1Children[G5043], obey[G5219]your[G5216]parents[G1118]in[G1722] the Lord[G2962]: for[G1063]this[G5124]is[G2076]right[G1342].
2Honour[G5091]thy[G4675]father[G3962]and[G2532] mother;(which is[G2076] the first[G4413]commandment[G1785]with[G1722]promise[G1860];)
3That[G2443] it may be[G1096]well[G2095] with thee[G4671], and[G2532] thou mayest[G2071] live long[G3118]on[G1909] the earth[G1093].
4And[G2532], ye fathers[G3962], provoke[G3949]not[G3361]your[G5216]children[G5043] to wrath[G3949]: but[G235]bring[G1625]them[G846]up[G1625]in[G1722] the nurture[G3809]and[G2532]admonition[G3559] of the Lord[G2962].
5Servants[G1401], be obedient[G5219]to[G2596] them that are your[G5216]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];
6Not[G3361]with[G2596]eyeservice[G3787], as[G5613]menpleasers[G441]; but[G235]as[G5613] the servants[G1401] of Christ[G5547], doing[G4160] the will[G2307] of God[G2316]from[G1537] the heart[G5590];
7With[G3326] good will[G2133] doing service[G1398], as to the Lord[G2962], and[G2532]not[G3756] to men[G444]:
8Knowing[G1492]that[G3754]whatsoever[G3739] good thing[G18] any man[G1538]doeth[G4160], the same[G5124] shall he receive[G2865]of[G3844] the Lord[G2962], whether[G1535] he be bond[G1401]or[G1535]free[G1658].
9And[G2532], ye masters[G2962], do[G4160] the same things[G846]unto[G4314]them[G846], forbearing[G447]threatening[G547]: knowing[G1492]that[G3754]your[G5216]Master[G2962]also[G2532]is[G2076]in[G1722]heaven[G3772]; neither[G2532]is[G2076]there[G2076] respect of persons[G4382]with[G3844]him[G846].
10Finally[G3063], my[G3450]brethren[G80], be strong[G1743]in[G1722] the Lord[G2962], and[G2532]in[G1722] the power[G2904] of his[G846]might[G2479].

Put on[G1746] the whole armour[G3833] of God[G2316], that[G4314]ye[G5209] may be able[G1410] to stand[G2476]against[G4314] the wiles[G3180] of the devil[G1228].
12For[G3754]we[G2254]wrestle[G3823]not[G3756]against[G2076]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.
13Wherefore[G1223] take unto you[G353] the whole armour[G3833] of God[G2316], that[G2443] ye may be able[G1410] to withstand[G436]in[G1722] the evil[G4190]day[G2250], and[G2532] having done[G2716]all[G537], to stand[G2476].
14Stand[G2476]therefore[G3767], having[G4024]your[G5216]loins[G3751] girt about[G4024]with[G1722]truth[G225], and[G2532]having[G4024]on[G1746] the breastplate[G2382] of righteousness[G1343];
15And[G2532] your feet[G4228]shod[G5265]with[G1722] the preparation[G2091] of the gospel[G2098] of peace[G1515];
16Above[G1909]all[G3956], taking[G353] the shield[G2375] of faith[G4102], wherewith[G1722] ye shall be able[G1410] to quench[G4570]all[G3956] the fiery[G4448]darts[G956] of the wicked[G4190].
17And[G2532]take[G1209] the helmet[G4030] of salvation[G4992], and[G2532] the sword[G3162] of the Spirit[G4151], which is[G3603] the word[G4487] of God[G2316]:
18Praying[G4336]always[G1722]with[G1223]all[G3956]prayer[G4335]and[G2532]supplication[G1162]in[G1722] the Spirit[G4151], and[G2532]watching[G69]thereunto[G1519]with[G1722]all[G3956]perseverance[G4343]and[G2532]supplication[G1162]for[G4012]all[G3956]saints[G40];
19And[G2532]for[G5228]me[G1700], that[G2443]utterance[G3056] may be given[G1325] unto me[G3427], that[G2443] I may open[G1722]my[G3450]mouth[G4750]boldly[G1722], to make known[G1107] the mystery[G3466] of the gospel[G2098],
20For[G5228]which[G3739]I[G3165] am an ambassador[G4243]in[G1722]bonds[G254]: that[G2443]therein[G1722]I[G3165] may speak[G2980]boldly[G3955], as[G5613]I[G3165]ought[G1163] to speak[G2980].
21But[G1161]that[G2443]ye[G5210]also[G2532] may know[G1492]my[G1691]affairs[G2596], and[G2532]how[G5101] I do[G4238], Tychicus[G5190], a beloved[G27]brother[G80]and[G2532]faithful[G4103]minister[G1249]in[G1722] the Lord[G2962], shall make known[G1107] to you[G5213] all things[G3956]:
22Whom[G3739] I have sent[G3992]unto[G4314]you[G5209]for[G1519] the same[G846]purpose[G5124], that[G2443] ye might know[G1097]our[G2257]affairs[G4012], and[G2532]that[G2443] he might comfort[G3870]your[G5216]hearts[G2588].
23Peace[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].
24Grace[G5485] be with[G3326]all[G3956] them that love[G25]our[G2257]Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]in[G1722]sincerity[G861]. Amen[G281]. To[G4314] the Ephesians[G2180]written[G1125]from[G575]Rome[G4516], by[G1223]Tychicus[G5190].
