Ephesians - Chapter 6 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
  • 2. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
  • 3. That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
  • 4. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
  • 5. Servants, be obedient to them that are {cf15I your} masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
  • 6. Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
  • 7. With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
  • 8. Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether {cf15I he be} bond or free.
  • 9. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons 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 wiles of the devil.
  • 12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high {cf15I places}.
  • 13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
  • 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
  • 15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
  • 16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
  • 17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
  • 18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching 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 make known the mystery of the gospel,
  • 20. For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
  • 21. But that ye also may know my affairs, {cf15I and} how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
  • 22. Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and {cf15I that} he might comfort your hearts.
  • 23. Peace {cf15I be} to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • 24. Grace {cf15I be} with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. <{cf15I To {cf15I the} Ephesians written from Rome, by Tychicus.}>
