Ephesians 6

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

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

2 “Honor your father and 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 you, and you may live long on the earth.”

that well with you it may be and you will be long-lived upon the earth.

4 You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction 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 Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to 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 in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

not with eye-service as men-pleasers but as 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,

with good will rendering service as to the Lord and not to men,

8 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound 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 You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality 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 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

(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 whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles 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 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (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 Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, 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 the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, 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 having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace,

and having shod the feet with [the] readiness of the gospel of peace;

16 above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil 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 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

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

18 with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests 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 Pray for me, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

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 in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, 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 that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things.

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 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state and that he may comfort 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 be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
