Ephesians 1 1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <0652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> by the will <2307> of God <2316>, to the saints <0040> 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 <0040> and without <0299> blame <0299> before <2714> him in love <0026>: 5 Having predestinated <4309> us unto the adoption <5206> of children <5206> by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> to himself <0848>, 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 <0025>. 7 In whom <3739> we have <2192> redemption <0629> through <1223> his blood <0129>, the forgiveness <0859> 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 <0848>: 10 That in the dispensation <3622> of the fulness <4138> of times <2540> he might gather <0346> together <0346> 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 <0848> 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 <0191> the word <4487> of truth <0225>, 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 <0040> Spirit <4151> of promise <1860>, 14 Which <3739> is the earnest <0728> of our inheritance <2817> until <1519> the redemption <0629> of the purchased <4047> possession <4047>, unto the praise <1868> of his glory <1391>. 15. Wherefore <5124> I also <2504>, after I heard <0191> of your <5209> faith <4102> in the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and love <0026> unto all <3956> the saints <0040>, 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 <0602> 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 <0040>, 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 <0848> right <1188> hand in the heavenly <2032> [places], 21 Far <5231> above <5231> all <3956> principality <0746>, 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 <0165>, 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 <0266>; 2 Wherein <3757> in time <4218> past ye walked <4043> according <2596> to the course <0165> of this <5127> world <2889>, according <2596> to the prince <0758> of the power <1849> of the air <0109>, the spirit <4151> that now <3568> worketh <1754> in the children <5207> of disobedience <0543>: 3 Among <1722> whom <3739> also <2532> we all <3956> had our conversation <0390> 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 <0026> wherewith <3739> he loved <0025> 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 <0165> 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 <0018> 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 <0203> 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 <0526> 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 <0112> God <0112> 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 <0129> of Christ <5547>. 14. For he is our peace <1515>, who <3739> hath made <4160> both <0297> 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 <0444>, [so] making <4160> peace <1515>; 16 And that he might reconcile <0604> both <0297> unto God <2316> in one <1520> body <4983> by the cross <4716>, having slain <0615> the enmity <2189> thereby <0846>: 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 <0297> have <2192> access <4318> by one <1520> Spirit <4151> unto the Father <3962>. 19 Now <3767> therefore <0686> ye are no <3765> more <3765> strangers <3581> and foreigners <3941>, but fellowcitizens <4847> with the saints <0040>, and of the household <3609> of God <2316>; 20 And are built <2026> upon the foundation <2310> of the apostles <0652> and prophets <4396>, Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> himself <0848> being <5607> the chief <0204> corner <0204> [stone]; 21 In whom <3739> all <3956> the building <3619> fitly <4883> framed <4883> together <4883> groweth <0837> unto an holy <0040> 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 <0191> 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 <0602> 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 <0314>, 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 <0444>, as it is now <3568> revealed <0601> unto his holy <0040> apostles <0652> 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 <0040>, is this <3778> grace <5485> given <1325>, that I should preach <2097> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484> the unsearchable <0421> 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 <0165> hath been hid <0613> 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 <0746> 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 <0165> 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 <0154> 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 <0444>; 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 <0026>, 18 May be able <1840> to comprehend <2638> with all <3956> saints <0040> what <5101> [is] the breadth <4114>, and length <3372>, and depth <0899>, and height <5311>; 19 And to know <1097> the love <0026> 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 <0154> 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 <0165> without end <0165>. Amen <0281>. Ephesians 4 1. I therefore <3767>, the prisoner <1198> of the Lord <2962>, beseech <3870> you that ye walk <4043> worthy <0516> of the vocation <2821> wherewith <3739> ye are called <2564>, 2. With all <3956> lowliness <5012> and meekness <4236>, with longsuffering <3115>, forbearing <0430> one <0240> another <0240> in love <0026>; 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 <0908>, 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 <0305> up on <5311> high <5311>, he led <0162> captivity <0161> captive <0162>, and gave <1325> gifts <1390> unto men <0444>. 9 (Now that he ascended <0305>, 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 <0305> 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 <0652>; 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 <0040>, 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 <0435>, 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 <0417> of doctrine <1319>, by the sleight <2940> of men <0444>, [and] cunning craftiness <3834>, whereby <4314> they lie <3180> in wait <3180> to deceive <4106>; 15 But speaking <0226> the truth <0226> in love <0026>, may grow <0837> 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 <0860> supplieth <2024>, according <2596> to the effectual <1753> working <1753> in the measure <3358> of every <1538> part <3313>, maketh <4160> increase <0838> of the body <4983> unto the edifying <3619> of itself <1438> in love <0026>. 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 <0526> from the life <2222> of God <2316> through <1223> the ignorance <0052> that is in them, because <1223> of the blindness <4457> of their heart <2588>: 19 Who <3748> being past <0524> feeling <0524> have given <3860> themselves <1438> over <3860> unto lasciviousness <0766>, to work <2039> all <3956> uncleanness <0167> with greediness <4124>. 20 But ye have not so <3779> learned <3129> Christ <5547>; 21 If <1489> so <3779> be that ye have heard <0191> him, and have been taught <1321> by him, as the truth <0225> is in Jesus <2424>: 22 That ye put <0659> off <0659> concerning <2596> the former <4387> conversation <0391> the old <3820> man <0444>, which <3588> is corrupt <5351> according <2596> to the deceitful <0539> lusts <1939>; 23 And be renewed <0365> in the spirit <4151> of your <5216> mind <3563>; 24 And that ye put <1746> on <1746> the new <2537> man <0444>, which <3588> after <2596> God <2316> is created <2936> in righteousness <1343> and true <0225> holiness <3742>. 25 Wherefore <1352> putting <0659> away <0659> lying <5579>, speak <2980> every <1538> man truth <0226> with his neighbour <4139>: for we are members <3196> one <0240> of another <0240>. 26 Be ye angry <3710>, and sin <0264> 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 <0018>, 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 <0018> to the use <5532> of edifying <3619>, that it may minister <1325> grace <5485> unto the hearers <0191>. 30 And grieve <3076> not the holy <0040> Spirit <4151> of God <2316>, whereby <3739> ye are sealed <4972> unto the day <2250> of redemption <0629>. 31 Let all <3956> bitterness <4088>, and wrath <2372>, and anger <3709>, and clamour <2906>, and evil <0988> speaking <0988>, be put <0142> away from you, with all <3956> malice <2549>: 32 And be ye kind <5543> one <0240> to another <0240>, tenderhearted <2155>, forgiving <5483> one <1438> another <1438>, even <2532> as God <2316> for Christ's <5547> sake <1722> hath forgiven <5483> you.

Be ye therefore <3767> followers <3402> of God <2316>, as dear <0027> children <5043>; 2 And walk <4043> in love <0026>, as Christ <5547> also <2532> hath loved <0026> 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 <0167>, or <2228> covetousness <4124>, let it not be once <3366> named <3687> among <1722> you, as becometh <4241> saints <0040>; 4 Neither <3756> filthiness <0151>, nor <2532> foolish <3473> talking <3473>, nor <2228> jesting <2160>, which <3588> are not convenient <0433>: but rather <3123> giving of thanks <2169>. 5 For this <5124> ye know <1097>, that no <3756> whoremonger <4205>, nor <2228> unclean <0169> person, nor <2228> covetous <4123> man, who <3739> is an idolater <1496>, hath <2192> any inheritance <2817> in the kingdom <0932> of Christ <5547> and of God <2316>. 6 Let no <3367> man <3367> deceive <0538> 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 <0543>. 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 <0019> and righteousness <1343> and truth <0226>; ) 10 Proving <1381> what <5101> is acceptable <2101> unto the Lord <2962>. 11 And have no <3361> fellowship <4790> with the unfruitful <0175> works <2041> of darkness <4655>, but rather <3123> reprove <1651> [them]. 12 For it is a shame <0149> 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 <0450> from the dead <3498>, and Christ <5547> shall give thee light <2017>. 15 See <0991> then <3767> that ye walk <4043> circumspectly <0199>, not as fools <0781>, 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 <0878>, 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 <0810>; 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 <0103> 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 <0240> to another <0240> in the fear <5401> of God <2316>. 22 Wives <1135>, submit <5293> yourselves unto your <3588> own <2398> husbands <0435>, as unto the Lord <2962>. 23 For the husband <0435> 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 <0235> as the church <1577> is subject <5293> unto Christ <5547>, so <3779> [let] the wives <1135> [be] to their own <2398> husbands <0435> in every <3956> thing. 25 Husbands <0435>, love <0025> your <1438> wives <1135>, even <2531> as Christ <5547> also <2532> loved <0025> the church <1577>, and gave <3860> himself <1438> for it; 26 That he might sanctify <0037> 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 <0040> and without <0299> blemish <0299>. 28 So <3779> ought <3784> men <0435> to love <0025> their wives <1135> as their own <1438> bodies <4983>. He that loveth <0025> his wife <1135> loveth <0025> 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 <0873> shall a man <0444> 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 <0025> his wife <1135> even <5613> as himself <1438>; and the wife <1135> [see] that she reverence <5399> [her] husband <0435>. 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 <0572> of your <5216> heart <2588>, as unto Christ <5547>; 6 Not with eyeservice <3787>, as menpleasers <0441>; 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 <0444>: 8 Knowing <1492> that whatsoever <5100> good <0018> 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 <0846> things unto them, forbearing <0447> threatening <0547>: 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 <0080>, 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 <0129>, but against <4314> principalities <0746>, against <4314> powers <1849>, against <4314> the rulers <2888> of the darkness <4655> of this <5127> world <0165>, against <4314> spiritual <4152> wickedness <4189> in high <2032> [places]. 13 Wherefore <5124> take <0353> unto you the whole armour <3833> of God <2316>, that ye may be able <1410> to withstand <0436> in the evil <4190> day <2250>, and having done <2716> all <0537>, to stand <2476>. 14 Stand <2476> therefore <3767>, having your <5216> loins <3751> girt <4024> about <4024> with truth <0226>, 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 <0353> the shield <2375> of faith <4102>, wherewith <3739> ye shall be able <1410> to quench <4570> all <3956> the fiery <4448> darts <0956> 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 <0069> thereunto <5124> with all <3956> perseverance <4343> and supplication <1162> for all <3956> saints <0040>; 19. And for me, that utterance <3056> may be given <1325> unto me, that I may open <0457> 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 <0254>: that therein <0846> 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 <0027> brother <0080> 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 <0846> 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 <0080>, and love <0026> 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 <0025> our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> in sincerity <0861>. Amen <0281>.   ~~~~~~
