In this chapter, I. The apostle proceeds in the exhortation to relative duties which he began in the former, particularly he insists on the duties of children and parents, and of servants and masters, Eph. 6:1–9. II.

Here we have further directions concerning relative duties, in which the apostle is very particular. I. The duty of children to their parents. Come, you children, hearken to me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Here is a general exhortation to constancy in our Christian course, and to encourage in our Christian warfare. Is not our life a warfare? It is so; for we struggle with the common calamities of human life.

Here, I. He desires their prayers for him, Eph. 6:19. Having mentioned supplication for all saints, he puts himself into the number. We must pray for all saints, and particularly for God’s faithful ministers. Brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified.
