Ephesians 6

6^aChildren, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. ^2bHonour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) ^3bThat it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. ⁴And, ^cye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: ^dbut ^ebring them up in the nurture and ^fadmonition of the Lord.

^5gServants, be obedient to them that are your masters ^ggaccording to the flesh, ^hwith fear and trembling, ^giin singleness of your heart, ⁱⁱas unto Christ; ^6gNot with eyeservice, as ^jmenpleasers; but as ^kthe servants of Christ, doing ^lthe will of God from the heart; ^7mWith good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: ⁸Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, ⁿthe same shall he receive of the Lord, ^owhether he be bond or free. ⁹And, ^pye masters, do the same things unto them, ^||qforbearing threatening: knowing that ^||kryour Master also is in heaven; ^sneither is there respect of persons with him.

¹⁰Finally, my brethren, ^tbe strong in the Lord, and ^tin the power of his might. ^11uPut on ^vthe whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against ^wthe wiles of the devil. ¹²For ^xwe wrestle not against ^†flesh and blood, but against ^yprincipalities, against ^ypowers, against ^zthe rulers of the darkness ^aof this world, against ^||spiritual wickedness in ^||high places. ^13bWherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in ^cthe evil day, and ^||having done all, ^dto stand. ¹⁴Stand therefore, ^ehaving your loins girt about with truth, and ^fhaving on the breastplate of righteousness; ¹⁵And ^gyour feet shod with the preparation of ^hthe gospel of peace; ¹⁶Above all, taking ⁱthe shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the ^jfiery darts of ^kthe wicked. ¹⁷And take ^fthe helmet of salvation, and ^lthe sword of the Spirit, which is ^mthe word of God: ¹⁸ⁿPraying always with all prayer and supplication ^oin the Spirit, and ^pwatching thereunto with all ^qperseverance and ^rsupplication for all saints; ¹⁹And ^sfor me, that utterance may be given unto me, ^tthat I may open my mouth ^uboldly, to make known ^vthe mystery of the gospel, ²⁰For which I ^wam an ambassador ^||xin bonds: that ^||therein I ^umay speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

²¹But ^ythat ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, ^zTychicus, a beloved brother and ^afaithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things: ²²Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that ^aahe might comfort your hearts. ^23bPeace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ^24cGrace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ ^||in ^dsincerity. Amen.
