Ephesians 6

¹Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

²Honour thy father and mother, (which is the first commandement with promise,)

³That it may bee well with thee, and thou maiest liue long on the earth.

⁴And yee fathers, prouoke not your children to wrath: but bring them vp in the nourture and admonition of the Lord.

⁵Seruants, bee obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with feare and trembling, in singlenesse of your heart, as vnto Christ:

⁶Not with eye seruice as men pleasers, but as the seruants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart:

⁷With good will doing seruice, as to the Lord, and not to men,

⁸Knowing that whatsoeuer good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receiue of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

⁹And ye masters, do the same things vnto them, forbearing threatning: knowing that your master also is in heauen, neither is there respect of persons with him.

¹⁰Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, & in the power of his might.

¹¹Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the deuill.

¹²For wee wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darknes of this world, against spirituall wickednes in high places.

¹³Wherfore take vnto you the whole armour of God, that yee may be able to withstand in the euill day, and hauing done all, to stand.

¹⁴Stand therefore, hauing your loynes girt about with trueth, and hauing on the breast-plate of righteousnesse:

¹⁵And your feete shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace.

¹⁶Aboue all, taking the shielde of Faith, wherewith yee shall bee able to quench all the fierie dartes of the wicked.

¹⁷And take the helmet of saluation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

¹⁸Praying alwayes with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseuerance, and supplication for all Saints,

¹⁹And for mee, that vtterance may be giuen vnto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make knowen the mysterie of the Gospel:

²⁰For which I am an ambassador in bonds, that therein I may speake boldly, as I ought to speake.

²¹But that yee also may know my affaires, and how I doe, Tychicus a beloued brother, and faithfull minister in the Lord, shall make knowen to you all things.

²²Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose, that yee might know our affaires, and that he might comfort your hearts.

²³Peace be to the brethren, and loue, with faith from God the Father, and the Lord Iesus Christ.

²⁴Grace be with all them that loue our Lord Iesus Christ in sinceritie.Written from Rome vnto the Ephesians by Tychicus.
