ABP - Ephesians - 6

6:1  The Children -- obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just!

6:2  Esteem your father and mother, which is the first commandment in promise,

6:3  that [2good 3to you 1it should be], and you will be a long time upon the earth.

6:4  And the fathers -- do not provoke to anger your children, but nourish them in instruction and admonition of the Lord!

6:5  The bondmen -- obey the masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart, as to the Christ;

6:6  not according to eyeservice, as ones who try to please men, but as bondmen of the Christ, doing the will of God from the soul,

6:7  with good-will serving as to the Lord, and not to men;

6:8  knowing that what ever any [2each 3should do 1good], this he shall carry from the Lord, whether bondman or whether free.

6:9  And the masters -- [2the 3same things 1do] to them! sparing intimidation, knowing that also your own master is in heavens, and [3discrimination 2no 1there is] with him.

6:10  For the rest, my brethren, be empowered in the Lord, and in the might of his strength!

6:11  Put on the full armor of God! for you to be able to stand against the craft of the devil.

6:12  For [3is not 4to us 1the 2wrestling] against blood and flesh, but against the sovereignties, against the authorities, against the world rulers of the darkness of this eon, against the spirituals of the wickedness in the heavenlies.

6:13  On account of this take up the full armor of God! that you should be able to oppose in the [2day 1wicked], and all things being worked out, to stand.

6:14  Stand then! girding your loin in truth, and putting on the chest plate of righteousness,

6:15  and having sandals tied on the feet in preparation of the good news of peace.

6:16  With all having taken up the shield of the belief, in which you shall be able [2all 3the 4arrows 5of the 6wicked one 7being setting on fire 1to extinguish];

6:17  and [2the 3helmet 4of deliverance 1receive], and the sword of the spirit! which is [2word 1God's].

6:18  Through all prayer and supplication praying at every time in spirit, and in this same thing being sleepless with all attention, and supplication for all the holy ones;

6:19  and for me, that to me should be given a word in opening my mouth in an open manner to make known the mystery of the good news,

6:20  for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I should speak openly as necessary for me to speak.

6:21  But that [3should know 2also 1you] the things concerning me, what I am doing -- all things [2to you 1will be made known] by Tychicus the beloved brother and trustworthy servant in the Lord,

6:22  whom I sent forth to you for this very same thing, that you should know the things concerning us, and he should comfort your hearts.

6:23  Peace to the brethren, and love with belief from God the father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

6:24  Favor be with all the ones loving our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility. Amen.
