Children: obey your parents, that you long may live,
Fathers: provoke not a child, the Lord's nuture give,
Servants: as to the Lord, obey your Masters true,
Masters: threaten not, for you have a Master too.
Brethren, be strong in the Lord, His whole armour wear,
It's not men we fight, but powers of the air.
Stand and let your belt be truth, breastplate righteous hearts,
Wear gospel shoes, take faith's shield block out evil darts.
Don salvation's helmet, hold the sword of God's Word,
Pray always for all, and me, so the gospel's heard.
I send Tychicus, to bear news and comfort you,
Peace, love, and faith; grace to all who love Jesus too.
