Ephesians 6

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

Children, obey your parents in our Lord; for this is right.

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

And the first commandment with promise, is this: Honor thy father and thy mother;

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 that thy life may be prolonged 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 parents, anger not your children; but train them up in the discipline and doctrine of our 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 your masters after the flesh, with fear, and with trepidation, and with simplicity of heart, as unto the Messiah.

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

Not in the sight of the eye, as if ye were pleasing men; but as the servants of the Messiah, who are doing the will of God.

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

And serve them with your whole heart, in love, as if serving our Lord and not 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 whatever good thing a man may do, the same will be recompensed to him by our Lord, whether he be a servant or a free man.

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.

Also ye masters, do ye so to your servants. Forgive them a fault; because ye know, that ye have a master in heaven; and there is no 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 our Lord, and; in the energy of his power:

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

And put ye on; the whole armor of God, so that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Accuser.

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 our conflict is not with flesh and blood, but with principalities, and with those in authority, and with the possessors of this dark world, and with the evil spirits that are beneath heaven. (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.

Therefore put ye on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to meet the evil one; and, being in all respects prepared, may stand firm.

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

Stand up therefore, and gird your loins with truth; and put on the breastplate of righteousness;

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

and defend your feet 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;

And herewith take to you the confidence of faith, by which ye will have power to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.

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

And put on the helmet of rescue; and take hold of 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

And pray ye, with all prayers and supplications, in spirit, at all times: and in prayer be watchful, at all seasons, praying constantly, and interceding for all the 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 also for me; that language may be given me, in the opening of my mouth; so that I may boldly proclaim 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.

of which I am a messenger in chains; that I may utter it boldly, as I ought to utter it.

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,

And that ye also may know my affairs, and what I am doing, lo, Tychicus, a beloved brother, and a faithful minister in our Lord, will acquaint you;

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 to you for this purpose, that ye might know what is going on with me, and that your hearts may be comforted.

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

Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

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 who love our Lord Jesus the Messiah without corruptness. Amen.
