Ephesians 6:2-16
-
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 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 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 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.
