Ephesians 6:3-13

KJV

NIV

3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life 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.
4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction 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 unto Christ;
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
9 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.
9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
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.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13 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.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
