Ephesians  


6 : 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
6 : 2 Honor your father and mother(this is the first commandment with a promise),
6 : 3 that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.
6 : 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger,but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
6 : 5 Bondservants,obey your earthly masterswith fear and trembling,with a sincere heart,as you would Christ,
6 : 6 not by the way of eye-service, aspeople-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
6 : 7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man,
6 : 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord,whether he is a bondservantor is free.
6 : 9 Masters, do the same to them,and stop your threatening, knowing thathe who is both their Masterand yours is in heaven, and thatthere is no partiality with him.
6 : 10 Finally,be strong in the Lord and inthe strength of his might.
6 : 11 Put onthe whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand againstthe schemes of the devil.
6 : 12 Forwe do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but againstthe rulers, against the authorities, againstthe cosmic powers overthis present darkness, againstthe spiritual forces of evilin the heavenly places.
6 : 13 Thereforetake up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand inthe evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
6 : 14 Stand therefore,having fastened on the belt of truth, andhaving put on the breastplate of righteousness,
6 : 15 and,as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
6 : 16 In all circumstances take upthe shield of faith, with which you can extinguish allthe flaming darts ofthe evil one;
6 : 17 and takethe helmet of salvation, andthe sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
6 : 18 prayingat all timesin the Spirit,with all prayer and supplication. To that endkeep alert with all perseverance, makingsupplication for all the saints,
6 : 19 andalso for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouthboldly to proclaimthe mystery of the gospel,
6 : 20 for which Iam an ambassadorin chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
6 : 21 So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing,Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything.
6 : 22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he mayencourage your hearts.
6 : 23 Peace be to the brothers,andlove with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
6 : 24 Grace be with all wholove our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible.
