Ephesians 6:1-13

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.
