Ephesians 1
1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <652> of Jesus <2424>
Christ
<5547> by the will <2307> of God <2316>, to the saints
<40>
which <3588> are at <1722> Ephesus <2181>, and to the
faithful <4103> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>:
2 Grace <5485> [be] to you, and peace <1515>, from
God
<2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <2962>
Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547>.
3. Blessed <2128> [be] the God <2316> and Father
<3962> of
our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, who <3588>
hath
blessed <2127> us with all <3956> spiritual <4152>
blessings
<2129> in heavenly <2032> [places] in Christ <5547>:
4 According <2531> as he hath chosen <1586> us in him
before <4253> the foundation <2602> of the world
<2889>,
that we should be holy <40> and without <299> blame
<299>
before <2714> him in love <26>:
5 Having predestinated <4309> us unto the adoption
<5206>
of children <5206> by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> to
himself
<848>, according <2596> to the good pleasure <2107> of
his
will <2307>,
6 To the praise <1868> of the glory <1391> of his
grace
<5485>, wherein <3757> he hath made <5487> us accepted
<5487> in the beloved <25>.
7 In whom <3739> we have <2192> redemption <629>
through
<1223> his blood <129>, the forgiveness <859> of sins
<3900>, according <2596> to the riches <4149> of his
grace
<5485>;
8 Wherein <3757> he hath abounded <4052> toward
<1519> us
in all <3956> wisdom <4678> and prudence <5428>;
9 Having made <1107> known <1107> unto us the mystery
<3466> of his will <2307>, according <2596> to his good
pleasure <2107> which <3739> he hath purposed <4388> in
himself <848>:
10 That in the dispensation <3622> of the fulness
<4138>
of times <2540> he might gather <346> together <346>
in one
all <3956> things in Christ <5547>, both <5037> which
<3588>
are in heaven <3772>, and which <3588> are on <1909>
earth
<1093>; [even] in him:
11 In whom <3739> also <2532> we have obtained
<2820> an
inheritance <2820>, being predestinated <4309>
according
<2596> to the purpose <4286> of him who worketh <1754>
all
<3956> things after <2596> the counsel <1012> of his
own
<848> will <2307>:
12 That we should be to the praise <1868> of his
glory
<1391>, who <3588> first <4276> trusted <4276> in
Christ
<5547>.
13 In whom <3739> ye also <2532> [trusted], after
that ye
heard <191> the word <4487> of truth <225>, the gospel
<2098> of your <5216> salvation <4991>: in whom <3739>
also
ephesians
2
<2532> after that ye believed <4100>, ye were sealed
<4972>
with that holy <40> Spirit <4151> of promise <1860>,
14 Which <3739> is the earnest <728> of our
inheritance
<2817> until <1519> the redemption <629> of the
purchased
<4047> possession <4047>, unto the praise <1868> of his
glory <1391>.
15. Wherefore <5124> I also <2504>, after I heard
<191> of
your <5209> faith <4102> in the Lord <2962> Jesus
<2424>,
and love <26> unto all <3956> the saints <40>,
16 Cease <3973> not to give thanks <2168> for you,
making
<4160> mention <3417> of you in my prayers <4335>;
17 That the God <2316> of our Lord <2962> Jesus
<2424>
Christ <5547>, the Father <3962> of glory <1391>, may
give
<1325> unto you the spirit <4151> of wisdom <4678> and
revelation <602> in the knowledge <1922> of him:
18 The eyes <3788> of your <5216> understanding
<1271>
being enlightened <5461>; that ye may know <1492> what
<5101> is the hope <1680> of his calling <2821>, and
what
<5101> the riches <4149> of the glory <1391> of his
inheritance <2817> in the saints <40>,
19 And what <5101> [is] the exceeding <5235>
greatness
<3174> of his power <1411> to us-ward <2248> who <3588>
believe <4100>, according <2596> to the working <1753>
of
his mighty <2479> power <2904>,
20 Which <3739> he wrought <1754> in Christ <5547>,
when
he raised <1453> him from the dead <3498>, and set
<2523>
[him] at <1722> his own <848> right <1188> hand in the
heavenly <2032> [places],
21 Far <5231> above <5231> all <3956> principality
<746>,
and power <1849>, and might <1411>, and dominion
<2963>, and
every <3956> name <3686> that is named <3687>, not only
<3440> in this <3588> world <165>, but also <2532> in
that
which is to come <3195>:
22 And hath put <5293> all <3956> [things] under
<5259>
his feet <4228>, and gave <1325> him [to be] the head
<2776>
over <5228> all <3956> [things] to the church <1577>,
23 Which <3748> is his body <4983>, the fulness
<4138> of
him that filleth <4137> all <3956> in all <3956>.
Ephesians 2
1. And you [hath he quickened], who were dead <3498>
in
trespasses <3900> and sins <266>;
2 Wherein <3757> in time <4218> past ye walked <4043>
according <2596> to the course <165> of this <5127>
world
<2889>, according <2596> to the prince <758> of the
power
<1849> of the air <109>, the spirit <4151> that now
<3568>
worketh <1754> in the children <5207> of disobedience
<543>:
3 Among <1722> whom <3739> also <2532> we all <3956>
had
our conversation <390> in times <4218> past in the
lusts
<1939> of our flesh <4561>, fulfilling <4160> the
desires
ephesians
3
<2307> of the flesh <4561> and of the mind <1271>; and
were
by nature <5449> the children <5043> of wrath <3709>,
even
<2532> as others <3062>.
4. But God <2316>, who is rich <4145> in mercy <1656>,
for
his great <4183> love <26> wherewith <3739> he loved
<25>
us,
5 Even <2532> when we were dead <3498> in sins
<3900>,
hath quickened <4806> us together <4806> with Christ
<5547>,
(by grace <5485> ye are saved <4982>;)
6 And hath raised <4891> [us] up together <4891>,
and made
<4776> [us] sit <4776> together <4776> in heavenly
<2032>
[places] in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>:
7 That in the ages <165> to come <1904> he might shew
<1731> the exceeding <5235> riches <4149> of his grace
<5485> in [his] kindness <5544> toward <1909> us
through
<1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
8 For by grace <5485> are ye saved <4982> through
<1223>
faith <4102>; and that not of yourselves <5216>: [it
is] the
gift <1435> of God <2316>:
9 Not of works <2041>, lest <3361> any <5100> man
should
boast <2744>.
10 For we are his workmanship <4161>, created <2936>
in
Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> unto good <18> works <2041>,
which <3739> God <2316> hath before <4282> ordained
<4282>
that we should walk <4043> in them.
11. Wherefore <1352> remember <3421>, that ye [being]
in
time <4218> past Gentiles <1484> in the flesh <4561>,
who
<3588> are called <3004> Uncircumcision <203> by that
which
<3588> is called <3004> the Circumcision <4061> in the
flesh
<4561> made <5499> by hands <5499>;
12 That at <1722> that time <2540> ye were without
<5565>
Christ <5547>, being aliens <526> from the commonwealth
<4174> of Israel <2474>, and strangers <3581> from the
covenants <1242> of promise <1860>, having <2192> no
<3361>
hope <1680>, and without <112> God <112> in the world
<2889>:
13 But now <3570> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> ye
who
<3739> sometimes <4218> were far <3112> off <3112> are
made
<1096> nigh <1451> by the blood <129> of Christ <5547>.
14. For he is our peace <1515>, who <3739> hath made
<4160>
both <297> one <1520>, and hath broken <3089> down the
middle <3320> wall of partition <5418> [between us];
15 Having abolished <2673> in his flesh <4561> the
enmity
<2189>, [even] the law <3551> of commandments <1785>
[contained] in ordinances <1378>; for to make <2936> in
himself <1438> of twain <1417> one <1520> new <2537>
man
<444>, [so] making <4160> peace <1515>;
16 And that he might reconcile <604> both <297> unto
God
<2316> in one <1520> body <4983> by the cross <4716>,
having
slain <615> the enmity <2189> thereby <846>:
17 And came <2064> and preached <2097> peace <1515>
to you
ephesians
4
which <3588> were afar <3112> off, and to them that
were
nigh <1451>.
18 For through <1223> him we both <297> have <2192>
access
<4318> by one <1520> Spirit <4151> unto the Father
<3962>.
19 Now <3767> therefore <686> ye are no <3765> more
<3765>
strangers <3581> and foreigners <3941>, but
fellowcitizens
<4847> with the saints <40>, and of the household
<3609> of
God <2316>;
20 And are built <2026> upon the foundation <2310>
of the
apostles <652> and prophets <4396>, Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547> himself <848> being <5607> the chief <204>
corner
<204> [stone];
21 In whom <3739> all <3956> the building <3619>
fitly
<4883> framed <4883> together <4883> groweth <837>
unto an
holy <40> temple <3485> in the Lord <2962>:
22 In whom <3739> ye also <2532> are builded <4925>
together <4925> for an habitation <2732> of God <2316>
through <1722> the Spirit <4151>.
Ephesians 3
1. For this <5127> cause <5484> I Paul <3972>, the
prisoner
<1198> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for you Gentiles
<1484>,
2 If <1489> ye have heard <191> of the dispensation
<3622>
of the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> is given
<1325> me to you-ward <5209>:
3 How that by revelation <602> he made <1107> known
<1107>
unto me the mystery <3466>; (as I wrote <4270> afore
<4270>
in few <3641> words,
4 Whereby <3739>, when ye read <314>, ye may <1410>
understand <3539> my knowledge <4907> in the mystery
<3466>
of Christ <5547>)
5 Which <3739> in other <2087> ages <1074> was not
made
<1107> known <1107> unto the sons <5207> of men <444>,
as it
is now <3568> revealed <601> unto his holy <40>
apostles
<652> and prophets <4396> by the Spirit <4151>;
6 That the Gentiles <1484> should be fellowheirs
<4789>,
and of the same <4954> body <4954>, and partakers
<4830> of
his promise <1860> in Christ <5547> by the gospel
<2098>:
7 Whereof <3739> I was made <1096> a minister <1249>,
according <2596> to the gift <1431> of the grace
<5485> of
God <2316> given <1325> unto me by the effectual <1753>
working <1753> of his power <1411>.
8 Unto me, who am less <1647> than the least <1647>
of all
<3956> saints <40>, is this <3778> grace <5485> given
<1325>, that I should preach <2097> among <1722> the
Gentiles <1484> the unsearchable <421> riches <4149> of
Christ <5547>;
9 And to make <5461> all <3956> [men] see <5461> what
<5101> [is] the fellowship <2842> of the mystery
<3466>,
ephesians
5
which <3588> from the beginning of the world <165>
hath been
hid <613> in God <2316>, who <3588> created <2936> all
<3956> things by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>:
10 To the intent <2443> that now <3568> unto the
principalities <746> and powers <1849> in heavenly
<2032>
[places] might be known <1107> by the church <1577> the
manifold <4182> wisdom <4678> of God <2316>,
11 According <2596> to the eternal <165> purpose
<4286>
which <3739> he purposed <4160> in Christ <5547> Jesus
<2424> our Lord <2962>:
12 In whom <3739> we have <2192> boldness <3954> and
access <4318> with confidence <4006> by the faith
<4102> of
him.
13 Wherefore <1352> I desire <154> that ye faint
<1573>
not at <1722> my tribulations <2347> for you, which
<3748>
is your glory <1391>.
14. For this <5127> cause <5484> I bow <2578> my knees
<1119> unto the Father <3962> of our Lord <2962> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547>,
15 Of whom <3739> the whole <3956> family <3965> in
heaven
<3772> and earth <1093> is named <3687>,
16 That he would grant <1325> you, according <2596>
to the
riches <4149> of his glory <1391>, to be strengthened
<2901>
with might <1411> by his Spirit <4151> in the inner
<2080>
man <444>;
17 That Christ <5547> may dwell <2730> in your <5216>
hearts <2588> by faith <4102>; that ye, being rooted
<4492>
and grounded <2311> in love <26>,
18 May be able <1840> to comprehend <2638> with all
<3956>
saints <40> what <5101> [is] the breadth <4114>, and
length
<3372>, and depth <899>, and height <5311>;
19 And to know <1097> the love <26> of Christ <5547>,
which passeth <5235> knowledge <1108>, that ye might be
filled <4137> with all <3956> the fulness <4138> of God
<2316>.
20 Now <1161> unto him that is able <1410> to do
<4160>
exceeding <5228> abundantly <4053> above <5228> all
<3956>
that we ask <154> or <2228> think <3539>, according
<2596>
to the power <1411> that worketh <1754> in us,
21 Unto him [be] glory <1391> in the church <1577> by
Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> throughout <1519> all
<3956> ages
<1074>, world <165> without end <165>. Amen <281>.
Ephesians 4
1. I therefore <3767>, the prisoner <1198> of the Lord
<2962>, beseech <3870> you that ye walk <4043> worthy
<516>
of the vocation <2821> wherewith <3739> ye are called
<2564>,
2. With all <3956> lowliness <5012> and meekness
<4236>,
with longsuffering <3115>, forbearing <430> one <240>
ephesians
6
another <240> in love <26>;
3 Endeavouring <4704> to keep <5083> the unity
<1775> of
the Spirit <4151> in the bond <4886> of peace <1515>.
4 [There is] one <1520> body <4983>, and one <1520>
Spirit
<4151>, even <2532> as ye are called <2564> in one
<3391>
hope <1680> of your <5216> calling <2821>;
5 One <1520> Lord <2962>, one <1520> faith <4102>,
one
<3391> baptism <908>,
6 One <1520> God <2316> and Father <3962> of all
<3956>,
who <3588> [is] above <1909> all <3956>, and through
<1223>
all <3956>, and in you all <3956>.
7 But unto every <1538> one <1520> of us is given
<1325>
grace <5485> according <2596> to the measure <3358> of
the
gift <1431> of Christ <5547>.
8 Wherefore <1352> he saith <3004>, When he ascended
<305>
up on <5311> high <5311>, he led <162> captivity <161>
captive <162>, and gave <1325> gifts <1390> unto men
<444>.
9 (Now that he ascended <305>, what <5101> is it but
that
he also <2532> descended <2597> first <4412> into
<1519> the
lower <2737> parts <3313> of the earth <1093>?
10 He that descended <2597> is the same also <2532>
that
ascended <305> up far <5231> above <5231> all <3956>
heavens
<3772>, that he might fill <4137> all <3956> things.)
11 And he gave <1325> some <3588>, apostles <652>;
and
some <3588>, prophets <4396>; and some <3588>,
evangelists
<2099>; and some <3588>, pastors <4166> and teachers
<1320>;
12 For the perfecting <2677> of the saints <40>, for
the
work <2041> of the ministry <1248>, for the edifying
<3619>
of the body <4983> of Christ <5547>:
13 Till <3360> we all <3956> come <2658> in the unity
<1775> of the faith <4102>, and of the knowledge
<1922> of
the Son <5207> of God <2316>, unto a perfect <5046> man
<435>, unto the measure <3358> of the stature <2244>
of the
fulness <4138> of Christ <5547>:
14 That we [henceforth <3063>] be no <3371> more
<2001>
children <3516>, tossed <2831> to and fro <2831>, and
carried <4064> about <4064> with every <3596> wind
<417> of
doctrine <1319>, by the sleight <2940> of men <444>,
[and]
cunning craftiness <3834>, whereby <4314> they lie
<3180> in
wait <3180> to deceive <4106>;
15 But speaking <226> the truth <226> in love <26>,
may
grow <837> up into <1519> him in all <3956> things,
which
<3739> is the head <2776>, [even] Christ <5547>:
16 From whom <3739> the whole <3956> body <4983>
fitly
<4883> joined <4883> together <4883> and compacted
<4822> by
that which every <3596> joint <860> supplieth <2024>,
according <2596> to the effectual <1753> working
<1753> in
the measure <3358> of every <1538> part <3313>, maketh
<4160> increase <838> of the body <4983> unto the
edifying
<3619> of itself <1438> in love <26>.
17. This <5124> I say <3004> therefore <3767>, and
testify
ephesians
7
<3143> in the Lord <2962>, that ye henceforth <3371>
walk
<4043> not as other <3062> Gentiles <1484> walk <4043>,
in
the vanity <3153> of their mind <3563>,
18 Having the understanding <1271> darkened <4654>,
being
<5607> alienated <526> from the life <2222> of God
<2316>
through <1223> the ignorance <52> that is in them,
because
<1223> of the blindness <4457> of their heart <2588>:
19 Who <3748> being past <524> feeling <524> have
given
<3860> themselves <1438> over <3860> unto
lasciviousness
<766>, to work <2039> all <3956> uncleanness <167> with
greediness <4124>.
20 But ye have not so <3779> learned <3129> Christ
<5547>;
21 If <1489> so <3779> be that ye have heard <191>
him,
and have been taught <1321> by him, as the truth <225>
is in
Jesus <2424>:
22 That ye put <659> off <659> concerning <2596> the
former <4387> conversation <391> the old <3820> man
<444>,
which <3588> is corrupt <5351> according <2596> to the
deceitful <539> lusts <1939>;
23 And be renewed <365> in the spirit <4151> of your
<5216> mind <3563>;
24 And that ye put <1746> on <1746> the new <2537>
man
<444>, which <3588> after <2596> God <2316> is created
<2936> in righteousness <1343> and true <225> holiness
<3742>.
25 Wherefore <1352> putting <659> away <659> lying
<5579>,
speak <2980> every <1538> man truth <226> with his
neighbour
<4139>: for we are members <3196> one <240> of another
<240>.
26 Be ye angry <3710>, and sin <264> not: let not
the sun
<2246> go <1931> down <1931> upon your <5216> wrath
<3950>:
27 Neither <3383> give <1325> place <5117> to the
devil
<1228>.
28 Let him that stole <2813> steal <2813> no <3371>
more
<2001>: but rather <3123> let him labour <2872>,
working
<2038> with [his] hands <5495> the thing which is good
<18>,
that he may have <2192> to give <3330> to him that
needeth
<5532>.
29 Let no <3361> corrupt <4550> communication <3056>
proceed <1607> out of your <5216> mouth <4750>, but
that
which <1536> is good <18> to the use <5532> of edifying
<3619>, that it may minister <1325> grace <5485> unto
the
hearers <191>.
30 And grieve <3076> not the holy <40> Spirit <4151>
of
God <2316>, whereby <3739> ye are sealed <4972> unto
the day
<2250> of redemption <629>.
31 Let all <3956> bitterness <4088>, and wrath
<2372>, and
anger <3709>, and clamour <2906>, and evil <988>
speaking
<988>, be put <142> away from you, with all <3956>
malice
<2549>:
32 And be ye kind <5543> one <240> to another <240>,
ephesians
8
tenderhearted <2155>, forgiving <5483> one <1438>
another
<1438>, even <2532> as God <2316> for Christ's <5547>
sake
<1722> hath forgiven <5483> you.
Ephesians 5
1. Be ye therefore <3767> followers <3402> of God
<2316>,
as dear <27> children <5043>;
2 And walk <4043> in love <26>, as Christ <5547> also
<2532> hath loved <26> us, and hath given <3860>
himself
<1438> for us an offering <4376> and a sacrifice
<2378> to
God <2316> for a sweetsmelling <2175> savour <3744>.
3. But fornication <4202>, and all <3956> uncleanness
<167>, or <2228> covetousness <4124>, let it not be
once
<3366> named <3687> among <1722> you, as becometh
<4241>
saints <40>;
4 Neither <3756> filthiness <151>, nor <2532> foolish
<3473> talking <3473>, nor <2228> jesting <2160>, which
<3588> are not convenient <433>: but rather <3123>
giving of
thanks <2169>.
5 For this <5124> ye know <1097>, that no <3756>
whoremonger <4205>, nor <2228> unclean <169> person,
nor
<2228> covetous <4123> man, who <3739> is an idolater
<1496>, hath <2192> any inheritance <2817> in the
kingdom
<932> of Christ <5547> and of God <2316>.
6 Let no <3367> man <3367> deceive <538> you with
vain
<2756> words <3056>: for because <1223> of these <5023>
things cometh <2064> the wrath <3709> of God <2316>
upon the
children <5207> of disobedience <543>.
7 Be not ye therefore <3767> partakers <4830> with
them.
8 For ye were sometimes <4218> darkness <4655>, but
now
<3568> [are ye] light <5457> in the Lord <2962>: walk
<4043>
as children <5043> of light <5457>:
9 (For the fruit <2590> of the Spirit <4151> [is] in
all
<3956> goodness <19> and righteousness <1343> and truth
<226>;)
10 Proving <1381> what <5101> is acceptable <2101>
unto
the Lord <2962>.
11 And have no <3361> fellowship <4790> with the
unfruitful <175> works <2041> of darkness <4655>, but
rather
<3123> reprove <1651> [them].
12 For it is a shame <149> even <2532> to speak
<3004> of
those <3588> things which are done <1096> of them in
secret
<2931>.
13 But all <3956> things that are reproved <1651>
are made
<5319> manifest <5319> by the light <5457>: for
whatsoever
<3956> doth make <5319> manifest <5319> is light
<5457>.
14 Wherefore <1352> he saith <3004>, Awake <1453>
thou
that sleepest <2518>, and arise <450> from the dead
<3498>,
and Christ <5547> shall give thee light <2017>.
15 See <991> then <3767> that ye walk <4043>
circumspectly
ephesians
9
<199>, not as fools <781>, but as wise <4680>,
16 Redeeming <1805> the time <2540>, because <3754>
the
days <2250> are evil <4190>.
17 Wherefore <5124> be ye not unwise <878>, but
understanding <4920> what <5101> the will <2307> of
the Lord
<2962> [is].
18 And be not drunk <3182> with wine <3631>, wherein
<3757> is excess <810>; but be filled <4137> with the
Spirit
<4151>;
19 Speaking <2980> to yourselves <1438> in psalms
<5568>
and hymns <5215> and spiritual <4152> songs <5603>,
singing
<103> and making <5567> melody <5567> in your <5216>
heart
<2588> to the Lord <2962>;
20 Giving thanks <2168> always <3842> for all <3956>
things unto God <2316> and the Father <3962> in the
name
<3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>;
21. Submitting <5293> yourselves one <240> to another
<240>
in the fear <5401> of God <2316>.
22 Wives <1135>, submit <5293> yourselves unto your
<3588>
own <2398> husbands <435>, as unto the Lord <2962>.
23 For the husband <435> is the head <2776> of the
wife
<1135>, even <2532> as Christ <5547> is the head
<2776> of
the church <1577>: and he is the saviour <4990> of the
body
<4983>.
24 Therefore <235> as the church <1577> is subject
<5293>
unto Christ <5547>, so <3779> [let] the wives <1135>
[be] to
their own <2398> husbands <435> in every <3956> thing.
25 Husbands <435>, love <25> your <1438> wives
<1135>,
even <2531> as Christ <5547> also <2532> loved <25> the
church <1577>, and gave <3860> himself <1438> for it;
26 That he might sanctify <37> and cleanse <2511> it
with
the washing <3067> of water <5204> by the word <4487>,
27 That he might present <3936> it to himself <1438>
a
glorious <1741> church <1577>, not having <2192> spot
<4696>, or <2228> wrinkle <4512>, or <2228> any <5100>
such
<5108> thing; but that it should be holy <40> and
without
<299> blemish <299>.
28 So <3779> ought <3784> men <435> to love <25>
their
wives <1135> as their own <1438> bodies <4983>. He that
loveth <25> his wife <1135> loveth <25> himself <1438>.
29 For no <3762> man <3762> ever <4218> yet hated
<3404>
his own <1438> flesh <4561>; but nourisheth <1625> and
cherisheth <2282> it, even <2532> as the Lord <2962>
the
church <1577>:
30 For we are members <3196> of his body <4983>, of
his
flesh <4561>, and of his bones <3747>.
31 For this <5127> cause <873> shall a man <444>
leave
<2641> his father <3962> and mother <3384>, and shall
be
joined <4347> unto his wife <1135>, and they two <1417>
shall be one <3391> flesh <4561>.
32 This <5124> is a great <3173> mystery <3466>: but
I
ephesians
10
speak <3004> concerning <1519> Christ <5547> and the
church
<1577>.
33 Nevertheless <4133> let every <1520> one of you in
particular <1520> so <3779> love <25> his wife <1135>
even
<5613> as himself <1438>; and the wife <1135> [see]
that she
reverence <5399> [her] husband <435>.
Ephesians 6
1. Children <5043>, obey <5219> your <5216> parents
<1118>
in the Lord <2962>: for this <5124> is right <1342>.
2 Honour <5091> thy father <3962> and mother <3384>;
(which <3748> is the first <4413> commandment <1785>
with
promise <1860>;)
3 That it may be well <2095> with thee, and thou
mayest
live <3118> long <2118> on <1909> the earth <1093>.
4 And, ye fathers <3962>, provoke <3949> not your
<5216>
children <5043> to wrath <3949>: but bring <1625> them
up in
the nurture <3809> and admonition <3559> of the Lord
<2962>.
5 Servants <1401>, be obedient <5219> to them that
are
[your] masters <2962> according <2596> to the flesh
<4561>,
with fear <5401> and trembling <5156>, in singleness
<572>
of your <5216> heart <2588>, as unto Christ <5547>;
6 Not with eyeservice <3787>, as menpleasers <441>;
but as
the servants <1401> of Christ <5547>, doing <4160> the
will
<2307> of God <2316> from the heart <5590>;
7 With good <2133> will <2133> doing <1398> service
<1398>, as to the Lord <2962>, and not to men <444>:
8 Knowing <1492> that whatsoever <5100> good <18>
thing
any <1538> man doeth <4160>, the same <3778> shall he
receive <2865> of the Lord <2962>, whether <1535> [he
be]
bond <1401> or <1535> free <1658>.
9 And, ye masters <2962>, do <4160> the same <846>
things
unto them, forbearing <447> threatening <547>: knowing
<1492> that your <5216> Master <2962> also <2532> is in
heaven <3772>; neither <3756> is there respect <3382>
of
persons <4382> with him.
10. Finally <3063>, my brethren <80>, be strong
<1743> in
the Lord <2962>, and in the power <2904> of his might
<2479>.
11 Put <1746> on <1746> the whole armour <3833> of
God
<2316>, that ye may be able <1410> to stand <2476>
against
<4314> the wiles <3180> of the devil <1228>.
12 For we wrestle <3823> not against <4314> flesh
<4561>
and blood <129>, but against <4314> principalities
<746>,
against <4314> powers <1849>, against <4314> the rulers
<2888> of the darkness <4655> of this <5127> world
<165>,
against <4314> spiritual <4152> wickedness <4189> in
high
<2032> [places].
13 Wherefore <5124> take <353> unto you the whole
armour
<3833> of God <2316>, that ye may be able <1410> to
ephesians
11
withstand <436> in the evil <4190> day <2250>, and
having
done <2716> all <537>, to stand <2476>.
14 Stand <2476> therefore <3767>, having your <5216>
loins
<3751> girt <4024> about <4024> with truth <226>, and
having
<1746> on <1746> the breastplate <2382> of
righteousness
<1343>;
15 And your <3588> feet <4228> shod <5265> with the
preparation <2091> of the gospel <2098> of peace
<1515>;
16 Above <1909> all <3956>, taking <353> the shield
<2375>
of faith <4102>, wherewith <3739> ye shall be able
<1410> to
quench <4570> all <3956> the fiery <4448> darts <956>
of the
wicked <4190>.
17 And take <1209> the helmet <4030> of salvation
<4992>,
and the sword <3162> of the Spirit <4151>, which
<3739> is
the word <4487> of God <2316>:
18 Praying <4336> always <2540> with all <3956>
prayer
<4335> and supplication <1162> in the Spirit <4151>,
and
watching <69> thereunto <5124> with all <3956>
perseverance
<4343> and supplication <1162> for all <3956> saints
<40>;
19. And for me, that utterance <3056> may be given
<1325>
unto me, that I may open <457> my mouth <4750> boldly
<3954>, to make <1107> known <1107> the mystery <3466>
of
the gospel <2098>,
20 For which <3739> I am an ambassador <4243> in
bonds
<254>: that therein <846> I may speak boldly <3955>,
as I
ought <1163> to speak <2980>.
21 But that ye also <2532> may know <1492> my affairs
<2596>, [and] how <5101> I do <4238>, Tychicus <5190>,
a
beloved <27> brother <80> and faithful <4103> minister
<1249> in the Lord <2962>, shall make <1107> known
<1107> to
you all <3956> things:
22 Whom <3739> I have sent <3992> unto you for the
same
<846> purpose, that ye might know <1097> our affairs
<4012>,
and [that] he might comfort <3870> your <5216> hearts
<2588>.
23 Peace <1515> [be] to the brethren <80>, and love
<26>
with faith <4102>, from God <2316> the Father <3962>
and the
Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
24 Grace <5485> [be] with all <3956> them that love
<25>
our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> in sincerity
<861>. Amen <281>.
