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

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

Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise; )

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

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

4 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.

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

5 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.

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 not with eye-service as men-pleasers but as servants of (*k*) Christ doing the will of God from [the] heart

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

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

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

8 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.

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

9 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

12 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 (*k*) (age *K*) this, against the spiritual [forces] of evil in the heavenly realms. (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 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.

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.

14 do stand therefore having girded the loins of you 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 having shod the feet with [the] readiness of the gospel of peace;

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

16 (besides *N(k)O*) 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;

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

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

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

18 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

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

19 and also for me, that to me (may be given *N(k)O*) divine utterance in [the] opening of the mouth of mine with boldness to make known the mystery of the gospel,

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,

20 for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may be bold as it behooves me to speak.

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

21 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,

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:

22 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.

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

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

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

24 Grace [be] with all those loving the Lord of us Jesus Christ in incorruptibility (Amen. to Ephesian it was written from Rome through Tychicus. *K*)

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