Ephesians 6

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

you who [are] Children, do obey the parents of you in [the] Lord; this for is right.

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

do honor the Father of you and mother, which is [the] commandment first with a promise,

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

that well with you it may be and you will be long-lived upon 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 who [are] fathers, not do provoke the children of you, but do bring up them in [the] discipline 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;

you who [are] slaves, do obey the according to flesh masters with fear and trembling in sincerity of the heart of you 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 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 rendering 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 each one (what *ko) (maybe *NK+o) whatever he shall do good this he will receive [back] from (the *k) Lord whether slave 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 who [are] masters, the [same things] them do perform toward them giving up the threatening, knowing that (also *no) of them and of you the master is in [the] heavens and partiality not there is with Him.

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

(Henceforth *N+kO) (brothers of mine *K) do be empowered in [the] Lord and in the strength of the might of Him.

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

do put on the complete armor of God for to be able you to stand against the schemes 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)

because not is to us the wrestling against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of the darkness (age *K) this, against the spiritual [forces] of evil in the heavenly realms. (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.

Because of this do take up the complete armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand in the day evil and all things having done to stand.

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

do stand therefore having girded the loins of you with truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness

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

and having shod the feet with [the] readiness 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.

(besides *N+kO) all having taken up the shield of faith with which you will be able all the arrows of the evil one which enflamed to quench;

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

And the helmet of salvation (do take *NK+O) and the sword of the Spirit which is declaration 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;

through all [times] prayer and supplication praying in every season in [the] Spirit and unto (this *k) watching with all perseverance and with 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 also for me, that to me (may be given *N+kO) divine utterance in [the] opening of the mouth of mine with boldness 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 a chain, that in it I may be bold as it behooves me 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;

That now may know also you yourselves the [things] concerning me myself, what I am doing, all things will make known to you Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful servant in [the] Lord,

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 this very purpose that you may know the [things] concerning us, and he may encourage the hearts of you.

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

Peace 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 those loving the Lord of us Jesus Christ in incorruptibility (to Ephesian it was written from Rome through Tychicus. *K)
