Ephesians 6

Family Relationships

11Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 22Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.

43Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but 4bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

55Slaves, be obedient to those who are your 6masters according to the flesh, with 7fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, 8as to Christ; 69not 10by way of eyeservice, as 11men-pleasers, but as 12slaves of Christ, 13doing the will of God from the 14heart. 7With good will 15render service, 16as to the Lord, and not to men, 817knowing that 18whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, 19whether slave or free.

9And masters, do the same things to them, and 20give up threatening, knowing that 21both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is 22no partiality with Him.

The Armor of God

10Finally, 23be strong in the Lord and in 24the strength of His might. 1125Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the 26schemes of the devil. 12For our 27struggle is not against 2829flesh and blood, but 30against the rulers, against the powers, against the 31world forces of this 32darkness, against the 33spiritual forces of wickedness in 34the heavenly places. 13Therefore, take up 35the full armor of God, so that you will be able to 36resist in 37the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14Stand firm therefore, 38having girded your loins with truth, and having 39put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and having 40shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 1641in addition to all, taking up the 42shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the 43flaming arrows of 44the evil one. 17And take 45the helmet of salvation, and the 46sword of the Spirit, which is 47the word of God.

1848With all 49prayer and petition 5051pray at all times 52in the Spirit, and with this in view, 5354be on the alert with all 55perseverance and 56petition for all the saints, 19and 57pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me 58in the opening of my mouth, to make known with 59boldness 60the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an 61ambassador 62in 63chains; that 64in proclaiming it I may speak 65boldly, 66as I ought to speak.

2167But that you also may know about my circumstances, 68how I am doing, 69Tychicus, 70the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you. 227172I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know 73about us, and that he may 74comfort your hearts.

2375Peace be to the brethren, and 76love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ 77with incorruptible love.
