| [1]Children, obey your parents in our Lord; for this is right. |
[1]Τὰ τέκνα, ὑπακούετε τοῖς γονεῦσιν ὑμῶν ἐν κυρίῳ, τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν δίκαιον· |
| [2]And the first commandment with promise, is this: Honor thy father and thy mother; |
[2]τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα, ἥτις ἐστὶν ἐντολὴ πρώτη ἐν ἐπαγγελίᾳ, |
| [3]that it may be well with thee, and that thy life may be prolonged on the earth. |
[3]ἵνα εὖ σοι γένηται καὶ ἔσῃ μακροχρόνιος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. |
| [4]And parents, anger not your children; but train them up in the discipline and doctrine of our Lord. |
[4]Καὶ οἱ πατέρες, μὴ παροργίζετε τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν, ἀλλὰ ἐκτρέφετε αὐτὰ ἐν παιδείᾳ καὶ νουθεσίᾳ κυρίου. |
| [5]Servants, be obedient to your masters after the flesh, with fear, and with trepidation, and with simplicity of heart, as unto the Messiah. |
[5]Οἱ δοῦλοι, ὑπακούετε τοῖς ⸂κατὰ σάρκα κυρίοις⸃ μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου ἐν ἁπλότητι τῆς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὡς τῷ Χριστῷ, |
| [6]Not in the sight of the eye, as if ye were pleasing men; but as the servants of the Messiah, who are doing the will of God. |
[6]μὴ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοδουλίαν ὡς ἀνθρωπάρεσκοι ἀλλʼ ὡς ⸀δοῦλοι Χριστοῦ ποιοῦντες τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ, ἐκ ψυχῆς |
| [7]And serve them with your whole heart, in love, as if serving our Lord and not men; |
[7]μετʼ εὐνοίας δουλεύοντες, ὡς τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις, |
| [8]knowing that whatever good thing a man may do, the same will be recompensed to him by our Lord, whether he be a servant or a free man. |
[8]εἰδότες ὅτι ⸂ἕκαστος, ὃ ἂν⸃ ποιήσῃ ἀγαθόν, τοῦτο ⸀κομίσεται ⸀παρὰ κυρίου, εἴτε δοῦλος εἴτε ἐλεύθερος. |
| [9]Also ye masters, do ye so to your servants. Forgive them a fault; because ye know, that ye have a master in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him. |
[9]Καὶ οἱ κύριοι, τὰ αὐτὰ ποιεῖτε πρὸς αὐτούς, ἀνιέντες τὴν ἀπειλήν, εἰδότες ὅτι καὶ ⸂αὐτῶν καὶ ὑμῶν⸃ ὁ κύριός ἐστιν ἐν οὐρανοῖς, καὶ προσωπολημψία οὐκ ἔστιν παρʼ αὐτῷ. |
| [10]Finally, my brethren, be strong in our Lord, and; in the energy of his power: |
[10]⸂Τοῦ λοιποῦ⸃ ἐνδυναμοῦσθε ἐν κυρίῳ καὶ ἐν τῷ κράτει τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ. |
| [11]And put ye on; the whole armor of God, so that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Accuser. |
[11]ἐνδύσασθε τὴν πανοπλίαν τοῦ θεοῦ πρὸς τὸ δύνασθαι ὑμᾶς στῆναι πρὸς τὰς μεθοδείας τοῦ διαβόλου· |
| [12]For our conflict is not with flesh and blood, but with principalities, and with those in authority, and with the possessors of this dark world, and with the evil spirits that are beneath heaven. |
[12]ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἡ πάλη πρὸς αἷμα καὶ σάρκα, ἀλλὰ πρὸς τὰς ἀρχάς, πρὸς τὰς ἐξουσίας, πρὸς τοὺς κοσμοκράτορας τοῦ ⸀σκότους τούτου, πρὸς τὰ πνευματικὰ τῆς πονηρίας ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις. |
| [13]Therefore put ye on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to meet the evil [one]; and, being in all respects prepared, may stand firm. |
[13]διὰ τοῦτο ἀναλάβετε τὴν πανοπλίαν τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα δυνηθῆτε ἀντιστῆναι ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πονηρᾷ καὶ ἅπαντα κατεργασάμενοι στῆναι. |
| [14]Stand up therefore, and gird your loins with truth; and put on the breastplate of righteousness; |
[14]στῆτε οὖν περιζωσάμενοι τὴν ὀσφὺν ὑμῶν ἐν ἀληθείᾳ, καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν θώρακα τῆς δικαιοσύνης, |
| [15]and defend your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. |
[15]καὶ ὑποδησάμενοι τοὺς πόδας ἐν ἑτοιμασίᾳ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τῆς εἰρήνης, |
| [16]And herewith take to you the confidence of faith, by which ye will have power to quench all the fiery darts of the evil [one]. |
[16]⸀ἐν πᾶσιν ἀναλαβόντες τὸν θυρεὸν τῆς πίστεως, ἐν ᾧ δυνήσεσθε πάντα τὰ βέλη τοῦ ⸀πονηροῦ πεπυρωμένα σβέσαι· |
| [17]And put on the helmet of rescue; and take hold of the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. |
[17]καὶ τὴν περικεφαλαίαν τοῦ σωτηρίου ⸀δέξασθε, καὶ τὴν μάχαιραν τοῦ πνεύματος, ὅ ἐστιν ῥῆμα θεοῦ, |
| [18]And pray ye, with all prayers and supplications, in spirit, at all times: and in prayer be watchful, at all seasons, praying constantly, and interceding for all the saints: |
[18]διὰ πάσης προσευχῆς καὶ δεήσεως, προσευχόμενοι ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ἐν πνεύματι, καὶ εἰς ⸀αὐτὸ ἀγρυπνοῦντες ἐν πάσῃ προσκαρτερήσει καὶ δεήσει περὶ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων, |
| [19]and also for me; that language may be given me, in the opening of my mouth; so that I may boldly proclaim the mystery of the gospel, |
[19]καὶ ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ, ἵνα μοι δοθῇ λόγος ἐν ἀνοίξει τοῦ στόματός μου, ἐν παρρησίᾳ γνωρίσαι τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ εὐαγγελίου |
| [20]of which I am a messenger in chains; that I may utter it boldly, as I ought to utter it. |
[20]ὑπὲρ οὗ πρεσβεύω ἐν ἁλύσει, ἵνα ἐν αὐτῷ παρρησιάσωμαι ὡς δεῖ με λαλῆσαι. |
| [21]And that ye also may know my affairs, and what I am doing, lo, Tychicus, a beloved brother, and a faithful minister in our Lord, will acquaint you; |
[21]Ἵνα δὲ ⸂εἰδῆτε καὶ ὑμεῖς⸃ τὰ κατʼ ἐμέ, τί πράσσω, πάντα ⸂γνωρίσει ὑμῖν⸃ Τυχικὸς ὁ ἀγαπητὸς ἀδελφὸς καὶ πιστὸς διάκονος ἐν κυρίῳ, |
| [22]whom I have sent to you for this purpose, that ye might know what is [going on] with me, and that your hearts may be comforted. |
[22]ὃν ἔπεμψα πρὸς ὑμᾶς εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἵνα γνῶτε τὰ περὶ ἡμῶν καὶ παρακαλέσῃ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν. |
| [23]Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah. |
[23]Εἰρήνη τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς καὶ ἀγάπη μετὰ πίστεως ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. |
| [24]Grace be with all them who love our Lord Jesus the Messiah without corruptness. Amen.End of the Epistle to the Ephesians; which was written from Rome, and was sent by the hand of Tychicus. |
[24]ἡ χάρις μετὰ πάντων τῶν ἀγαπώντων τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν ἐν ⸀ἀφθαρσίᾳ. |
