Ephesians Chapter 6

The Darby Bible

   1: Children, obey your parents in [the] Lord, for this is just.
   2: Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise,
   3: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived on the earth.
   4: And [ye] fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in [the] discipline and admonition of [the] Lord.
   5: 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 bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from [the] soul,
   7: serving with good will as to the Lord, and not to men;
   8: knowing that whatever good each shall do, this he shall receive of [the] Lord, whether bond or free.
   9: 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: For the rest, brethren, be strong in [the] Lord, and in the might of his strength.
   11: Put on the panoply of God, that ye may be able to stand against the artifices of the devil:
   12: 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.
   13: 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 girt about your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
   15: and shod your feet with [the] preparation of the glad tidings of peace:
   16: 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: Have also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's word;
   18: 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 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 ambassador [bound] with a chain, that I may be bold in it as I ought to speak.
   21: 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 this very thing, that ye may know of our affairs and that he may encourage your hearts.
   23: Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
   24: Grace with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption.
