Ephesians 6:1-13

1ChildrenG5043, obeyG5219 your parentsG1118 in [the] LordG2962, for this isG1510 justG1342.

2Honour thy fatherG3962 and thy motherG3384, which isG1510 the firstG4413 commandmentG1785 with a promiseG1860,

3that it may beG1510 well with thee, and that thou mayest beG1510 long-lived on the earthG1093.

4And [ye] fathersG3962, do not provoke your childrenG5043 to anger, but bring them up in [the] disciplineG3809 and admonition of [the] LordG2962.

5Bondmen, obeyG5219 mastersG2962 accordingG2596 to fleshG4561, with fearG5401 and trembling, in simplicity of your heartG2588 as to the ChristG5547;

6not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as bondmen of ChristG5547, doing the will of 1GodG2316 from [the] soulG5590,

7servingG1398 with good will as to the LordG2962, and not to menG444;

8knowing that whatever goodG18 each shall do, this he shall receiveG2865 of [the] LordG2962, whether bond or freeG1658.

9And, mastersG2962, do the sameG846 things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your MasterG2962 isG1510 in heavenG3772, and there isG1510 no acceptance of persons with him.

10For the rest, brethren, be strong in [the] LordG2962, and in the might of his strengthG2479.

11PutG1746 on the panoply of 2GodG2316, that ye may be ableG1410 to standG2476 against the artifices of the devilG1228:

12because our struggle isG1510 not against bloodG129 and fleshG4561, but against principalities, against authoritiesG1849, against the universal lords of this darknessG4655, against spiritualG4152 [powerG1849] of wickednessG4189 in the heavenlies.

13For this reason takeG353 [to you] the panoply of 3GodG2316, that ye may be ableG1410 to withstand in the evilG4190 dayG2250, and, having accomplished all thingsG3778, to standG2476.
