Ephesians 6

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

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

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

Honor your father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

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

That it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.

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

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

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

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;

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

Not with eye-service, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

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

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

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

Knowing that whatever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

9 And, 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.

And, you masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

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

Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

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

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 because 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. (aiōn g165)

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. (aiōn g165)

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

Why take to you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

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

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

15 and shod your feet with [the] preparation of the glad tidings of peace:

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 besides all [these], having taken the shield of faith with which ye will be able to quench all the inflamed darts of the wicked one.

Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 Have also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's word;

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

18 praying at all seasons, with all prayer and supplication in [the] Spirit, and watching unto this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

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 in order that utterance may be given to me in [the] opening of my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the glad tidings,

And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20 for which I am an ambassador [bound] with a chain, that I may be bold in it as I ought to speak.

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

21 But in order that ye also may know what concerns me, how I am getting on, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in [the] Lord, shall make all things known to you;

But that you 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 to you for this very thing, that ye may know of our affairs and that he may encourage your hearts.

Whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that you might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

23 Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

24 Grace with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption.

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