Ephesians 1



1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <652> of Jesus <2424>
Christ

<5547> by the will <2307> of God < 2316>, to the saints
<40>

which <3588> are at <1722> Ephesus < 2181>, and to the

faithful <4103> in Christ <5547> Jesus < 2424>:

2 Grace <5485> [be] to you, and peace < 1515>, from
God

<2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <2962>
Jesus

<2424> Christ <5547>.

3. Blessed <2128> [be] the God <2316> and Father
<3962> of

our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ < 5547>, who <3588>
hath

blessed <2127> us with all <3956> spiritual <4152>
blessings

<2129> in heavenly <2032> [places] in Christ <5547>:

4 According <2531> as he hath chosen < 1586> us in him

before <4253> the foundation <2602> of the world
<2889>,

that we should be holy <40> and without < 299> blame
<299>

before <2714> him in love <26>:

5 Having predestinated <4309> us unto the adoption
<5206>

of children <5206> by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> to
himself

<848>, according <2596> to the good pleasure <2107> of
his

will <2307>,

6 To the praise <1868> of the glory <1391> of his
grace

<5485>, wherein <3757> he hath made < 5487> us accepted

<5487> in the beloved <25>.

7 In whom <3739> we have <2192> redemption <629>
through

<1223> his blood <129>, the forgiveness < 859> of sins

<3900>, according <2596> to the riches < 4149> of his
grace

<5485>;

8 Wherein <3757> he hath abounded <4052> toward
<1519> us

in all <3956> wisdom <4678> and prudence <5428>;

9 Having made <1107> known <1107> unto us the mystery

<3466> of his will <2307>, according < 2596> to his good

pleasure <2107> which <3739> he hath purposed <4388> in

himself <848>:

10 That in the dispensation <3622> of the fulness
<4138>

of times <2540> he might gather <346> together <346>
in one

all <3956> things in Christ <5547>, both <5037> which
<3588>

are in heaven <3772>, and which <3588> are on <1909>
earth

<1093>; [even] in him:

11 In whom <3739> also <2532> we have obtained
<2820> an

inheritance <2820>, being predestinated < 4309>
according

<2596> to the purpose <4286> of him who worketh <1754>
all

<3956> things after <2596> the counsel < 1012> of his
own

<848> will <2307>:

12 That we should be to the praise <1868> of his
glory

<1391>, who <3588> first <4276> trusted <4276> in
Christ

<5547>.

13 In whom <3739> ye also <2532> [trusted], after
that ye

heard <191> the word <4487> of truth < 225>, the gospel

<2098> of your <5216> salvation <4991> : in whom <3739>
also

<2532> after that ye believed <4100>, ye were sealed
<4972>

with that holy <40> Spirit <4151> of promise <1860>,

14 Which <3739> is the earnest <728> of our
inheritance

<2817> until <1519> the redemption < 629> of the
purchased

<4047> possession <4047>, unto the praise <1868> of his

glory <1391>.

15. Wherefore <5124> I also <2504>, after I heard
<191> of

your <5209> faith <4102> in the Lord < 2962> Jesus
<2424>,

and love <26> unto all <3956> the saints <40>,

16 Cease <3973> not to give thanks <2168> for you,
making

<4160> mention <3417> of you in my prayers <4335>;

17 That the God <2316> of our Lord <2962> Jesus
<2424>

Christ <5547>, the Father <3962> of glory <1391>, may
give

<1325> unto you the spirit <4151> of wisdom <4678> and

revelation <602> in the knowledge <1922> of him:

18 The eyes <3788> of your <5216> understanding
<1271>

being enlightened <5461>; that ye may know < 1492> what

<5101> is the hope <1680> of his calling <2821>, and
what

<5101> the riches <4149> of the glory < 1391> of his

inheritance <2817> in the saints <40>,

19 And what <5101> [is] the exceeding < 5235>
greatness

<3174> of his power <1411> to us-ward < 2248> who <3588>

believe <4100>, according <2596> to the working <1753>
of

his mighty <2479> power <2904>,

20 Which <3739> he wrought <1754> in Christ <5547>,
when

he raised <1453> him from the dead <3498>, and set
<2523>

[him] at <1722> his own <848> right < 1188> hand in the

heavenly <2032> [places],

21 Far <5231> above <5231> all < 3956> principality
<746>,

and power <1849>, and might <1411>, and dominion
<2963>, and

every <3956> name <3686> that is named < 3687>, not only

<3440> in this <3588> world <165>, but also <2532> in
that

which is to come <3195>:

22 And hath put <5293> all <3956> [things] under
<5259>

his feet <4228>, and gave <1325> him [to be] the head
<2776>

over <5228> all <3956> [things] to the church <1577>,

23 Which <3748> is his body <4983>, the fulness
<4138> of

him that filleth <4137> all <3956> in all <3956>.



Ephesians 2



1. And you [hath he quickened], who were dead < 3498>
in

trespasses <3900> and sins <266>;

2 Wherein <3757> in time <4218> past ye walked <4043>

according <2596> to the course <165> of this <5127>
world

<2889>, according <2596> to the prince < 758> of the
power

<1849> of the air <109>, the spirit < 4151> that now
<3568>

worketh <1754> in the children <5207> of disobedience
<543>:

3 Among <1722> whom <3739> also < 2532> we all <3956>
had

our conversation <390> in times <4218> past in the
lusts

<1939> of our flesh <4561>, fulfilling < 4160> the
desires













ephesians

<2307> of the flesh <4561> and of the mind <1271>; and
were

by nature <5449> the children <5043> of wrath <3709>,
even

<2532> as others <3062>.

4. But God <2316>, who is rich <4145> in mercy <1656>,
for

his great <4183> love <26> wherewith < 3739> he loved
<25>

us,

5 Even <2532> when we were dead <3498> in sins
<3900>,

hath quickened <4806> us together <4806> with Christ
<5547>,

(by grace <5485> ye are saved <4982>;)

6 And hath raised <4891> [us] up together < 4891>,
and made

<4776> [us] sit <4776> together <4776> in heavenly
<2032>

[places] in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>:

7 That in the ages <165> to come <1904> he might shew

<1731> the exceeding <5235> riches < 4149> of his grace

<5485> in [his] kindness <5544> toward < 1909> us
through

<1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.

8 For by grace <5485> are ye saved <4982> through
<1223>

faith <4102>; and that not of yourselves < 5216>: [it
is] the

gift <1435> of God <2316>:

9 Not of works <2041>, lest <3361> any <5100> man
should

boast <2744>.

10 For we are his workmanship <4161>, created <2936>
in

Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> unto good < 18> works <2041>,

which <3739> God <2316> hath before < 4282> ordained
<4282>

that we should walk <4043> in them.

11. Wherefore <1352> remember <3421>, that ye [being]
in

time <4218> past Gentiles <1484> in the flesh <4561>,
who

<3588> are called <3004> Uncircumcision < 203> by that
which

<3588> is called <3004> the Circumcision <4061> in the
flesh

<4561> made <5499> by hands <5499>;

12 That at <1722> that time <2540> ye were without
<5565>

Christ <5547>, being aliens <526> from the commonwealth

<4174> of Israel <2474>, and strangers < 3581> from the

covenants <1242> of promise <1860>, having <2192> no
<3361>

hope <1680>, and without <112> God < 112> in the world

<2889>:

13 But now <3570> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> ye
who

<3739> sometimes <4218> were far < 3112> off <3112> are
made

<1096> nigh <1451> by the blood <129> of Christ <5547>.

14. For he is our peace <1515>, who <3739> hath made
<4160>

both <297> one <1520>, and hath broken < 3089> down the

middle <3320> wall of partition <5418> [between us];

15 Having abolished <2673> in his flesh < 4561> the
enmity

<2189>, [even] the law <3551> of commandments <1785>

[contained] in ordinances <1378>; for to make < 2936> in

himself <1438> of twain <1417> one < 1520> new <2537>
man

<444>, [so] making <4160> peace <1515> ;

16 And that he might reconcile <604> both < 297> unto
God

<2316> in one <1520> body <4983> by the cross <4716>,
having

slain <615> the enmity <2189> thereby < 846>:

17 And came <2064> and preached <2097> peace <1515>
to you

which <3588> were afar <3112> off, and to them that
were

nigh <1451>.

18 For through <1223> him we both <297> have <2192>
access

<4318> by one <1520> Spirit <4151> unto the Father
<3962>.

19 Now <3767> therefore <686> ye are no <3765> more
<3765>

strangers <3581> and foreigners <3941>, but
fellowcitizens

<4847> with the saints <40>, and of the household
<3609> of

God <2316>;

20 And are built <2026> upon the foundation < 2310>
of the

apostles <652> and prophets <4396>, Jesus <2424> Christ

<5547> himself <848> being <5607> the chief <204>
corner

<204> [stone];

21 In whom <3739> all <3956> the building <3619>
fitly

<4883> framed <4883> together <4883> groweth <837>
unto an

holy <40> temple <3485> in the Lord < 2962>:

22 In whom <3739> ye also <2532> are builded <4925>

together <4925> for an habitation <2732> of God <2316>

through <1722> the Spirit <4151>.



Ephesians 3



1. For this <5127> cause <5484> I Paul < 3972>, the
prisoner

<1198> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for you Gentiles

<1484>,

2 If <1489> ye have heard <191> of the dispensation
<3622>

of the grace <5485> of God <2316> which < 3588> is given

<1325> me to you-ward <5209>:

3 How that by revelation <602> he made < 1107> known
<1107>

unto me the mystery <3466>; (as I wrote < 4270> afore
<4270>

in few <3641> words,

4 Whereby <3739>, when ye read <314>, ye may <1410>

understand <3539> my knowledge <4907> in the mystery
<3466>

of Christ <5547>)

5 Which <3739> in other <2087> ages < 1074> was not
made

<1107> known <1107> unto the sons < 5207> of men <444>,
as it

is now <3568> revealed <601> unto his holy <40>
apostles

<652> and prophets <4396> by the Spirit < 4151>;

6 That the Gentiles <1484> should be fellowheirs
<4789>,

and of the same <4954> body <4954>, and partakers
<4830> of

his promise <1860> in Christ <5547> by the gospel
<2098>:

7 Whereof <3739> I was made <1096> a minister <1249>,

according <2596> to the gift <1431> of the grace
<5485> of

God <2316> given <1325> unto me by the effectual <1753>

working <1753> of his power <1411>.

8 Unto me, who am less <1647> than the least <1647>
of all

<3956> saints <40>, is this <3778> grace <5485> given

<1325>, that I should preach <2097> among <1722> the

Gentiles <1484> the unsearchable <421> riches <4149> of

Christ <5547>;

9 And to make <5461> all <3956> [men] see <5461> what

<5101> [is] the fellowship <2842> of the mystery
<3466>,













ephesians
5





which <3588> from the beginning of the world < 165>
hath been

hid <613> in God <2316>, who <3588> created <2936> all

<3956> things by Jesus <2424> Christ < 5547>:

10 To the intent <2443> that now <3568> unto the

principalities <746> and powers <1849> in heavenly
<2032>

[places] might be known <1107> by the church < 1577> the

manifold <4182> wisdom <4678> of God < 2316>,

11 According <2596> to the eternal <165> purpose
<4286>

which <3739> he purposed <4160> in Christ <5547> Jesus

<2424> our Lord <2962>:

12 In whom <3739> we have <2192> boldness <3954> and

access <4318> with confidence <4006> by the faith
<4102> of

him.

13 Wherefore <1352> I desire <154> that ye faint
<1573>

not at <1722> my tribulations <2347> for you, which
<3748>

is your glory <1391>.

14. For this <5127> cause <5484> I bow < 2578> my knees

<1119> unto the Father <3962> of our Lord <2962> Jesus

<2424> Christ <5547>,

15 Of whom <3739> the whole <3956> family <3965> in
heaven

<3772> and earth <1093> is named < 3687>,

16 That he would grant <1325> you, according <2596>
to the

riches <4149> of his glory <1391>, to be strengthened
<2901>

with might <1411> by his Spirit <4151> in the inner
<2080>

man <444>;

17 That Christ <5547> may dwell <2730> in your <5216>

hearts <2588> by faith <4102>; that ye, being rooted
<4492>

and grounded <2311> in love <26>,

18 May be able <1840> to comprehend <2638> with all
<3956>

saints <40> what <5101> [is] the breadth <4114>, and
length

<3372>, and depth <899>, and height < 5311>;

19 And to know <1097> the love <26> of Christ <5547>,

which passeth <5235> knowledge <1108>, that ye might be

filled <4137> with all <3956> the fulness <4138> of God

<2316>.

20 Now <1161> unto him that is able <1410> to do
<4160>

exceeding <5228> abundantly <4053> above <5228> all
<3956>

that we ask <154> or <2228> think < 3539>, according
<2596>

to the power <1411> that worketh <1754> in us,

21 Unto him [be] glory <1391> in the church < 1577> by

Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> throughout < 1519> all
<3956> ages

<1074>, world <165> without end <165>. Amen <281>.



Ephesians 4



1. I therefore <3767>, the prisoner <1198> of the Lord

<2962>, beseech <3870> you that ye walk < 4043> worthy
<516>

of the vocation <2821> wherewith <3739> ye are called

<2564>,

2. With all <3956> lowliness <5012> and meekness
<4236>,

with longsuffering <3115>, forbearing <430> one <240>

another <240> in love <26>;

3 Endeavouring <4704> to keep <5083> the unity
<1775> of

the Spirit <4151> in the bond <4886> of peace <1515>.

4 [There is] one <1520> body <4983>, and one <1520>
Spirit

<4151>, even <2532> as ye are called < 2564> in one
<3391>

hope <1680> of your <5216> calling < 2821>;

5 One <1520> Lord <2962>, one <1520> faith <4102>,
one

<3391> baptism <908>,

6 One <1520> God <2316> and Father < 3962> of all
<3956>,

who <3588> [is] above <1909> all < 3956>, and through
<1223>

all <3956>, and in you all <3956>.

7 But unto every <1538> one <1520> of us is given
<1325>

grace <5485> according <2596> to the measure <3358> of
the

gift <1431> of Christ <5547>.

8 Wherefore <1352> he saith <3004>, When he ascended
<305>

up on <5311> high <5311>, he led <162> captivity <161>

captive <162>, and gave <1325> gifts < 1390> unto men
<444>.

9 (Now that he ascended <305>, what <5101> is it but
that

he also <2532> descended <2597> first < 4412> into
<1519> the

lower <2737> parts <3313> of the earth < 1093>?

10 He that descended <2597> is the same also <2532>
that

ascended <305> up far <5231> above < 5231> all <3956>
heavens

<3772>, that he might fill <4137> all < 3956> things.)

11 And he gave <1325> some <3588>, apostles <652>;
and

some <3588>, prophets <4396>; and some < 3588>,
evangelists

<2099>; and some <3588>, pastors < 4166> and teachers
<1320>;

12 For the perfecting <2677> of the saints < 40>, for
the

work <2041> of the ministry <1248>, for the edifying
<3619>

of the body <4983> of Christ <5547>:

13 Till <3360> we all <3956> come < 2658> in the unity

<1775> of the faith <4102>, and of the knowledge
<1922> of

the Son <5207> of God <2316>, unto a perfect <5046> man

<435>, unto the measure <3358> of the stature <2244>
of the

fulness <4138> of Christ <5547>:

14 That we [henceforth <3063>] be no < 3371> more
<2001>

children <3516>, tossed <2831> to and fro <2831>, and

carried <4064> about <4064> with every < 3596> wind
<417> of

doctrine <1319>, by the sleight <2940> of men <444>,
[and]

cunning craftiness <3834>, whereby <4314> they lie
<3180> in

wait <3180> to deceive <4106>;

15 But speaking <226> the truth <226> in love <26>,
may

grow <837> up into <1519> him in all < 3956> things,
which

<3739> is the head <2776>, [even] Christ <5547>:

16 From whom <3739> the whole <3956> body <4983>
fitly

<4883> joined <4883> together <4883> and compacted
<4822> by

that which every <3596> joint <860> supplieth <2024>,

according <2596> to the effectual <1753> working
<1753> in

the measure <3358> of every <1538> part < 3313>, maketh

<4160> increase <838> of the body < 4983> unto the
edifying

<3619> of itself <1438> in love <26>.

17. This <5124> I say <3004> therefore < 3767>, and
testify

<3143> in the Lord <2962>, that ye henceforth <3371>
walk

<4043> not as other <3062> Gentiles < 1484> walk <4043>,
in

the vanity <3153> of their mind <3563>,

18 Having the understanding <1271> darkened < 4654>,
being

<5607> alienated <526> from the life < 2222> of God
<2316>

through <1223> the ignorance <52> that is in them,
because

<1223> of the blindness <4457> of their heart <2588>:

19 Who <3748> being past <524> feeling <524> have
given

<3860> themselves <1438> over <3860> unto
lasciviousness

<766>, to work <2039> all <3956> uncleanness <167> with

greediness <4124>.

20 But ye have not so <3779> learned < 3129> Christ
<5547>;

21 If <1489> so <3779> be that ye have heard <191>
him,

and have been taught <1321> by him, as the truth <225>
is in

Jesus <2424>:

22 That ye put <659> off <659> concerning <2596> the

former <4387> conversation <391> the old <3820> man
<444>,

which <3588> is corrupt <5351> according <2596> to the

deceitful <539> lusts <1939>;

23 And be renewed <365> in the spirit < 4151> of your

<5216> mind <3563>;

24 And that ye put <1746> on <1746> the new <2537>
man

<444>, which <3588> after <2596> God <2316> is created

<2936> in righteousness <1343> and true < 225> holiness

<3742>.

25 Wherefore <1352> putting <659> away <659> lying
<5579>,

speak <2980> every <1538> man truth < 226> with his
neighbour

<4139>: for we are members <3196> one < 240> of another

<240>.

26 Be ye angry <3710>, and sin <264> not: let not
the sun

<2246> go <1931> down <1931> upon your <5216> wrath
<3950>:

27 Neither <3383> give <1325> place < 5117> to the
devil

<1228>.

28 Let him that stole <2813> steal <2813> no <3371>
more

<2001>: but rather <3123> let him labour <2872>,
working

<2038> with [his] hands <5495> the thing which is good
<18>,

that he may have <2192> to give <3330> to him that
needeth

<5532>.

29 Let no <3361> corrupt <4550> communication <3056>

proceed <1607> out of your <5216> mouth < 4750>, but
that

which <1536> is good <18> to the use < 5532> of edifying

<3619>, that it may minister <1325> grace <5485> unto
the

hearers <191>.

30 And grieve <3076> not the holy <40> Spirit <4151>
of

God <2316>, whereby <3739> ye are sealed <4972> unto
the day

<2250> of redemption <629>.

31 Let all <3956> bitterness <4088>, and wrath
<2372>, and

anger <3709>, and clamour <2906>, and evil <988>
speaking

<988>, be put <142> away from you, with all <3956>
malice

<2549>:

32 And be ye kind <5543> one <240> to another <240>,

tenderhearted <2155>, forgiving <5483> one <1438>
another

<1438>, even <2532> as God <2316> for Christ's <5547>
sake

<1722> hath forgiven <5483> you.



Ephesians 5



1. Be ye therefore <3767> followers <3402> of God
<2316>,

as dear <27> children <5043>;

2 And walk <4043> in love <26>, as Christ <5547> also

<2532> hath loved <26> us, and hath given <3860>
himself

<1438> for us an offering <4376> and a sacrifice
<2378> to

God <2316> for a sweetsmelling <2175> savour <3744>.

3. But fornication <4202>, and all <3956> uncleanness

<167>, or <2228> covetousness <4124>, let it not be
once

<3366> named <3687> among <1722> you, as becometh
<4241>

saints <40>;

4 Neither <3756> filthiness <151>, nor <2532> foolish

<3473> talking <3473>, nor <2228> jesting <2160>, which

<3588> are not convenient <433>: but rather <3123>
giving of

thanks <2169>.

5 For this <5124> ye know <1097>, that no <3756>

whoremonger <4205>, nor <2228> unclean < 169> person,
nor

<2228> covetous <4123> man, who <3739> is an idolater

<1496>, hath <2192> any inheritance < 2817> in the
kingdom

<932> of Christ <5547> and of God < 2316>.

6 Let no <3367> man <3367> deceive < 538> you with
vain

<2756> words <3056>: for because < 1223> of these <5023>

things cometh <2064> the wrath <3709> of God <2316>
upon the

children <5207> of disobedience <543>.

7 Be not ye therefore <3767> partakers < 4830> with
them.

8 For ye were sometimes <4218> darkness < 4655>, but
now

<3568> [are ye] light <5457> in the Lord <2962>: walk
<4043>

as children <5043> of light <5457>:

9 (For the fruit <2590> of the Spirit < 4151> [is] in
all

<3956> goodness <19> and righteousness < 1343> and truth

<226>;)

10 Proving <1381> what <5101> is acceptable <2101>
unto

the Lord <2962>.

11 And have no <3361> fellowship <4790> with the

unfruitful <175> works <2041> of darkness <4655>, but
rather

<3123> reprove <1651> [them].

12 For it is a shame <149> even <2532> to speak
<3004> of

those <3588> things which are done <1096> of them in
secret

<2931>.

13 But all <3956> things that are reproved < 1651>
are made

<5319> manifest <5319> by the light < 5457>: for
whatsoever

<3956> doth make <5319> manifest < 5319> is light
<5457>.

14 Wherefore <1352> he saith <3004>, Awake <1453>
thou

that sleepest <2518>, and arise <450> from the dead
<3498>,

and Christ <5547> shall give thee light < 2017>.

15 See <991> then <3767> that ye walk < 4043>
circumspectly

<199>, not as fools <781>, but as wise < 4680>,

16 Redeeming <1805> the time <2540>, because <3754>
the

days <2250> are evil <4190>.

17 Wherefore <5124> be ye not unwise <878> , but

understanding <4920> what <5101> the will <2307> of
the Lord

<2962> [is].

18 And be not drunk <3182> with wine < 3631>, wherein

<3757> is excess <810>; but be filled < 4137> with the
Spirit

<4151>;

19 Speaking <2980> to yourselves <1438> in psalms
<5568>

and hymns <5215> and spiritual <4152> songs <5603>,
singing

<103> and making <5567> melody <5567> in your <5216>
heart

<2588> to the Lord <2962>;

20 Giving thanks <2168> always <3842> for all <3956>

things unto God <2316> and the Father <3962> in the
name

<3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>;

21. Submitting <5293> yourselves one <240> to another
<240>

in the fear <5401> of God <2316>.

22 Wives <1135>, submit <5293> yourselves unto your
<3588>

own <2398> husbands <435>, as unto the Lord <2962>.

23 For the husband <435> is the head < 2776> of the
wife

<1135>, even <2532> as Christ <5547> is the head
<2776> of

the church <1577>: and he is the saviour < 4990> of the
body

<4983>.

24 Therefore <235> as the church <1577> is subject
<5293>

unto Christ <5547>, so <3779> [let] the wives <1135>
[be] to

their own <2398> husbands <435> in every <3956> thing.

25 Husbands <435>, love <25> your < 1438> wives
<1135>,

even <2531> as Christ <5547> also < 2532> loved <25> the

church <1577>, and gave <3860> himself < 1438> for it;

26 That he might sanctify <37> and cleanse < 2511> it
with

the washing <3067> of water <5204> by the word <4487>,

27 That he might present <3936> it to himself <1438>
a

glorious <1741> church <1577>, not having <2192> spot

<4696>, or <2228> wrinkle <4512>, or <2228> any <5100>
such

<5108> thing; but that it should be holy < 40> and
without

<299> blemish <299>.

28 So <3779> ought <3784> men <435> to love <25>
their

wives <1135> as their own <1438> bodies < 4983>. He that

loveth <25> his wife <1135> loveth < 25> himself <1438>.

29 For no <3762> man <3762> ever < 4218> yet hated
<3404>

his own <1438> flesh <4561>; but nourisheth <1625> and

cherisheth <2282> it, even <2532> as the Lord <2962>
the

church <1577>:

30 For we are members <3196> of his body < 4983>, of
his

flesh <4561>, and of his bones <3747>.

31 For this <5127> cause <873> shall a man <444>
leave

<2641> his father <3962> and mother < 3384>, and shall
be

joined <4347> unto his wife <1135>, and they two <1417>

shall be one <3391> flesh <4561>.

32 This <5124> is a great <3173> mystery <3466>: but
I

speak <3004> concerning <1519> Christ < 5547> and the
church

<1577>.

33 Nevertheless <4133> let every <1520> one of you in

particular <1520> so <3779> love <25> his wife <1135>
even

<5613> as himself <1438>; and the wife < 1135> [see]
that she

reverence <5399> [her] husband <435>.



Ephesians 6



1. Children <5043>, obey <5219> your < 5216> parents
<1118>

in the Lord <2962>: for this <5124> is right <1342>.

2 Honour <5091> thy father <3962> and mother <3384>;

(which <3748> is the first <4413> commandment <1785>
with

promise <1860>;)

3 That it may be well <2095> with thee, and thou
mayest

live <3118> long <2118> on <1909> the earth <1093>.

4 And, ye fathers <3962>, provoke <3949> not your
<5216>

children <5043> to wrath <3949>: but bring <1625> them
up in

the nurture <3809> and admonition <3559> of the Lord
<2962>.

5 Servants <1401>, be obedient <5219> to them that
are

[your] masters <2962> according <2596> to the flesh
<4561>,

with fear <5401> and trembling <5156>, in singleness
<572>

of your <5216> heart <2588>, as unto Christ <5547>;

6 Not with eyeservice <3787>, as menpleasers <441>;
but as

the servants <1401> of Christ <5547>, doing <4160> the
will

<2307> of God <2316> from the heart < 5590>;

7 With good <2133> will <2133> doing < 1398> service

<1398>, as to the Lord <2962>, and not to men <444>:

8 Knowing <1492> that whatsoever <5100> good <18>
thing

any <1538> man doeth <4160>, the same < 3778> shall he

receive <2865> of the Lord <2962>, whether <1535> [he
be]

bond <1401> or <1535> free <1658>.

9 And, ye masters <2962>, do <4160> the same <846>
things

unto them, forbearing <447> threatening < 547>: knowing

<1492> that your <5216> Master <2962> also <2532> is in

heaven <3772>; neither <3756> is there respect <3382>
of

persons <4382> with him.

10. Finally <3063>, my brethren <80>, be strong
<1743> in

the Lord <2962>, and in the power <2904> of his might

<2479>.

11 Put <1746> on <1746> the whole armour <3833> of
God

<2316>, that ye may be able <1410> to stand <2476>
against

<4314> the wiles <3180> of the devil < 1228>.

12 For we wrestle <3823> not against < 4314> flesh
<4561>

and blood <129>, but against <4314> principalities
<746>,

against <4314> powers <1849>, against < 4314> the rulers

<2888> of the darkness <4655> of this < 5127> world
<165>,

against <4314> spiritual <4152> wickedness <4189> in
high

<2032> [places].

13 Wherefore <5124> take <353> unto you the whole
armour

<3833> of God <2316>, that ye may be able <1410> to

withstand <436> in the evil <4190> day < 2250>, and
having

done <2716> all <537>, to stand <2476> .

14 Stand <2476> therefore <3767>, having your <5216>
loins

<3751> girt <4024> about <4024> with truth <226>, and
having

<1746> on <1746> the breastplate < 2382> of
righteousness

<1343>;

15 And your <3588> feet <4228> shod < 5265> with the

preparation <2091> of the gospel <2098> of peace
<1515>;

16 Above <1909> all <3956>, taking < 353> the shield
<2375>

of faith <4102>, wherewith <3739> ye shall be able
<1410> to

quench <4570> all <3956> the fiery < 4448> darts <956>
of the

wicked <4190>.

17 And take <1209> the helmet <4030> of salvation
<4992>,

and the sword <3162> of the Spirit <4151>, which
<3739> is

the word <4487> of God <2316>:

18 Praying <4336> always <2540> with all <3956>
prayer

<4335> and supplication <1162> in the Spirit <4151>,
and

watching <69> thereunto <5124> with all < 3956>
perseverance

<4343> and supplication <1162> for all < 3956> saints
<40>;

19. And for me, that utterance <3056> may be given
<1325>

unto me, that I may open <457> my mouth < 4750> boldly

<3954>, to make <1107> known <1107> the mystery <3466>
of

the gospel <2098>,

20 For which <3739> I am an ambassador < 4243> in
bonds

<254>: that therein <846> I may speak boldly <3955>,
as I

ought <1163> to speak <2980>.

21 But that ye also <2532> may know <1492> my affairs

<2596>, [and] how <5101> I do <4238>, Tychicus <5190>,
a

beloved <27> brother <80> and faithful < 4103> minister

<1249> in the Lord <2962>, shall make < 1107> known
<1107> to

you all <3956> things:

22 Whom <3739> I have sent <3992> unto you for the
same

<846> purpose, that ye might know <1097> our affairs
<4012>,

and [that] he might comfort <3870> your < 5216> hearts

<2588>.

23 Peace <1515> [be] to the brethren <80>, and love
<26>

with faith <4102>, from God <2316> the Father <3962>
and the

Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> .

24 Grace <5485> [be] with all <3956> them that love
<25>

our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ < 5547> in sincerity

<861>. Amen <281>.
