Armor of God, put it on!

Eph. 6 is most well known for the Armor of God. But like Eph. 5, it also has some good stuff prior to that earlier in the chapter.

In vs. 5-9 Paul gives a radical departure in slave to master relations. In a time when slaves were considered property and not really close to being people, Paul calls on slaves to honor their masters and be obedient all the time, even when the master is not there. But, more importantly, Paul calls on the masters to treat their slaves as equals, telling them that Christ sees no partiality...vs 9 '...knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

More to come on this soon...
