Ephesians Chapter 6 (Index)

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

002  Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

003  That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

004  And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

005  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;

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

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

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

009  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.

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

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

012  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.

013  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.

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

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

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

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

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

019  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,

020  For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

021  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:

022  Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

023  Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

024  Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
