6 Not serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men, but, as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart,6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

10 Finally, brethren, be strengthened in the Lord, and in the might of his power.10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil.11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.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 in high places.

17 And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God).17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

20 For which I am an ambassador in a chain, so that therein I may be bold to speak according as I ought.20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 But that you also may know the things that concern me, and what I am doing, Tychicus, my dearest brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things: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 to you for this same purpose, that you may know the things concerning us, and that he may comfort your hearts.22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
