6:1  Children, obey your fathers and mothers in the Lord, for this is right.
6:2  Honour your father and mother (which is the first commandment that has any promise with it),
6:3  so that you may prosper and live long on the earth.
6:4  And ye fathers, do not move your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
6:5  Servants, be obedient to your carnal masters with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ –
6:6  not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart with good will:
6:7  serving the Lord, and not men.
6:8  And remember, whatever good thing anyone does, that he will receive back again from the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
6:9  And ye masters, do the same toward your servants, putting away threatenings. And remember that even your master also is in heaven; neither is there any respect of person with him.
6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
6:11  Put on the armour of God so that you are able to stand steadfast against the crafty assaults of the devil.
6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against rule, against power; namely against the rulers of the world, of the darkness of this world; against spiritual wickedness, for heavenly things.
6:13  So then, take up the armour of God, so that you are able to resist in the evil day, and to stand perfect in all things.
6:14  Stand therefore, your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness,
6:15  and shod with shoes prepared by the gospel of peace.
6:16  Above all, take up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
6:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
6:18  And pray always with every sort of prayer and supplication, and that in the Spirit. And keep vigil also with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints –
6:19  and for me: that utterance may be given to me; that I may open my mouth boldly to utter the mystery of the gospel,
6:20  for which I am a messenger in bonds; that I may speak freely therein as I ought to speak.
6:21  But so that you may also know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will tell you everything,
6:22  whom I sent to you for this same purpose: so that you could know what circumstances I stand in, and so that he could comfort your hearts.
6:23  Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
6:24  Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in pureness. Amen. Sent from Rome to the Ephesians by the hand of Tychicus.
