| |: If you [[Covet|covet]] your neighbor's goods you violate the [[Keep the Commandments|commandments]] of God and [[Jesus]] said if you want [[Eternal life]] you should not be doing that.
| |
| : God gave man [[Rights|rights]]. He does not want man to be in [[Bondage|bondage]] but to have free-dominion. Man keeps loosing his freedom because he is [[Slothful|slothful]] in the ways of God and [[Covetous Practices|covetous]] of his neighbor's good. [[Repent]]ance is the reverse of that.
| |
| : If you want to have the Holy Spirit's protections and blessings there for you then you must be doer of the word... sacrificing and praying and [[Daily ministration|caring daily]] for others so that they may be secure in the knowledge of the truth so that they may be [[Doers of the Word]].

| |
| | We are in a war against our own high-mindedness and vanity. We are often quick to blame others for our own [[wantonness]].

| |
| | Many [[modern Christians]] are in need of [[repent]]ance.

| '''Chapter 6'''
| |
| | |
| 1 ¶ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
| |
| 2 Honour<Ref>Honour meant care for and support. Not like the [[Pharisees]] did with the [[Corban]] that made the word of God to non effect.</Ref> thy father and mother;<Ref> These are not the [[Fathers]] of the earth spoken of by [[Christ]].</Ref> (which is the first commandment with promise;)
| |
| 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
| |
| 4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
| |
| 5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
| |
| 6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;<Ref>Paul is calling us to be real doers of the word. We cannot say honestly that we believe and not show the [[Fruit|fruit]] of [[Repent]]ance.</Ref>
| |
| 7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
| |
| 8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
| |
| 9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 10 ¶ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
| |
| 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

| : Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness <4189> in high places</Ref> in high places.
| |
| | |
| 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
| |
| 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
| |
| 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
| |
| 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
| |
| 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
| |
| 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
| |
| | |
| 19 ¶ And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
| |
| 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
| |
| 21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
| |
| 22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
| |
| 23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
| |
| 24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. <<To the Ephesians written from Rome, by Tychicus.>>
