Ephesians 6 Bible text

ASV: 1ASV

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

ASV: 2ASV

Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise),

ASV: 3ASV

that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

ASV: 4ASV

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.

ASV: 5ASV

Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

ASV: 6ASV

not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

ASV: 7ASV

with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men:

ASV: 8ASV

knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

ASV: 9ASV

And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.

ASV: 10ASV

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

ASV: 11ASV

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

ASV: 12ASV

For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

ASV: 13ASV

Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.

ASV: 14ASV

Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

ASV: 15ASV

and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

ASV: 16ASV

withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.

ASV: 17ASV

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

ASV: 18ASV

with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

ASV: 19ASV

and on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

ASV: 20ASV

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

ASV: 21ASV

But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:

ASV: 22ASV

whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.

ASV: 23ASV

Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

ASV: 24ASV

Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with a love incorruptible.
