Ephesians 6

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just.	1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honor your father and your mother. This is the first commandment with a promise:	2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
3 so that it may be well with you, and so that you may have a long life upon the earth.	3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but educate them with the discipline and correction of the Lord.	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 your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ.	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 Do not serve only when seen, as if to please men, but act as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.	6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 Serve with good will, as to the Lord, and not to men.	7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 For you know that whatever good each one will do, the same will he receive from the Lord, whether he is servant or free.	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 you, lords, act similarly toward them, setting aside threats, knowing that the Lord of both you and them is in heaven. For with him there is no favoritism toward anyone.	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 Concerning the rest, brothers, be strengthened in the Lord, by the power of his virtue.	10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Be clothed in the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the treachery of the devil.	11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the directors of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in high places.	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 Because of this, take up the armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand the evil day and remain perfect in all things.	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 Therefore, stand firm, having been girded about your waist with truth, and having been clothed with the breastplate of justice,	14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 and having feet which have been shod by the preparation of the Gospel of peace.	15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 In all things, take up the shield of faith, with which you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one.	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 up the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit (which is the Word of God).	17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Through every kind of prayer and supplication, pray at all times in spirit, and so be vigilant with every kind of earnest supplication, for all the saints,	18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 and also for me, so that words may be given to me, as I open my mouth with faith to make known the mystery of the Gospel,	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 in such a manner that I may dare to speak exactly as I ought to speak. For I act as an ambassador in chains for the Gospel.	20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 Now, so that you also may know the things that concern me and what I am doing, Tychicus, a most beloved brother and a faithful minister in the Lord, will make known everything to you.	21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
22 I have sent him to you for this very reason, so that you may know the things that concern us, and so that he may console your hearts.	22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Peace to the brothers, and charity with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.	23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 May grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ, unto incorruption. Amen.	24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
