7. rendering service with pleasure, as to the Master, and not to men,
8. knowing that whatever good anyone does, he shall receive the same from the Master, whether he is slave or free.
9. And, masters, do the same to them, refrain from threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in the heavens, and there is no partiality with Him.
10. For the rest, my brothers, be strong in the Master and in the mightiness of His strength.
11. Put on the complete armour of Elohim, for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil.
12. Because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies.
13. Because of this, take up the complete armour of Elohim, so that you have power to withstand in the wicked day, and having done all, to stand.
14. Stand, then, having girded your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15. and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;
16. above all, having taken up the shield of belief with which you shall have power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one.
