/1-1- PAUL
AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST BY THE WILL OF GOD
TO THE SAINTS WHICH ARE AT EPHESUS
AND TO THE FAITHFUL IN CHRIST JESUS-
/1-2- GRACE BE TO YOU
AND PEACE
FROM GOD OUR FATHER
AND FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
/1-3- BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
WHO HATH BLESSED US WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST-
/1-4- ACCORDING AS HE HATH CHOSEN US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
THAT WE SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLAME BEFORE HIM IN LOVE-
/1-5- HAVING PREDESTINATED US UNTO THE ADOPTION OF CHILDREN BY JESUS CHRIST TO HIMSELF
ACCORDING TO THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS WILL
/1-6- TO THE PRAISE OF THE GLORY OF HIS GRACE
WHEREIN HE HATH MADE US ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED.
/1-7- IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD
THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS
ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE
/1-8- WHEREIN HE HATH ABOUNDED TOWARD US IN ALL WISDOM AND PRUDENCE
/1-9- HAVING MADE KNOWN UNTO US THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL
ACCORDING TO HIS GOOD PLEASURE WHICH HE HATH PURPOSED IN HIMSELF-
/1-10- THAT IN THE DISPENSATION OF THE FULNESS OF TIMES HE MIGHT GATHER TOGETHER IN ONE ALL THINGS IN CHRIST
BOTH WHICH ARE IN HEAVEN
AND WHICH ARE ON EARTH EVEN IN HIM-
/1-11- IN WHOM ALSO WE HAVE OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE
BEING PREDESTINATED ACCORDING TO THE PURPOSE OF HIM WHO WORKETH ALL THINGS AFTER THE COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL-
/1-12- THAT WE SHOULD BE TO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY
WHO FIRST TRUSTED IN CHRIST.
/1-13- IN WHOM YE ALSO TRUSTED
AFTER THAT YE HEARD THE WORD OF TRUTH
THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION- IN WHOM ALSO AFTER THAT YE BELIEVED
YE WERE SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE
/1-14- WHICH IS THE EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE UNTIL THE REDEMPTION OF THE PURCHASED POSSESSION
UNTO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY.
/1-15- WHEREFORE I ALSO
AFTER I HEARD OF YOUR FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS
AND LOVE UNTO ALL THE SAINTS
/1-16- CEASE NOT TO GIVE THANKS FOR YOU
MAKING MENTION OF YOU IN MY PRAYERS
/1-17- THAT THE GOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
THE FATHER OF GLORY
MAY GIVE UNTO YOU THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM-
/1-18- THE EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING BEING ENLIGHTENED THAT YE MAY KNOW WHAT IS THE HOPE OF HIS CALLING
AND WHAT THE RICHES OF THE GLORY OF HIS INHERITANCE IN THE SAINTS
/1-19- AND WHAT IS THE EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF HIS POWER TO US-WARD WHO BELIEVE
ACCORDING TO THE WORKING OF HIS MIGHTY POWER
/1-20- WHICH HE WROUGHT IN CHRIST
WHEN HE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD
AND SET HIM AT HIS OWN RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES
/1-21- FAR ABOVE ALL PRINCIPALITY
AND POWER
AND MIGHT
AND DOMINION
AND EVERY NAME THAT IS NAMED
NOT ONLY IN THIS WORLD
BUT ALSO IN THAT WHICH IS TO COME-
/1-22- AND HATH PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET
AND GAVE HIM TO BE THE HEAD OVER ALL THINGS TO THE CHURCH
/1-23- WHICH IS HIS BODY
THE FULNESS OF HIM THAT FILLETH ALL IN ALL.
/2-1- AND YOU HATH HE QUICKENED
WHO WERE DEAD IN TRESPASSES AND SINS
/2-2- WHEREIN IN TIME PAST YE WALKED ACCORDING TO THE COURSE OF THIS WORLD
ACCORDING TO THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR
THE SPIRIT THAT NOW WORKETH IN THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE-
/2-3- AMONG WHOM ALSO WE ALL HAD OUR CONVERSATION IN TIMES PAST IN THE LUSTS OF OUR FLESH
FULFILLING THE DESIRES OF THE FLESH AND OF THE MIND AND WERE BY NATURE THE CHILDREN OF WRATH
EVEN AS OTHERS.
/2-4- BUT GOD
WHO IS RICH IN MERCY
FOR HIS GREAT LOVE WHEREWITH HE LOVED US
/2-5- EVEN WHEN WE WERE DEAD IN SINS
HATH QUICKENED US TOGETHER WITH CHRIST
(BY GRACE YE ARE SAVED)
/2-6- AND HATH RAISED US UP TOGETHER
AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS-
/2-7- THAT IN THE AGES TO COME HE MIGHT SHEW THE EXCEEDING RICHES OF HIS GRACE IN HIS KINDNESS TOWARD US THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.
/2-8- FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES- IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD-
/2-9- NOT OF WORKS
LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.
/2-10- FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP
CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS
WHICH GOD HATH BEFORE ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.
/2-11- WHEREFORE REMEMBER
THAT YE BEING IN TIME PAST GENTILES IN THE FLESH
WHO ARE CALLED UNCIRCUMCISION BY THAT WHICH IS CALLED THE CIRCUMCISION IN THE FLESH MADE BY HANDS
/2-12- THAT AT THAT TIME YE WERE WITHOUT CHRIST
BEING ALIENS FROM THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL
AND STRANGERS FROM THE COVENANTS OF PROMISE
HAVING NO HOPE
AND WITHOUT GOD IN THE WORLD-
/2-13- BUT NOW IN CHRIST JESUS YE WHO SOMETIMES WERE FAR OFF ARE MADE NIGH BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.
/2-14- FOR HE IS OUR PEACE
WHO HATH MADE BOTH ONE
AND HATH BROKEN DOWN THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION BETWEEN US
/2-15- HAVING ABOLISHED IN HIS FLESH THE ENMITY
EVEN THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES FOR TO MAKE IN HIMSELF OF TWAIN ONE NEW MAN
SO MAKING PEACE
/2-16- AND THAT HE MIGHT RECONCILE BOTH UNTO GOD IN ONE BODY BY THE CROSS
HAVING SLAIN THE ENMITY THEREBY-
/2-17- AND CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHICH WERE AFAR OFF
AND TO THEM THAT WERE NIGH.
/2-18- FOR THROUGH HIM WE BOTH HAVE ACCESS BY ONE SPIRIT UNTO THE FATHER.
/2-19- NOW THEREFORE YE ARE NO MORE STRANGERS AND FOREIGNERS
BUT FELLOWCITIZENS WITH THE SAINTS
AND OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD
/2-20- AND ARE BUILT UPON THE FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS
JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BEING THE CHIEF CORNER STONE
/2-21- IN WHOM ALL THE BUILDING FITLY FRAMED TOGETHER GROWETH UNTO AN HOLY TEMPLE IN THE LORD-
/2-22- IN WHOM YE ALSO ARE BUILDED TOGETHER FOR AN HABITATION OF GOD THROUGH THE SPIRIT.
/3-1- FOR THIS CAUSE I PAUL
THE PRISONER OF JESUS CHRIST FOR YOU GENTILES
/3-2- IF YE HAVE HEARD OF THE DISPENSATION OF THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN ME TO YOU-WARD-
/3-3- HOW THAT BY REVELATION HE MADE KNOWN UNTO ME THE MYSTERY (AS I WROTE AFORE IN FEW WORDS
/3-4- WHEREBY
WHEN YE READ
YE MAY UNDERSTAND MY KNOWLEDGE IN THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST)
/3-5- WHICH IN OTHER AGES WAS NOT MADE KNOWN UNTO THE SONS OF MEN
AS IT IS NOW REVEALED UNTO HIS HOLY APOSTLES AND PROPHETS BY THE SPIRIT
/3-6- THAT THE GENTILES SHOULD BE FELLOWHEIRS
AND OF THE SAME BODY
AND PARTAKERS OF HIS PROMISE IN CHRIST BY THE GOSPEL-
/3-7- WHEREOF I WAS MADE A MINISTER
ACCORDING TO THE GIFT OF THE GRACE OF GOD GIVEN UNTO ME BY THE EFFECTUAL WORKING OF HIS POWER.
/3-8- UNTO ME
WHO AM LESS THAN THE LEAST OF ALL SAINTS
IS THIS GRACE GIVEN
THAT I SHOULD PREACH AMONG THE GENTILES THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF CHRIST
/3-9- AND TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE WHAT IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY
WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN HID IN GOD
WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST-
/3-10- TO THE INTENT THAT NOW UNTO THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS IN HEAVENLY PLACES MIGHT BE KNOWN BY THE CHURCH THE MANIFOLD WISDOM OF GOD
/3-11- ACCORDING TO THE ETERNAL PURPOSE WHICH HE PURPOSED IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD-
/3-12- IN WHOM WE HAVE BOLDNESS AND ACCESS WITH CONFIDENCE BY THE FAITH OF HIM.
/3-13- WHEREFORE I DESIRE THAT YE FAINT NOT AT MY TRIBULATIONS FOR YOU
WHICH IS YOUR GLORY.
/3-14- FOR THIS CAUSE I BOW MY KNEES UNTO THE FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
/3-15- OF WHOM THE WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS NAMED
/3-16- THAT HE WOULD GRANT YOU
ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GLORY
TO BE STRENGTHENED WITH MIGHT BY HIS SPIRIT IN THE INNER MAN
/3-17- THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS BY FAITH THAT YE
BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE
/3-18- MAY BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND WITH ALL SAINTS WHAT IS THE BREADTH
AND LENGTH
AND DEPTH
AND HEIGHT
/3-19- AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST
WHICH PASSETH KNOWLEDGE
THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD.
/3-20- NOW UNTO HIM THAT IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK
ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US
/3-21- UNTO HIM BE GLORY IN THE CHURCH BY CHRIST JESUS THROUGHOUT ALL AGES
WORLD WITHOUT END. AMEN.
/4-1- I THEREFORE
THE PRISONER OF THE LORD
BESEECH YOU THAT YE WALK WORTHY OF THE VOCATION WHEREWITH YE ARE CALLED
/4-2- WITH ALL LOWLINESS AND MEEKNESS
WITH LONGSUFFERING
FORBEARING ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE
/4-3- ENDEAVOURING TO KEEP THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT IN THE BOND OF PEACE.
/4-4- THERE IS ONE BODY
AND ONE SPIRIT
EVEN AS YE ARE CALLED IN ONE HOPE OF YOUR CALLING
/4-5- ONE LORD
ONE FAITH
ONE BAPTISM
/4-6- ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL
WHO IS ABOVE ALL
AND THROUGH ALL
AND IN YOU ALL.
/4-7- BUT UNTO EVERY ONE OF US IS GIVEN GRACE ACCORDING TO THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT OF CHRIST.
/4-8- WHEREFORE HE SAITH
WHEN HE ASCENDED UP ON HIGH
HE LED CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE
AND GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN.
/4-9- (NOW THAT HE ASCENDED
WHAT IS IT BUT THAT HE ALSO DESCENDED FIRST INTO THE LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH?
/4-10- HE THAT DESCENDED IS THE SAME ALSO THAT ASCENDED UP FAR ABOVE ALL HEAVENS
THAT HE MIGHT FILL ALL THINGS.)
/4-11- AND HE GAVE SOME
APOSTLES AND SOME
PROPHETS AND SOME
EVANGELISTS AND SOME
PASTORS AND TEACHERS
/4-12- FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS
FOR THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY
FOR THE EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST-
/4-13- TILL WE ALL COME IN THE UNITY OF THE FAITH
AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD
UNTO A PERFECT MAN
UNTO THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULNESS OF CHRIST-
/4-14- THAT WE HENCEFORTH BE NO MORE CHILDREN
TOSSED TO AND FRO
AND CARRIED ABOUT WITH EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE
BY THE SLEIGHT OF MEN
AND CUNNING CRAFTINESS
WHEREBY THEY LIE IN WAIT TO DECEIVE
/4-15- BUT SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE
MAY GROW UP INTO HIM IN ALL THINGS
WHICH IS THE HEAD
EVEN CHRIST-
/4-16- FROM WHOM THE WHOLE BODY FITLY JOINED TOGETHER AND COMPACTED BY THAT WHICH EVERY JOINT SUPPLIETH
ACCORDING TO THE EFFECTUAL WORKING IN THE MEASURE OF EVERY PART
MAKETH INCREASE OF THE BODY UNTO THE EDIFYING OF ITSELF IN LOVE.
/4-17- THIS I SAY THEREFORE
AND TESTIFY IN THE LORD
THAT YE HENCEFORTH WALK NOT AS OTHER GENTILES WALK
IN THE VANITY OF THEIR MIND
/4-18- HAVING THE UNDERSTANDING DARKENED
BEING ALIENATED FROM THE LIFE OF GOD THROUGH THE IGNORANCE THAT IS IN THEM
BECAUSE OF THE BLINDNESS OF THEIR HEART-
/4-19- WHO BEING PAST FEELING HAVE GIVEN THEMSELVES OVER UNTO LASCIVIOUSNESS
TO WORK ALL UNCLEANNESS WITH GREEDINESS.
/4-20- BUT YE HAVE NOT SO LEARNED CHRIST
/4-21- IF SO BE THAT YE HAVE HEARD HIM
AND HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BY HIM
AS THE TRUTH IS IN JESUS-
/4-22- THAT YE PUT OFF CONCERNING THE FORMER CONVERSATION THE OLD MAN
WHICH IS CORRUPT ACCORDING TO THE DECEITFUL LUSTS
/4-23- AND BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND
/4-24- AND THAT YE PUT ON THE NEW MAN
WHICH AFTER GOD IS CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS.
/4-25- WHEREFORE PUTTING AWAY LYING
SPEAK EVERY MAN TRUTH WITH HIS NEIGHBOUR- FOR WE ARE MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER.
/4-26- BE YE ANGRY
AND SIN NOT- LET NOT THE SUN GO DOWN UPON YOUR WRATH-
/4-27- NEITHER GIVE PLACE TO THE DEVIL.
/4-28- LET HIM THAT STOLE STEAL NO MORE- BUT RATHER LET HIM LABOUR
WORKING WITH HIS HANDS THE THING WHICH IS GOOD
THAT HE MAY HAVE TO GIVE TO HIM THAT NEEDETH.
/4-29- LET NO CORRUPT COMMUNICATION PROCEED OUT OF YOUR MOUTH
BUT THAT WHICH IS GOOD TO THE USE OF EDIFYING
THAT IT MAY MINISTER GRACE UNTO THE HEARERS.
/4-30- AND GRIEVE NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD
WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED UNTO THE DAY OF REDEMPTION.
/4-31- LET ALL BITTERNESS
AND WRATH
AND ANGER
AND CLAMOUR
AND EVIL SPEAKING
BE PUT AWAY FROM YOU
WITH ALL MALICE-
/4-32- AND BE YE KIND ONE TO ANOTHER
TENDERHEARTED
FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER
EVEN AS GOD FOR CHRIST'S SAKE HATH FORGIVEN YOU.
/5-1- BE YE THEREFORE FOLLOWERS OF GOD
AS DEAR CHILDREN
/5-2- AND WALK IN LOVE
AS CHRIST ALSO HATH LOVED US
AND HATH GIVEN HIMSELF FOR US AN OFFERING AND A SACRIFICE TO GOD FOR A SWEETSMELLING SAVOUR.
/5-3- BUT FORNICATION
AND ALL UNCLEANNESS
OR COVETOUSNESS
LET IT NOT BE ONCE NAMED AMONG YOU
AS BECOMETH SAINTS
/5-4- NEITHER FILTHINESS
NOR FOOLISH TALKING
NOR JESTING
WHICH ARE NOT CONVENIENT- BUT RATHER GIVING OF THANKS.
/5-5- FOR THIS YE KNOW
THAT NO WHOREMONGER
NOR UNCLEAN PERSON
NOR COVETOUS MAN
WHO IS AN IDOLATER
HATH ANY INHERITANCE IN THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST AND OF GOD.
/5-6- LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU WITH VAIN WORDS- FOR BECAUSE OF THESE THINGS COMETH THE WRATH OF GOD UPON THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE.
/5-7- BE NOT YE THEREFORE PARTAKERS WITH THEM.
/5-8- FOR YE WERE SOMETIMES DARKNESS
BUT NOW ARE YE LIGHT IN THE LORD- WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT-
/5-9- (FOR THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH)
/5-10- PROVING WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE UNTO THE LORD.
/5-11- AND HAVE NO FELLOWSHIP WITH THE UNFRUITFUL WORKS OF DARKNESS
BUT RATHER REPROVE THEM.
/5-12- FOR IT IS A SHAME EVEN TO SPEAK OF THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE DONE OF THEM IN SECRET.
/5-13- BUT ALL THINGS THAT ARE REPROVED ARE MADE MANIFEST BY THE LIGHT- FOR WHATSOEVER DOTH MAKE MANIFEST IS LIGHT.
/5-14- WHEREFORE HE SAITH
AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST
AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD
AND CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT.
/5-15- SEE THEN THAT YE WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY
NOT AS FOOLS
BUT AS WISE
/5-16- REDEEMING THE TIME
BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL.
/5-17- WHEREFORE BE YE NOT UNWISE
BUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS.
/5-18- AND BE NOT DRUNK WITH WINE
WHEREIN IS EXCESS BUT BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT
/5-19- SPEAKING TO YOURSELVES IN PSALMS AND HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS
SINGING AND MAKING MELODY IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD
/5-20- GIVING THANKS ALWAYS FOR ALL THINGS UNTO GOD AND THE FATHER IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
/5-21- SUBMITTING YOURSELVES ONE TO ANOTHER IN THE FEAR OF GOD.
/5-22- WIVES
SUBMIT YOURSELVES UNTO YOUR OWN HUSBANDS
AS UNTO THE LORD.
/5-23- FOR THE HUSBAND IS THE HEAD OF THE WIFE
EVEN AS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH- AND HE IS THE SAVIOUR OF THE BODY.
/5-24- THEREFORE AS THE CHURCH IS SUBJECT UNTO CHRIST
SO LET THE WIVES BE TO THEIR OWN HUSBANDS IN EVERY THING.
/5-25- HUSBANDS
LOVE YOUR WIVES
EVEN AS CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH
AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT
/5-26- THAT HE MIGHT SANCTIFY AND CLEANSE IT WITH THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD
/5-27- THAT HE MIGHT PRESENT IT TO HIMSELF A GLORIOUS CHURCH
NOT HAVING SPOT
OR WRINKLE
OR ANY SUCH THING BUT THAT IT SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLEMISH.
/5-28- SO OUGHT MEN TO LOVE THEIR WIVES AS THEIR OWN BODIES. HE THAT LOVETH HIS WIFE LOVETH HIMSELF.
/5-29- FOR NO MAN EVER YET HATED HIS OWN FLESH BUT NOURISHETH AND CHERISHETH IT
EVEN AS THE LORD THE CHURCH-
/5-30- FOR WE ARE MEMBERS OF HIS BODY
OF HIS FLESH
AND OF HIS BONES.
/5-31- FOR THIS CAUSE SHALL A MAN LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER
AND SHALL BE JOINED UNTO HIS WIFE
AND THEY TWO SHALL BE ONE FLESH.
/5-32- THIS IS A GREAT MYSTERY- BUT I SPEAK CONCERNING CHRIST AND THE CHURCH.
/5-33- NEVERTHELESS LET EVERY ONE OF YOU IN PARTICULAR SO LOVE HIS WIFE EVEN AS HIMSELF AND THE WIFE SEE THAT SHE REVERENCE HER HUSBAND.
/6-1- CHILDREN
OBEY YOUR PARENTS IN THE LORD- FOR THIS IS RIGHT.
/6-2- HONOUR THY FATHER AND MOTHER (WHICH IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT WITH PROMISE)
/6-3- THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH THEE
AND THOU MAYEST LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH.
/6-4- AND
YE FATHERS
PROVOKE NOT YOUR CHILDREN TO WRATH- BUT BRING THEM UP IN THE NURTURE AND ADMONITION OF THE LORD.
/6-5- SERVANTS
BE OBEDIENT TO THEM THAT ARE YOUR MASTERS ACCORDING TO THE FLESH
WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING
IN SINGLENESS OF YOUR HEART
AS UNTO CHRIST
/6-6- NOT WITH EYESERVICE
AS MENPLEASERS BUT AS THE SERVANTS OF CHRIST
DOING THE WILL OF GOD FROM THE HEART
/6-7- WITH GOOD WILL DOING SERVICE
AS TO THE LORD
AND NOT TO MEN-
/6-8- KNOWING THAT WHATSOEVER GOOD THING ANY MAN DOETH
THE SAME SHALL HE RECEIVE OF THE LORD
WHETHER HE BE BOND OR FREE.
/6-9- AND
YE 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.
/6-10- FINALLY
MY BRETHREN
BE STRONG IN THE LORD
AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT.
/6-11- PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD
THAT YE MAY BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL.
/6-12- FOR WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD
BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES
AGAINST POWERS
AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD
AGAINST SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.
/6-13- WHEREFORE TAKE UNTO YOU THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD
THAT YE MAY BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND IN THE EVIL DAY
AND HAVING DONE ALL
TO STAND.
/6-14- STAND THEREFORE
HAVING YOUR LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH
AND HAVING ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
/6-15- AND YOUR FEET SHOD WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE
/6-16- ABOVE ALL
TAKING THE SHIELD OF FAITH
WHEREWITH YE SHALL BE ABLE TO QUENCH ALL THE FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED.
/6-17- AND TAKE THE HELMET OF SALVATION
AND THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD-
/6-18- PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION IN THE SPIRIT
AND WATCHING THEREUNTO WITH ALL PERSEVERANCE AND SUPPLICATION FOR ALL SAINTS
/6-19- 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
/6-20- FOR WHICH I AM AN AMBASSADOR IN BONDS- THAT THEREIN I MAY SPEAK BOLDLY
AS I OUGHT TO SPEAK.
/6-21- BUT THAT YE ALSO MAY KNOW MY AFFAIRS
AND HOW I DO
TYCHICUS
A BELOVED BROTHER AND FAITHFUL MINISTER IN THE LORD
SHALL MAKE KNOWN TO YOU ALL THINGS-
/6-22- WHOM I HAVE SENT UNTO YOU FOR THE SAME PURPOSE
THAT YE MIGHT KNOW OUR AFFAIRS
AND THAT HE MIGHT COMFORT YOUR HEARTS.
/6-23- PEACE BE TO THE BRETHREN
AND LOVE WITH FAITH
FROM GOD THE FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
/6-24- GRACE BE WITH ALL THEM THAT LOVE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN SINCERITY. AMEN.
