Ephesians 6

1ChildrenG5043, obeyG5219 your parentsG1118 in the LordG2962: for this isG1510 rightG1342. 2HonorG5091 thy fatherG3962 and motherG3384 (which isG1510 the firstG4413 commandmentG1785 with promiseG1860), 3that it may beG1510 well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earthG1093. 4And, ye fathersG3962, provoke not your childrenG5043 to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the LordG2962.

5ServantsG1401, be obedientG5219 unto them that accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561 are your mastersG2962, with fearG5401 and trembling, in singleness of your heartG2588, as unto ChristG5547; 6not in the way of eyeserviceG3787, as men-pleasers; but as servantsG1401 of ChristG5547, doing the will of GodG2316 from the heart; 7with good will doing service, as unto the LordG2962, and not unto menG444: 8knowing that whatsoever goodG18 thingG18 each oneG5100 doeth, the same shall he receiveG2865 again from the LordG2962, whether he be bond or freeG1658. 9And, ye mastersG2962, do the sameG846 things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that he who isG1510 both their MasterG2962 and yours isG1510 in heavenG3772, and there isG1510 no respect of persons with him.

10Finally, be strong in the LordG2962, and in the strengthG2479 of his might. 11PutG1746 on the whole armorG3833 of GodG2316, that ye may be ableG1410 to standG2476 against the wiles of the devilG1228. 12For our wrestling isG1510 not against fleshG4561 and bloodG129, but against the principalities, against the powersG1849, against the world-rulers of this darknessG4655, against the spiritualG4152 hosts of wickednessG4189 in the heavenlyG2032 places. 13Wherefore takeG353 up the whole armorG3833 of GodG2316, that ye may be ableG1410 to withstand in the evilG4190 dayG2250, and, having done all, to standG2476. 14StandG2476 thereforeG3767, having girdedG4024 your loinsG3751 with truthG225, and having putG1746 on the breastplateG2382 of righteousnessG1343, 15and having shod your feetG4228 with the preparation of the gospelG2098 of peaceG1515; 16withal taking up the shield of faithG4102, wherewith ye shall be ableG1410 to quenchG4570 all the fiery darts of the evilG4190 oneG3739. 17And takeG1209 the helmetG4030 of salvation, and the swordG3162 of the SpiritG4151, which isG1510 the word of GodG2316: 18with all prayerG4335 and supplicationG1162 prayingG4336 at all seasonsG2540 in the SpiritG4151, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplicationG1162 for all the saintsG40, 19and on my behalfG5228, that utterance may be givenG1325 unto me in opening my mouthG4750, to makeG1107 known with boldnessG3954 the mysteryG3466 of the gospelG2098, 20for which I am an ambassador in chainsG254; that in it I may speakG2980 boldlyG3955, as I oughtG1163 to speakG2980.

21But that ye alsoG2532 may know my affairs, how I do, TychicusG5190, the belovedG27 brotherG80 and faithfulG4103 ministerG1249 in the LordG2962, shall makeG1107 known to you all thingsG3956: 22whom I have sentG3992 unto you for this very purpose, that ye may knowG1097 our state, and that he may comfortG3870 your heartsG2588.

23PeaceG1515 be to the brethren, and loveG26 with faithG4102, from GodG2316 the FatherG3962 and the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 24GraceG5485 be with all them that loveG25 our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 witha loveG25incorruptible.
