Ephesians 6 📜 📕 ↷
Children and Parents
1 CHILDREN, obey your parents in our Lord. For this is just.📜💬📚
2 Honour thy father & thy mother (which is the first commandment in the promise)📜💬📚
3 that it may be well with thee, & thou mayest be long lived upon the earth.📜💬📚
4 And you fathers, provoke not your children to anger: but bring them up in the discipline & correption of our Lord.📜💬📚
Serving with Honor
5 Servants, be obedient to your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ:📜💬📚
6 not serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men, but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.📜💬📚
7 with a good will serving, as to our Lord and not to men.📜💬📚
8 Knowing that every one what good soever he shall do, that shall he receive of our Lord, whether he be bond, or free.📜💬📚
9 And you masters, do the same things to them, remitting threatenings: knowing that both their Lord and yours, is in Heaven: and acception of persons is not with him.📜💬📚
Full Armor of God
10 Hence-forth, brethren, be strengthened in our Lord, and in the might of his power.📜💬📚
11 Put you on the armour of God, that you may stand against the deceits of the devil.📜💬📚
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood: but against Princes and Potestates, against the rectors of the world of this darkness, against the spirituals of wickedness in the celestials.📜💬📚
13 Therefore take the armour of God, that you may resist in the evil day, and stand in all things perfect.📜💬📚
14 Stand therefore having your loins girded in truth, and clothed with the breast-plate of justice,📜💬📚
15 & having your feet shod to the preparation of the Gospel of peace:📜💬📚
16 in all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one.📜💬📚
17 And take unto you the helmet of salvation: and the sword of the spirit (which is the word of God)📜💬📚
18 in all prayer and supplication praying at all time in spirit: and in the same watching in all instance and supplication for all the saints:📜💬📚
19 and for me, that speech may be given me in the opening of my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the Gospel,📜💬📚
20 for the which I am a legate in this chain, so that in it I may be bold according as I ought, to speak.📜💬📚
Final Greetings
21 And that you also may know the things about me, what I do, Tychicus my dearest brother and faithful minister in our Lord, will make you understand all things:📜💬📚
22 whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that you may know the things about us, and he may comfort your hearts.📜💬📚
23 Peace to the brethren and charity with faith from God the Father, and our Lord JESUS Christ.📜💬📚
24 Grace with all that love our Lord JESUS Christ in incorruption. Amen.📜💬📚
