MKJV - Ephesians - 6

6:1  Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

6:2  Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise),

6:3  so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.

6:4  And fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

6:5  Slaves, obey your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;

6:6  not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

6:7  with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men

6:8  (knowing that whatever good thing he does, he shall receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a freeman).

6:9  And masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening, knowing that your Master also is in Heaven. There is no respect of persons with Him.

6:10  Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

6:11  Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

6:12  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

6:13  Therefore take to yourselves the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

6:14  Therefore stand, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness

6:15  and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.

6:16  Above all, take the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

6:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God,

6:18  praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching to this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

6:19  And pray for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

6:20  for which I am an ambassador in bonds; so that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

6:21  But, so that you 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,

6:22  whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that you might know our affairs and that he might comfort your hearts.

6:23  Peace to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

6:24  Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
