Ephesians 6:1-13

1Children, obey your parents in [the] Lord, for this is just.

2Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise,

3that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived on the earth.

4And [ye] fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in [the] discipline and admonition of [the] Lord.

5Bondmen, obey masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ;

6not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of 1God from [the] soul,

7serving with good will as to the Lord, and not to men;

8knowing that whatever good each shall do, this he shall receive of [the] Lord, whether bond or free.

9And, masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no acceptance of persons with him.

10For the rest, brethren, be strong in [the] Lord, and in the might of his strength.

11Put on the panoply of 2God, that ye may be able to stand against the artifices of the devil:

12because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual [power] of wickedness in the heavenlies.

13For this reason take [to you] the panoply of 3God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having accomplished all things, to stand.
