1Children, obey your parents in the Lord - Kurios: for this is right. 2Honour yourⁱ father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3That it may be well with youⁱ, and youⁱ may live long on the earth.

4And, you^2f fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord - Kurios.

5Servants, 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]; 6Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Moshiach [Messiah], doing the will of God-The Father from the heart; 7With good will doing service, as to the Lord - Kurios, and not to men: 8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord - Kurios, whether [he be] bond or free.

9And, you^2f 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.

10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord - Kurios, and in the power of his might. 11Put [a bow] on the whole armour of God-The Father, that you^2f may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For 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]. 13For what reason take unto you the whole armour of God-The Father, that you^2f may be able that is to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your waist wrapped around about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel (joyful message) of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, which you^2f shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit [Ruach], which is the word of God-The Father:

18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit [Ruach], and watching thereunthat is to sayh all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19And 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), 20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

21But that you^2f 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: 22Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that you^2f might know our affairs, and [that] he might comfort your hearts.

23Peace [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]. 24Grace [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].]]
