Ephesians
6
Eph
6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Eph
6:2 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first
commandment with a promise:
Eph
6:3 "that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the
earth."
Eph
6:4 You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture
them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Eph
6:5 Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are
your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart,
as to Christ;
Eph
6:6 not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men
pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the
heart;
Eph
6:7 with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men;
Eph
6:8 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive
the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
Eph
6:9 You masters, do the same things to them, and give up
threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in
heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
Eph
6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his
might.
Eph
6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
Eph
6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against
the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of
the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of
wickedness in the heavenly places.
Eph
6:13 Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able
to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.
Eph
6:14 Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled
around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of
righteousness,
Eph
6:15 and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good
News of peace;
Eph
6:16 above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will
be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
Eph
6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the spoken word of God;
Eph
6:18 with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the
Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and
requests for all the saints:
Eph
6:19 on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my
mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
Eph
6:20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak
boldly, as I ought to speak.
Eph
6:21 But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing,
Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will
make known to you all things;
Eph
6:22 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may
know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.
Eph
6:23 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Eph
6:24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with
incorruptible love. Amen.
