01:01 Paul <3972>, an apostle <0652> of Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547> by the will <2307> of God <2316>, to the saints <0040>
which <3588> are at <1722> Ephesus <2181>, and to the faithful
<4103> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>:
01:02 Grace <5485> [be] to you, and peace <1515>, from God
<2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <2962> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547>.
01:03 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>:
01:04 According <2531> as he hath chosen <1586> us in him before
<4253> the foundation <2602> of the world <2889>, that we should
be holy <0040> and without <0299> blame <0299> before <2714> him
in love <0026>:
01:05 Having predestinated <4309> us unto the adoption <5206> of
children <5206> by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> to himself <0848>,
according <2596> to the good pleasure <2107> of his will <2307>,
01:06 To the praise <1868> of the glory <1391> of his grace
<5485>, wherein <3757> he hath made <5487> us accepted <5487> in
the beloved <0025>.
01:07 In whom <3739> we have <2192> redemption <0629> through
<1223> his blood <0129>, the forgiveness <0859> of sins <3900>,
according <2596> to the riches <4149> of his grace <5485>;
01:08 Wherein <3757> he hath abounded <4052> toward <1519> us in
all <3956> wisdom <4678> and prudence <5428>;
01:09 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 <0848>:
01:10 That in the dispensation <3622> of the fulness <4138> of
times <2540> he might gather <0346> together <0346> 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:
01:11 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 <0848> will
<2307>:
01:12 That we should be to the praise <1868> of his glory <1391>,
who <3588> first <4276> trusted <4276> in Christ <5547>.
01:13 In whom <3739> ye also <2532> [trusted], after that ye
heard <0191> the word <4487> of truth <0225>, the gospel <2098>
of your <5216> salvation <4991>:in whom <3739> also <2532> after
that ye believed <4100>, ye were sealed <4972> with that holy
<0040> Spirit <4151> of promise <1860>,
01:14 Which <3739> is the earnest <0728> of our inheritance
<2817> until <1519> the redemption <0629> of the purchased
<4047> possession <4047>, unto the praise <1868> of his glory
<1391>.
01:15 Wherefore <5124> I also <2504>, after I heard <0191> of
your <5209> faith <4102> in the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and
love <0026> unto all <3956> the saints <0040>,
01:16 Cease <3973> not to give thanks <2168> for you, making
<4160> mention <3417> of you in my prayers <4335>;
01:17 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 <0602> in
the knowledge <1922> of him:
01:18 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 <0040>,
01:19 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>,
01:20 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 <0848> right <1188> hand in the heavenly <2032>
[places],
01:21 Far <5231> above <5231> all <3956> principality <0746>,
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 <0165>, but also <2532> in that which is to
come <3195>:
01:22 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>,
01:23 Which <3748> is his body <4983>, the fulness <4138> of him
that filleth <4137> all <3956> in all <3956>.
02:01 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead <3498> in
trespasses <3900> and sins <0266>;
02:02 Wherein <3757> in time <4218> past ye walked <4043>
according <2596> to the course <0165> of this <5127> world
<2889>, according <2596> to the prince <0758> of the power
<1849> of the air <0109>, the spirit <4151> that now <3568>
worketh <1754> in the children <5207> of disobedience <0543>:
02:03 Among <1722> whom <3739> also <2532> we all <3956> had our
conversation <0390> in times <4218> past in the lusts <1939> of
our flesh <4561>, fulfilling <4160> the desires <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>.
02:04 But God <2316>, who is rich <4145> in mercy <1656>, for
his great <4183> love <0026> wherewith <3739> he loved <0025> us,
02:05 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>;)
02:06 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>:
02:07 That in the ages <0165> 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>.
02:08 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>:
02:09 Not of works <2041>, lest <3361> any <5100> man should
boast <2744>.
02:10 For we are his workmanship <4161>, created <2936> in
Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> unto good <0018> works <2041>, which
<3739> God <2316> hath before <4282> ordained <4282> that we
should walk <4043> in them.
02:11 Wherefore <1352> remember <3421>, that ye [being] in time
<4218> past Gentiles <1484> in the flesh <4561>, who <3588> are
called <3004> Uncircumcision <0203> by that which <3588> is
called <3004> the Circumcision <4061> in the flesh <4561> made
<5499> by hands <5499>;
02:12 That at <1722> that time <2540> ye were without <5565>
Christ <5547>, being aliens <0526> 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 <0112> God <0112> in the world <2889>:
02:13 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 <0129> of Christ <5547>.
02:14 For he is our peace <1515>, who <3739> hath made <4160>
both <0297> one <1520>, and hath broken <3089> down the middle
<3320> wall of partition <5418> [between us];
02:15 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 <0444>, [so] making
<4160> peace <1515>;
02:16 And that he might reconcile <0604> both <0297> unto God
<2316> in one <1520> body <4983> by the cross <4716>, having
slain <0615> the enmity <2189> thereby <0846>:
02:17 And came <2064> and preached <2097> peace <1515> to you
which <3588> were afar <3112> off, and to them that were nigh
<1451>.
02:18 For through <1223> him we both <0297> have <2192> access
<4318> by one <1520> Spirit <4151> unto the Father <3962>.
02:19 Now <3767> therefore <0686> ye are no <3765> more <3765>
strangers <3581> and foreigners <3941>, but fellowcitizens
<4847> with the saints <0040>, and of the household <3609> of
God <2316>;
02:20 And are built <2026> upon the foundation <2310> of the
apostles <0652> and prophets <4396>, Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>
himself <0848> being <5607> the chief <0204> corner <0204>
[stone];
02:21 In whom <3739> all <3956> the building <3619> fitly <4883>
framed <4883> together <4883> groweth <0837> unto an holy <0040>
temple <3485> in the Lord <2962>:
02:22 In whom <3739> ye also <2532> are builded <4925> together
<4925> for an habitation <2732> of God <2316> through <1722> the
Spirit <4151>.
03:01 For this <5127> cause <5484> I Paul <3972>, the prisoner
<1198> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for you Gentiles <1484>,
03:02 If <1489> ye have heard <0191> of the dispensation <3622>
of the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325>
me to you-ward <5209>:
03:03 How that by revelation <0602> he made <1107> known <1107>
unto me the mystery <3466>; (as I wrote <4270> afore <4270> in
few <3641> words,
03:04 Whereby <3739>, when ye read <0314>, ye may <1410>
understand <3539> my knowledge <4907> in the mystery <3466> of
Christ <5547>)
03:05 Which <3739> in other <2087> ages <1074> was not made
<1107> known <1107> unto the sons <5207> of men <0444>, as it is
now <3568> revealed <0601> unto his holy <0040> apostles <0652>
and prophets <4396> by the Spirit <4151>;
03:06 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>:
03:07 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>.
03:08 Unto me, who am less <1647> than the least <1647> of all
<3956> saints <0040>, is this <3778> grace <5485> given <1325>,
that I should preach <2097> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484> the
unsearchable <0421> riches <4149> of Christ <5547>;
03:09 And to make <5461> all <3956> [men] see <5461> what <5101>
[is] the fellowship <2842> of the mystery <3466>, which <3588>
from the beginning of the world <0165> hath been hid <0613> in
God <2316>, who <3588> created <2936> all <3956> things by Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547>:
03:10 To the intent <2443> that now <3568> unto the
principalities <0746> and powers <1849> in heavenly <2032>
[places] might be known <1107> by the church <1577> the manifold
<4182> wisdom <4678> of God <2316>,
03:11 According <2596> to the eternal <0165> purpose <4286>
which <3739> he purposed <4160> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>
our Lord <2962>:
03:12 In whom <3739> we have <2192> boldness <3954> and access
<4318> with confidence <4006> by the faith <4102> of him.
03:13 Wherefore <1352> I desire <0154> that ye faint <1573> not
at <1722> my tribulations <2347> for you, which <3748> is your
glory <1391>.
03:14 For this <5127> cause <5484> I bow <2578> my knees <1119>
unto the Father <3962> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547>,
03:15 Of whom <3739> the whole <3956> family <3965> in heaven
<3772> and earth <1093> is named <3687>,
03:16 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
<0444>;
03:17 That Christ <5547> may dwell <2730> in your <5216> hearts
<2588> by faith <4102>; that ye, being rooted <4492> and
grounded <2311> in love <0026>,
03:18 May be able <1840> to comprehend <2638> with all <3956>
saints <0040> what <5101> [is] the breadth <4114>, and length
<3372>, and depth <0899>, and height <5311>;
03:19 And to know <1097> the love <0026> of Christ <5547>, which
passeth <5235> knowledge <1108>, that ye might be filled <4137>
with all <3956> the fulness <4138> of God <2316>.
03:20 Now <1161> unto him that is able <1410> to do <4160>
exceeding <5228> abundantly <4053> above <5228> all <3956> that
we ask <0154> or <2228> think <3539>, according <2596> to the
power <1411> that worketh <1754> in us,
03:21 Unto him [be] glory <1391> in the church <1577> by Christ
<5547> Jesus <2424> throughout <1519> all <3956> ages <1074>,
world <0165> without end <0165>. Amen <0281>.
04:01 I therefore <3767>, the prisoner <1198> of the Lord <2962>,
beseech <3870> you that ye walk <4043> worthy <0516> of the
vocation <2821> wherewith <3739> ye are called <2564>,
04:02 With all <3956> lowliness <5012> and meekness <4236>, with
longsuffering <3115>, forbearing <0430> one <0240> another
<0240> in love <0026>;
04:03 Endeavouring <4704> to keep <5083> the unity <1775> of the
Spirit <4151> in the bond <4886> of peace <1515>.
04:04 [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>;
04:05 One <1520> Lord <2962>, one <1520> faith <4102>, one
<3391> baptism <0908>,
04:06 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>.
04:07 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>.
04:08 Wherefore <1352> he saith <3004>, When he ascended <0305>
up on <5311> high <5311>, he led <0162> captivity <0161> captive
<0162>, and gave <1325> gifts <1390> unto men <0444>.
04:09 (Now that he ascended <0305>, what <5101> is it but that
he also <2532> descended <2597> first <4412> into <1519> the
lower <2737> parts <3313> of the earth <1093>?
04:10 He that descended <2597> is the same also <2532> that
ascended <0305> up far <5231> above <5231> all <3956> heavens
<3772>, that he might fill <4137> all <3956> things.)
04:11 And he gave <1325> some <3588>, apostles <0652>; and some
<3588>, prophets <4396>; and some <3588>, evangelists <2099>;
and some <3588>, pastors <4166> and teachers <1320>;
04:12 For the perfecting <2677> of the saints <0040>, for the
work <2041> of the ministry <1248>, for the edifying <3619> of
the body <4983> of Christ <5547>:
04:13 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 <0435>, unto the
measure <3358> of the stature <2244> of the fulness <4138> of
Christ <5547>:
04:14 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 <0417> of doctrine
<1319>, by the sleight <2940> of men <0444>, [and] cunning
craftiness <3834>, whereby <4314> they lie <3180> in wait <3180>
to deceive <4106>;
04:15 But speaking <0226> the truth <0226> in love <0026>, may
grow <0837> up into <1519> him in all <3956> things, which
<3739> is the head <2776>, [even] Christ <5547>:
04:16 From whom <3739> the whole <3956> body <4983> fitly <4883>
joined <4883> together <4883> and compacted <4822> by that which
every <3596> joint <0860> supplieth <2024>, according <2596> to
the effectual <1753> working <1753> in the measure <3358> of
every <1538> part <3313>, maketh <4160> increase <0838> of the
body <4983> unto the edifying <3619> of itself <1438> in love
<0026>.
04:17 This <5124> I say <3004> therefore <3767>, and testify
<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>,
04:18 Having the understanding <1271> darkened <4654>, being
<5607> alienated <0526> from the life <2222> of God <2316>
through <1223> the ignorance <0052> that is in them, because
<1223> of the blindness <4457> of their heart <2588>:
04:19 Who <3748> being past <0524> feeling <0524> have given
<3860> themselves <1438> over <3860> unto lasciviousness <0766>,
to work <2039> all <3956> uncleanness <0167> with greediness
<4124>.
04:20 But ye have not so <3779> learned <3129> Christ <5547>;
04:21 If <1489> so <3779> be that ye have heard <0191> him, and
have been taught <1321> by him, as the truth <0225> is in Jesus
<2424>:
04:22 That ye put <0659> off <0659> concerning <2596> the former
<4387> conversation <0391> the old <3820> man <0444>, which
<3588> is corrupt <5351> according <2596> to the deceitful
<0539> lusts <1939>;
04:23 And be renewed <0365> in the spirit <4151> of your <5216>
mind <3563>;
04:24 And that ye put <1746> on <1746> the new <2537> man <0444>,
which <3588> after <2596> God <2316> is created <2936> in
righteousness <1343> and true <0225> holiness <3742>.
04:25 Wherefore <1352> putting <0659> away <0659> lying <5579>,
speak <2980> every <1538> man truth <0226> with his neighbour
<4139>:for we are members <3196> one <0240> of another <0240>.
04:26 Be ye angry <3710>, and sin <0264> not:let not the sun
<2246> go <1931> down <1931> upon your <5216> wrath <3950>:
04:27 Neither <3383> give <1325> place <5117> to the devil
<1228>.
04:28 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 <0018>, that he
may have <2192> to give <3330> to him that needeth <5532>.
04:29 Let no <3361> corrupt <4550> communication <3056> proceed
<1607> out of your <5216> mouth <4750>, but that which <1536> is
good <0018> to the use <5532> of edifying <3619>, that it may
minister <1325> grace <5485> unto the hearers <0191>.
04:30 And grieve <3076> not the holy <0040> Spirit <4151> of God
<2316>, whereby <3739> ye are sealed <4972> unto the day <2250>
of redemption <0629>.
04:31 Let all <3956> bitterness <4088>, and wrath <2372>, and
anger <3709>, and clamour <2906>, and evil <0988> speaking
<0988>, be put <0142> away from you, with all <3956> malice
<2549>:
04:32 And be ye kind <5543> one <0240> to another <0240>,
tenderhearted <2155>, forgiving <5483> one <1438> another <1438>,
even <2532> as God <2316> for Christ's <5547> sake <1722> hath
forgiven <5483> you.
05:01 Be ye therefore <3767> followers <3402> of God <2316>, as
dear <0027> children <5043>;
05:02 And walk <4043> in love <0026>, as Christ <5547> also
<2532> hath loved <0026> 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>.
05:03 But fornication <4202>, and all <3956> uncleanness <0167>,
or <2228> covetousness <4124>, let it not be once <3366> named
<3687> among <1722> you, as becometh <4241> saints <0040>;
05:04 Neither <3756> filthiness <0151>, nor <2532> foolish
<3473> talking <3473>, nor <2228> jesting <2160>, which <3588>
are not convenient <0433>:but rather <3123> giving of thanks
<2169>.
05:05 For this <5124> ye know <1097>, that no <3756> whoremonger
<4205>, nor <2228> unclean <0169> person, nor <2228> covetous
<4123> man, who <3739> is an idolater <1496>, hath <2192> any
inheritance <2817> in the kingdom <0932> of Christ <5547> and of
God <2316>.
05:06 Let no <3367> man <3367> deceive <0538> 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 <0543>.
05:07 Be not ye therefore <3767> partakers <4830> with them.
05:08 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>:
05:09 (For the fruit <2590> of the Spirit <4151> [is] in all
<3956> goodness <0019> and righteousness <1343> and truth <0226>;
)
05:10 Proving <1381> what <5101> is acceptable <2101> unto the
Lord <2962>.
05:11 And have no <3361> fellowship <4790> with the unfruitful
<0175> works <2041> of darkness <4655>, but rather <3123>
reprove <1651> [them].
05:12 For it is a shame <0149> even <2532> to speak <3004> of
those <3588> things which are done <1096> of them in secret
<2931>.
05:13 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>.
05:14 Wherefore <1352> he saith <3004>, Awake <1453> thou that
sleepest <2518>, and arise <0450> from the dead <3498>, and
Christ <5547> shall give thee light <2017>.
05:15 See <0991> then <3767> that ye walk <4043> circumspectly
<0199>, not as fools <0781>, but as wise <4680>,
05:16 Redeeming <1805> the time <2540>, because <3754> the days
<2250> are evil <4190>.
05:17 Wherefore <5124> be ye not unwise <0878>, but
understanding <4920> what <5101> the will <2307> of the Lord
<2962> [is].
05:18 And be not drunk <3182> with wine <3631>, wherein <3757>
is excess <0810>; but be filled <4137> with the Spirit <4151>;
05:19 Speaking <2980> to yourselves <1438> in psalms <5568> and
hymns <5215> and spiritual <4152> songs <5603>, singing <0103>
and making <5567> melody <5567> in your <5216> heart <2588> to
the Lord <2962>;
05:20 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>;
05:21 Submitting <5293> yourselves one <0240> to another <0240>
in the fear <5401> of God <2316>.
05:22 Wives <1135>, submit <5293> yourselves unto your <3588>
own <2398> husbands <0435>, as unto the Lord <2962>.
05:23 For the husband <0435> 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>.
05:24 Therefore <0235> as the church <1577> is subject <5293>
unto Christ <5547>, so <3779> [let] the wives <1135> [be] to
their own <2398> husbands <0435> in every <3956> thing.
05:25 Husbands <0435>, love <0025> your <1438> wives <1135>,
even <2531> as Christ <5547> also <2532> loved <0025> the church
<1577>, and gave <3860> himself <1438> for it;
05:26 That he might sanctify <0037> and cleanse <2511> it with
the washing <3067> of water <5204> by the word <4487>,
05:27 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 <0040> and without <0299> blemish
<0299>.
05:28 So <3779> ought <3784> men <0435> to love <0025> their
wives <1135> as their own <1438> bodies <4983>. He that loveth
<0025> his wife <1135> loveth <0025> himself <1438>.
05:29 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>:
05:30 For we are members <3196> of his body <4983>, of his flesh
<4561>, and of his bones <3747>.
05:31 For this <5127> cause <0873> shall a man <0444> 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>.
05:32 This <5124> is a great <3173> mystery <3466>:but I speak
<3004> concerning <1519> Christ <5547> and the church <1577>.
05:33 Nevertheless <4133> let every <1520> one of you in
particular <1520> so <3779> love <0025> his wife <1135> even
<5613> as himself <1438>; and the wife <1135> [see] that she
reverence <5399> [her] husband <0435>.
06:01 Children <5043>, obey <5219> your <5216> parents <1118> in
the Lord <2962>:for this <5124> is right <1342>.
06:02 Honour <5091> thy father <3962> and mother <3384>; (which
<3748> is the first <4413> commandment <1785> with promise
<1860>;)
06:03 That it may be well <2095> with thee, and thou mayest live
<3118> long <2118> on <1909> the earth <1093>.
06:04 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>.
06:05 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 <0572> of your
<5216> heart <2588>, as unto Christ <5547>;
06:06 Not with eyeservice <3787>, as menpleasers <0441>; but as
the servants <1401> of Christ <5547>, doing <4160> the will
<2307> of God <2316> from the heart <5590>;
06:07 With good <2133> will <2133> doing <1398> service <1398>,
as to the Lord <2962>, and not to men <0444>:
06:08 Knowing <1492> that whatsoever <5100> good <0018> 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>.
06:09 And, ye masters <2962>, do <4160> the same <0846> things
unto them, forbearing <0447> threatening <0547>:knowing <1492>
that your <5216> Master <2962> also <2532> is in heaven <3772>;
neither <3756> is there respect <3382> of persons <4382> with
him.
06:10 Finally <3063>, my brethren <0080>, be strong <1743> in
the Lord <2962>, and in the power <2904> of his might <2479>.
06:11 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>.
06:12 For we wrestle <3823> not against <4314> flesh <4561> and
blood <0129>, but against <4314> principalities <0746>, against
<4314> powers <1849>, against <4314> the rulers <2888> of the
darkness <4655> of this <5127> world <0165>, against <4314>
spiritual <4152> wickedness <4189> in high <2032> [places].
06:13 Wherefore <5124> take <0353> unto you the whole armour
<3833> of God <2316>, that ye may be able <1410> to withstand
<0436> in the evil <4190> day <2250>, and having done <2716> all
<0537>, to stand <2476>.
06:14 Stand <2476> therefore <3767>, having your <5216> loins
<3751> girt <4024> about <4024> with truth <0226>, and having
<1746> on <1746> the breastplate <2382> of righteousness <1343>;
06:15 And your <3588> feet <4228> shod <5265> with the
preparation <2091> of the gospel <2098> of peace <1515>;
06:16 Above <1909> all <3956>, taking <0353> the shield <2375>
of faith <4102>, wherewith <3739> ye shall be able <1410> to
quench <4570> all <3956> the fiery <4448> darts <0956> of the
wicked <4190>.
06:17 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>:
06:18 Praying <4336> always <2540> with all <3956> prayer <4335>
and supplication <1162> in the Spirit <4151>, and watching
<0069> thereunto <5124> with all <3956> perseverance <4343> and
supplication <1162> for all <3956> saints <0040>;
06:19 And for me, that utterance <3056> may be given <1325> unto
me, that I may open <0457> my mouth <4750> boldly <3954>, to
make <1107> known <1107> the mystery <3466> of the gospel <2098>,
06:20 For which <3739> I am an ambassador <4243> in bonds <0254>:
that therein <0846> I may speak boldly <3955>, as I ought <1163>
to speak <2980>.
06:21 But that ye also <2532> may know <1492> my affairs <2596>,
[and] how <5101> I do <4238>, Tychicus <5190>, a beloved <0027>
brother <0080> and faithful <4103> minister <1249> in the Lord
<2962>, shall make <1107> known <1107> to you all <3956> things:
06:22 Whom <3739> I have sent <3992> unto you for the same
<0846> purpose, that ye might know <1097> our affairs <4012>,
and [that] he might comfort <3870> your <5216> hearts <2588>.
06:23 Peace <1515> [be] to the brethren <0080>, and love <0026>
with faith <4102>, from God <2316> the Father <3962> and the
Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
06:24 Grace <5485> [be] with all <3956> them that love <0025>
our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> in sincerity <0861>.
Amen <0281>.
