Ephesians 6
1. Children, obey * your parents in the Lord: for this is * right.
2. Honour * thy father and mother; (which is * the first commandment with promise;)
3. That it may be * well with thee, and thou mayest * live long on the earth.
4. And, ye fathers, provoke * not your children to wrath * : but bring * them up * in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
5. Servants, be obedient * to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6. Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing * the will of God from the heart;
7. With good will doing service * , as to the Lord, and not to men:
8. Knowing * that whatsoever good thing any man doeth * , the same shall he receive * of the Lord,whether he be bond or free.
9. And, ye masters, do * the same things unto them, forbearing * threatening: knowing * that your Master also is * in heaven; neither is there * respect of persons with him.
10. Finally, my brethren, be strong * in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11. Put on * the whole armour of God,that ye may be able * to stand * against the wiles of the devil.
12. For we wrestle not against * flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13. Wherefore take unto you * the whole armour of God, that ye may be able * to withstand * in the evil day, and having done * all, to stand * .
14. Stand * therefore, having * your loins girt about * with truth, and having on * the breastplate of righteousness;
15. And your feet shod * with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16. Above all, taking * the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able * to quench * all the fiery * darts of the wicked.
17. And take * the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is * the word of God:
18. Praying * always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching * thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19. And for me, that utterance may be given * unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known * the mystery of the gospel,
20. For which I am an ambassador * in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly * , as I ought * to speak * .
21. But that ye also may know * my affairs, and how I do * , Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known * to you all things:
22. Whom I have sent * unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know * our affairs, and that he might comfort * your hearts.
23. Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24. Grace be with all them that love * our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. <<To the Ephesians written * from Rome, by Tychicus.>>
