agaynst the craftie assautes off the deuell. 12For we wrestle not agaynst flesh and bloude, but agaynst rule, agaynst power namely, agaynst the rulers of the worlde, of the darknesse of this worlde, agaynst ye spretes of wickednes vnder the heauen. 13For this cause take ye the armoure of God, yt ye maye be able to resiste in the euell daye, and stonde perfecte in all thinges. 14Stonde therfore, and youre loynes gyrde aboute with the trueth, hauynge on the brest plate of righteousnes, 15and shod vpo yor fete with the gospell of peace, that ye maye be prepared: 16Aboue all thinges take holde of the shylde of faith, wherwith ye maye quenche all the fyrie dartes of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of saluacion, & the swerde of the sprete, which is the worde of God.

18And praye allwayes with all maner of prayer and supplicacion in the sprete, and watch there vnto with all instaunce and supplicacion for all sayntes 19and for me, that the worde maye be geuen me, that I maye open my mouth boldly, to vtter the secretes of the Gospell, 20wherof I am a messaunger in bondes, that I maye speake therin frely, as it becommeth me to speake.

Final Greetings
(Philippians 4:21–23; 2 Timothy 4:19–22)

21But that ye maye also knowe, what case I am in, and what I do, Tichicus my deare brother and faithfull mynister in the LORDE, shal shewe you all: 22whom I haue sent vnto you for the same cause, that ye mighte knowe what case I stonde in, and that he mighte comforte youre hertes.

23Peace be vnto the brethre, and loue with faith, from God the father, & from the LORDE Iesu Christ. 24Grace be with all them that loue oure LORDE Iesus Christ vnfaynedly. Amen.
