Ephesians


6:1
 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.


6:2
 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;


6:3
 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.


6:4
 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.


6:5
 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;


6:6
 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;


6:7
 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:


6:8
 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.


6:9
 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.


6:10
 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.


6:11
 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.


6:12
 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.


6:13
 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.


6:14
 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;


6:15
 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;


6:16
 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.


6:17
 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:


6:18
 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;


6:19
 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,


6:20
 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.


6:21
 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:


6:22
 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.


6:23
 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.


6:24
 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
