Ephesians 6 — WBMS
6Verse 1Sons, obey ye to your father and mother, in the Lord; for this thing is rightful [or is just].Verse 2Honour thou thy father and mother, that is the first commandment in [the] promise;Verse 3that it be well to thee, and that thou be long living on the earth.Verse 4And, fathers, do not ye provoke your sons to wrath; but nourish ye them in the teaching and chastising [or in the discipline and correction] of the Lord.Verse 5Servants, obey ye to fleshly lords with dread and trembling, in simple-ness of your heart, as to Christ;Verse 6not serving at the eye, as pleasing to men, but as servants of Christ; doing the will of God by discretion,Verse 7with good will serving as to the Lord, and not as to men;Verse 8witting that each man, whatever good thing he shall do, he shall receive this of the Lord, whether servant, whether free man.Verse 9And, ye lords, do the same things to them, forgiving menacings; witting that both their Lord and yours is in heavens, and the taking of persons is not with God.Verse 10Here afterward, brethren, be ye comforted in the Lord, and in the might of his virtue.Verse 11Clothe you with the armour of God, that ye may stand against the ambushings, [or assailings], of the devil.Verse 12For why striving [or battle] is not to us against flesh and blood, but against [the] princes and potentates, against governors of the world of these darknesses, against spiritual things of wickedness, in heavenly things.Verse 13Therefore take ye the armour of God, that ye may against-stand in the evil day; and in all things stand perfect.Verse 14Therefore stand ye, and be girded about your loins in soothfastness, and clothed with the habergeon of rightwiseness,Verse 15and your feet shod in making ready of the gospel of peace.Verse 16In all things take ye the shield of faith, in which ye may quench all the fiery darts of him that is most wicked or the worst.Verse 17And take ye the helmet of health, and the sword of the Ghost, that is, the word of God.Verse 18By all prayer and beseeching pray ye all time in Spirit, and in him waking in all busyness, and beseeching for all holy men [or for all saints].Verse 19and for me; that word be given to me in opening of my mouth, with trust to make known the mystery of the gospel,Verse 20for which I am set in message in a chain; so that in it I be hardy to speak, as it behooveth me [to speak out].Verse 21And [that] ye know, what things be about me, what I do, Tychicus, my most dear brother, and true minister in the Lord, shall make all things known to you;Verse 22whom I sent to you for this same thing, that ye know what things be about us, and that he comfort your hearts.Verse 23Peace to brethren, and charity, with faith of God our Father, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.Verse 24Grace with all men that love our Lord Jesus Christ in uncorruption. Amen, that is, So be it.
