Holy Bible
(King James Version)
Ephesians:
Chapter 6
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 eye-service, as men-pleasers; 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.
