Ephesians 6

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

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

2 Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise)

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

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

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

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

And [ye] fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in [the] discipline and admonition of [the] Lord.

5 Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;

Bondmen, obey masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ;

6 Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from [the] soul,

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

serving with good will as to the Lord, and not to men;

8 Knowing that whatever good thing any man doeth, the same will he receive from the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free.

knowing that whatever good each shall do, this he shall receive of [the] Lord, whether bond or free.

9 And, ye masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

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.

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

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

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

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

12 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)

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)

13 Wherefore take to you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

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.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breast-plate of righteousness;

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

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

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

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which ye will be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the wicked.

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.

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

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

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

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;

19 And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

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,

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

for which I am an ambassador [bound] with a chain, that I may be bold in it as I ought to speak.

21 But that ye also may know my affairs, [and] how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things:

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;

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

whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that ye may know of our affairs and that he may encourage your hearts.

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

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

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

Grace with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption.
