trying to learn<n id="1" /> what is pleasing to the Lord.

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">Wives, submit<n id="2" /> to your husbands as to the Lord,

In him<n id="1" /> the whole building,<n id="2" /> being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

This was according to<n id="1" /> the eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

for you were at one time darkness, but now you are<n id="1" /> light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light &#8211;

<p class="bodytext">Children,<n id="1" /> obey your parents in the Lord<n id="2" /> for this is right.

Obey<n id="1" /> with enthusiasm, as though serving the Lord<n id="2" /> and not people,

<t /><p class="bodytext">Finally, be strengthened in the Lord and in the strength of his power.

<t /><p class="bodytext">I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord,<n id="1" /> urge you to live<n id="2" /> worthily of the calling with which you have been called,<n id="3" />

speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music<n id="1" /> in<n id="2" /> your hearts to the Lord,

<t /><p class="bodytext">For this reason,<n id="1" /> because I<n id="2" /> have heard<n id="3" /> of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love<n id="4" /> for all the saints,

<t /><p class="bodytext">So I say this, and insist<n id="1" /> in the Lord, that you no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility<n id="2" /> of their thinking.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Tychicus, my<n id="1" /> dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make everything known to you, so that you too may know about my circumstances,<n id="2" /> how I am doing.
