Children{G5043}, obey{G5219}{(G5720)} your{G5216} parents{G1118} in{G1722} the Lord{G2962}: for{G1063} this{G5124} is{G2076}{(G5748)} right{G1342}.

Honour{G5091}{(G5720)} thy{G4675} father{G3962} and{G2532} mother{G3384};(which{G3748} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the first{G4413} commandment{G1785} with{G1722} promise{G1860};)

That{G2443} it may be{G1096}{(G5638)} well{G2095} with thee{G4671}, and{G2532} thou mayest{G2071}{(G5704)} live long{G3118} on{G1909} the earth{G1093}.

And{G2532}, ye fathers{G3962}, provoke{G3949} not{G3361} your{G5216} children{G5043} to wrath{G3949}{(G5720)}: but{G235} bring{G1625} them{G846} up{G1625}{(G5720)} in{G1722} the nurture{G3809} and{G2532} admonition{G3559} of the Lord{G2962}.

Servants{G1401}, be obedient{G5219}{(G5720)} to them that are your masters{G2962} according to{G2596} the flesh{G4561}, with{G3326} fear{G5401} and{G2532} trembling{G5156}, in{G1722} singleness{G572} of your{G5216} heart{G2588}, as{G5613} unto Christ{G5547};

Not{G3361} with{G2596} eyeservice{G3787}, as{G5613} menpleasers{G441}; but{G235} as{G5613} the servants{G1401} of Christ{G5547}, doing{G4160}{(G5723)} the will{G2307} of God{G2316} from{G1537} the heart{G5590};

With{G3326} good will{G2133} doing service{G1398}{(G5723)}, as to the Lord{G2962}, and{G2532} not{G3756} to men{G444}:

Knowing{G1492}{(G5761)} that{G3754} whatsoever{G3739}{G1437}{G5100} good thing{G18} any man{G1538} doeth{G4160}{(G5661)}, the same{G5124} shall he receive{G2865}{(G5695)} of{G3844} the Lord{G2962}, whether{G1535} he be bond{G1401} or{G1535} free{G1658}.

And{G2532}, ye masters{G2962}, do{G4160}{(G5720)} the same things{G846} unto{G4314} them{G846}, forbearing{G447}{(G5723)} threatening{G547}: knowing{G1492}{(G5761)} that{G3754} your{G5216}{G846} Master{G2962} also{G2532} is{G2076}{(G5748)} in{G1722} heaven{G3772}; neither{G2532}{G3756} is there{G2076}{(G5748)} respect of persons{G4382} with{G3844} him{G846}.

Finally{G3063}, my{G3450} brethren{G80}, be strong{G1743}{(G5744)} in{G1722} the Lord{G2962}, and{G2532} in{G1722} the power{G2904} of his{G846} might{G2479}.

Put on{G1746}{(G5669)} the whole armour{G3833} of God{G2316}, that{G4314} ye{G5209} may be able{G1410}{(G5738)} to stand{G2476}{(G5629)} against{G4314} the wiles{G3180} of the devil{G1228}.

For{G3754} we{G2254} wrestle{G3823} not{G3756} against{G2076}{(G5748)}{G4314} flesh{G4561} and{G2532} blood{G129}, but{G235} against{G4314} principalities{G746}, against{G4314} powers{G1849}, against{G4314} the rulers{G2888} of the darkness{G4655} of this{G5127} world{G165}, against{G4314} spiritual{G4152} wickedness{G4189} in{G1722} high{G2032} places.

Wherefore{G1223}{G5124} take unto you{G353}{(G5628)} the whole armour{G3833} of God{G2316}, that{G2443} ye may be able{G1410}{(G5667)} to withstand{G436}{(G5629)} in{G1722} the evil{G4190} day{G2250}, and{G2532} having done{G2716}{(G5666)} all{G537}, to stand{G2476}{(G5629)}.

Stand{G2476}{(G5628)} therefore{G3767}, having{G4024} your{G5216} loins{G3751} girt about{G4024}{(G5671)} with{G1722} truth{G225}, and{G2532} having on{G1746}{(G5671)} the breastplate{G2382} of righteousness{G1343};

And{G2532} your feet{G4228} shod{G5265}{(G5671)} with{G1722} the preparation{G2091} of the gospel{G2098} of peace{G1515};

Above{G1909} all{G3956}, taking{G353}{(G5631)} the shield{G2375} of faith{G4102}, wherewith{G1722}{G3739} ye shall be able{G1410}{(G5695)} to quench{G4570}{(G5658)} all{G3956} the fiery{G4448}{(G5772)} darts{G956} of the wicked{G4190}.

And{G2532} take{G1209}{(G5663)} the helmet{G4030} of salvation{G4992}, and{G2532} the sword{G3162} of the Spirit{G4151}, which is{G3603}{(G5748)} the word{G4487} of God{G2316}:

Praying{G4336}{(G5740)} always{G1722}{G2540}{G3956} with{G1223} all{G3956} prayer{G4335} and{G2532} supplication{G1162} in{G1722} the Spirit{G4151}, and{G2532} watching{G69}{(G5723)} thereunto{G1519}{G5124}{G846} with{G1722} all{G3956} perseverance{G4343} and{G2532} supplication{G1162} for{G4012} all{G3956} saints{G40};

And{G2532} for{G5228} me{G1700}, that{G2443} utterance{G3056} may be given{G1325}{(G5684)} unto me{G3427}, that I may open{G1722}{G457} my{G3450} mouth{G4750} boldly{G1722}{G3954}, to make known{G1107}{(G5658)} the mystery{G3466} of the gospel{G2098},

For{G5228} which{G3739} I am an ambassador{G4243}{(G5719)} in{G1722} bonds{G254}: that{G2443} therein{G1722}{G846} I may speak boldly{G3955}{(G5667)}, as{G5613} I{G3165} ought{G1163}{(G5748)} to speak{G2980}{(G5658)}.

But{G1161} that{G2443} ye{G5210} also{G2532} may know{G1492}{(G5762)} my{G1691} affairs{G2596}, and how{G5101} I do{G4238}{(G5719)}, Tychicus{G5190}, a beloved{G27} brother{G80} and{G2532} faithful{G4103} minister{G1249} in{G1722} the Lord{G2962}, shall make known{G1107}{(G5692)} to you{G5213} all things{G3956}:

Whom{G3739} I have sent{G3992}{(G5656)} unto{G4314} you{G5209} for{G1519} the same{G846} purpose{G5124}, that{G2443} ye might know{G1097}{(G5632)} our{G2257} affairs{G4012}, and{G2532} that he might comfort{G3870}{(G5661)} your{G5216} hearts{G2588}.

Peace{G1515} be to the brethren{G80}, and{G2532} love{G26} with{G3326} faith{G4102}, from{G575} God{G2316} the Father{G3962} and{G2532} the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}.

Grace{G5485} be with{G3326} all{G3956} them that love{G25}{(G5723)} our{G2257} Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} in{G1722} sincerity{G861}. Amen{G281}. To{G4314} the Ephesians{G2180} written{G1125}{(G5648)} from{G575} Rome{G4516}, by{G1223} Tychicus{G5190}.
