BB EPH Chapter 6

6 Chyldren, obey your fathers and mothers in the Lorde: for this is ryght. 2 Honour thy father and mother (whiche is the first commaundement in promise) 3 That thou mayest prosper, and lyue long on earth. 4 Fathers prouoke not your children to wrath: but bring them vp in instruction and information of the Lorde. 5 Seruauntes obey them that are your bodyly maisters, with feare and tremblyng, in singlenesse of your heart, as vnto Christe. 6 Not with seruice vnto the eye, as men pleasers: but as the seruautes of Christ. 7 Doyng the wyll of God fro the heart, with good wyll seruyng the Lorde, and not men: 8 Knowyng, that whatsoeuer good thyng any man doeth, that shall he receaue agayne of the Lorde, whether he be bonde or free. 9 And ye maisters do the same thynges vnto them, puttyng away threatnyng: knowyng that your maister also is in heauen, neither is respecte of person with hym. 10 Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lorde, & in the power of his might. 11 Put on all the armour of God, that ye may stande agaynst the assaultes of the deuyll. 12 For we wrastle not agaynst blood & flesshe: but agaynst rule, agaynst power, agaynst worldly gouernours of the darknesse of this worlde, agaynst spirituall craftynesse in heauenly places. 13 Wherfore take vnto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the euyll day, and hauing finished all thynges, to stande fast. 14 Stande therfore, hauyng loynes girt about with the trueth, and puttyng on the brest plate of righteousnesse, 15 And hauyng your feete shodde, in the preparation of the Gospell of peace. 16 Aboue all, takyng the shielde of fayth, wherwith ye may quenche all the fierie dartes of the wicked: 17 And take the helmet of saluation, and the sworde of the spirite, whiche is the worde of God. 18 Praying alwayes in all prayer and supplication in the spirite, and watche thervnto with all instaunce and supplication, for all saintes, 19 And for me, that vtteraunce may be geue vnto me, yt I may open my mouth freely, to vtter ye secretes of the Gospell. 20 Whereof I am messenger in bondes, that therein I may speake freely, as I ought to speake. 21 But yt ye may also knowe my affaires, and what I do, Tichicus a deare brother and faythfull minister in the Lord, shall shewe you all thynges: 22 Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose, that ye myght knowe of our affaires, and that he myght comfort your heartes. 23 Peace be vnto the brethren, and loue, with fayth, from God the father, and from the Lorde Iesus Christe. 24 Grace be with all them whiche loue our Lorde Iesus Christe in sinceritie. Amen. Sent from Rome vnto the Ephesians, by Tichicus.
