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 <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>, 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>.
