Ephesians 6 — ASVBT
6Verse 1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.Verse 2Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise),Verse 3that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.Verse 4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.Verse 5Servants, be obedient unto them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;Verse 6not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;Verse 7with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men:Verse 8knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether he be bond or free.Verse 9And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that the Master of you yourselves also is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.Verse 10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.Verse 11Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.Verse 12For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.Verse 13Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.Verse 14Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,Verse 15and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;Verse 16above all, taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.Verse 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:Verse 18with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching unto this very thing in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,Verse 19and on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,Verse 20for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.Verse 21But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:Verse 22whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.Verse 23Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.Verse 24Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with a love incorruptible. Amen.
