Paul now concludes his letter further instructing the church at Ephesus how to live Godly lives. "Children obey your parents... honour your father and mother... Father don't exasperate your children but teach them about Jesus... slaves obey your masters... doing the will of God from your heart... serving as if you were serving the Lord... and masters treat your slaves knowing God is watching". Finally Paul exhorts the church to be spiritually prepared for life. "Be strong in the Lord... put on the full armour of God... for our battle isn't just against flesh and blood... stand firm with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, feet shod with the gospel of peace... shield of faith... helmet of salvation, sword of the Spirit... be alert praying always... peace, love, faith and grace to all".
