Ephesians 6

1 The duty of children towards their parents, 5 of servants towards their masters. 10 Our life is a warfare, 12 not only against flesh and blood, but also spiritual enemies. 13 The complete armour of a Christian, 18 and how it ought to be used. 21 Tychicus is commended.

 6:1 Children 5043, obey 5219 your parents 1118 in the Lord 2962, for this 3778 is right 1342.

 6:2 HONOR 5091 YOUR FATHER 3962 AND MOTHER 3384 (which 3748 is the first 4413 commandment 1785 with a promise 1860),

 6:3 SO 2443 THAT IT MAY BE WELL 2095 WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE 3118 LONG 3118 ON THE EARTH 1093.

 6:4 ¶ Fathers 3962, do not provoke 3949 your children 5043 to anger 3949, but bring 1625 them up in the discipline 3809 and instruction 3559 of the Lord 2962.

 6:5 ¶ Slaves 1401, be obedient 5219 to those 3588 who are your masters 2962 according 2596 to the flesh 4561, with fear 5401 and trembling 5156, in the sincerity 572 of your heart 2588, as to Christ 5547;

 6:6 not by way 2596 of eyeservice 3787, as men-pleasers 441, but as slaves 1401 of Christ 5547, doing 4160 the will 2307 of God 2316 from the heart 5590.

 6:7 With good 2133 will 2133 render 1398 service 1398, as to the Lord 2962, and not to men 444,

 6:8 knowing 3609a that whatever 1437 5100 good 18 thing 18 each 1538 one 1538 does 4160, this 3778 he will receive 2865 back 2865 from the Lord 2962, whether 1535a slave 1401 or 1535a free 1658.

 6:9 ¶ And masters 2962, do 4160 the same 846 things 846 to them, and give 447 up threatening 547, knowing 3609a that both 2532 their Master 2962 and yours 4771 is in heaven 3772, and there is no 3756 partiality 4382 with Him.

 6:10 ¶ Finally 3062, be strong 1743 in the Lord 2962 and in the strength 2904 of His might 2479.

 6:11 Put 1746a on the full 3833 armor 3833 of God 2316, so 4314 that you will be able 1410 to stand 2476 firm 2476 against 4314 the schemes 3180 of the devil 1228.

 6:12 For our struggle 3823 is not against 4314 flesh 4561 and blood 129, but against 4314 the rulers 746, against 4314 the powers 1849, against 4314 the world 2888 forces 2888 of this 3778 darkness 4655, against 4314 the spiritual 4152 [forces] of wickedness 4189 in the heavenly 2032 [places].

 6:13 Therefore 1223 3778, take 353 up the full 3833 armor 3833 of God 2316, so 2443 that you will be able 1410 to resist 436 in the evil 4190 day 2250, and having done 2716 everything 537a, to stand 2476 firm 2476.

 6:14 Stand 2476 firm 2476 therefore 3767, HAVING GIRDED 4024 YOUR LOINS 3751 WITH TRUTH 225, and HAVING PUT 1746a ON THE BREASTPLATE 2382 OF RIGHTEOUSNESS 1343,

 6:15 and having shod 5265 YOUR FEET 4228 WITH THE PREPARATION 2091 OF THE GOSPEL 2098 OF PEACE 1515;

 6:16 in addition to all 3956, taking 353 up the shield 2375 of faith 4102 with which 3739 you will be able 1410 to extinguish 4570 all 3956 the flaming 4448 arrows 956b of the evil 4190 [one].

 6:17 And take 1209 THE HELMET 4030 OF SALVATION 4992, and the sword 3162 of the Spirit 4151, which 3739 is the word 4487 of God 2316.

 6:18 ¶ With all 3956 prayer 4335 and petition 1162 pray 4336 at all 3956 times 2540 in the Spirit 4151, and with this 846 in view 1519, be on the alert 69 with all 3956 perseverance 4343 and petition 1162 for all 3956 the saints 40,

 6:19 and [pray] on my behalf 5228, that utterance 3056 may be given 1325 to me in the opening 457 of my mouth 4750, to make 1107 known 1107 with boldness 3954 the mystery 3466 of the gospel 2098,

 6:20 for which 3739 I am 4243 an ambassador 4243 in chains 254; that in [proclaiming] it I may speak 3955 boldly 3955, as I ought 1163 to speak 2980.

 6:21 ¶ But that you also 2532 may know 3609a about 2596 my circumstances 3588 2596, how 5101 I am doing 4238, Tychicus 5190, the beloved 27 brother 80 and faithful 4103 minister 1249 in the Lord 2962, will make 1107 everything 3956 known 1107 to you.

 6:22 I have sent 3992 him to you for this 3778 very 846 purpose, so 2443 that you may know 1097 about 4012 us, and that he may comfort 3870 your hearts 2588.

 6:23 ¶ Peace 1515 be to the brethren 80, and love 26 with faith 4102, from God 2316 the Father 3962 and the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.

 6:24 Grace 5485 be with all 3956 those 3588 who love 25 our Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 with incorruptible 861 [love].
