Ephesians 6

King James Version KJV

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

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

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

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;

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

19 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 bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, 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, shall make known to you all things:

22 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 be 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. [To the Ephesians written from Rome, by Tychicus.]

Lexham English Bible LEB

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

2 "Honor your father and mother" (which is the first commandment with a promise),

3 "in order that it may be well with you, and you may {live a long time} on the earth."

4 And fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ,

6 not {while being watched}, as people pleasers, but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart,

7 serving with goodwill as to the Lord and not to people,

8 [because you] know that each one of you, whatever good he should do, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.

9 And masters, do the same [things] to them, giving up threats, knowing that both their Lord and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

10 Finally, become strong in the Lord and in the might of his strength.

11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil,

12 because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [forces] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].

13 Because of this, take up the full armor of God, in order that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, girding your waist with truth, and putting on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 and binding [shoes] under your feet with the preparation of the good news of peace,

16 in everything taking up the shield of faith, with which you are able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one,

17 and receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

18 with all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and to this [end] being alert with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

19 and for me, that a word may be given to me at the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

20 for the sake of which I am an ambassador in chains, that {in them} I may speak freely, as it is necessary for me to speak.

21 Now, so that you also may know {my circumstances}, what I am doing, Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all [things],

22 whom I have sent to you for this very [reason], that you may know {our circumstances}, and he may encourage your hearts.

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

24 Grace [be] with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility.
