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

2 Honour youri father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)

3 That it may be well with youi, and youi may live long on the earth.

4 And, you2f fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord - Kurios.

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 Moshiach [Messiah];

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Moshiach [Messiah], doing the will of God-The Father from the heart;

7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord - Kurios, and not to men:

8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord - Kurios, whether [he be] bond or free.

9 And, you2f 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 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord - Kurios, and in the power of his might.

11 Put [a bow] on the whole armour of God-The Father, that you2f may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against Principalities (rulers or their territory), against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against wicked spirits in high [places].

13 For what reason take unto you the whole armour of God-The Father, that you2f may be able that is to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your waist wrapped around about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel (joyful message) of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, which you2f shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit [Ruach], which is the word of God-The Father:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit [Ruach], and watching thereunthat is to sayh all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

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 (joyful message),

20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

21 But that you2f also may know my affairs, [and] how I do, Tychicus [fateful], a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord - Kurios, shall make known to you all things:

22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that you2f might know our affairs, and [that] he might comfort your hearts.

23 Peace [be] to the brethren, and love with faith, from God-The Father the Father and the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].

24 Grace [be] with all them that love our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] in with incorruption. Amen. <To [the] Ephesians [permitted] written from Rome [strength], by Tychicus [fateful].>
