Ephesians 6

2 How children should behave themselves toward their fathers and mothers, 4 Likewise parents toward their children, 5 Servants toward their masters, 9 Masters toward their servants. 13 An exhortation to the spiritual battle and what weapons the Christians should fight with all.
1.Children, *obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2.*honour thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with apromise)
3.That it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on earth.
4.And ye, fathers, provoke not your children to bwrath: but bring them up in cinstruction and information of the Lord.
5.*Servants, be obedient unto them that are your masters, daccording to the flesh, with fear and trembling in singleness of your hearts as unto Christ,
6.Not with service to the eye, as men pleasers, but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
7.With good will serving the Lord, and not men.
8.And know ye that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
9.And ye masters, do the same things unto them, putting away threatening: and know that ^even your master also is in heaven, neither is there *erespect of person with him.
10.¶ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11.Put on the ^whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the assaults of the devil.
12.For we wrestle not against fflesh and blood, but against *principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickednesses, which are in the high places.
13.For this cause take unto you the whole armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having finished all things, stand fast.
14.Stand therefore, and your loins gird about with verity, and having on the breastplate of grighteousness,
15.And your feet shod with the hpreparation of the Gospel of peace.
16.Above all, take the shield of faith, wherewith ye may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked,
17.*And take the helmet of isalvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18.And pray always with all manner prayer and supplication in the Spirit: and *watch thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all Saints,
19.* And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to publish the secret of the Gospel,
20.Whereof I am the ambassador in bonds, that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21.¶ But that ye may also know mine affairs, and what I do, Tychicus my dear brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall show you of all things,
22.Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know mine affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23.Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
24.Grace be with all them which love our Lord Jesus Christ, to their kimmortality, Amen.
Written from Rome unto the Ephesians, and sent by Tychicus.
