Ephesians 6
New King James Version
Ephesians 6
New King James Version
Children and Parents(A)
6 Children, (B)obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 (C)“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3 “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
4 And (D)you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but (E)bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
Bondservants and Masters
5 (F)Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, (G)with fear and trembling, (H)in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; 6 (I)not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, 8 (J)knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
9 And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that [a]your own (K)Master also is in heaven, and (L)there is no partiality with Him.
The Whole Armor of God
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 (M)Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [b]wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against (N)principalities, against powers, against (O)the rulers of [c]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 (P)Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand (Q)in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, (R)having girded your waist with truth, (S)having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 (T)and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking (U)the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And (V)take the helmet of salvation, and (W)the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 (X)praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, (Y)being watchful to this end with all perseverance and (Z)supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, (AA)that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which (AB)I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
A Gracious Greeting
21 But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, (AC)Tychicus, a beloved brother and (AD)faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you; 22 (AE)whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may (AF)comfort your hearts.
23 Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

Deberes filiales
6 Hijos, obedezcan en el Señor a sus padres, porque esto es justo. 2 «Honra a tu padre y a tu madre» —que es el primer mandamiento con promesa— 3 «para que te vaya bien y disfrutes de una larga vida en la tierra».[a]
4 Y ustedes, padres, no hagan enojar a sus hijos, sino críenlos según la disciplina e instrucción del Señor.
Deberes de los esclavos y de sus amos
5 Esclavos, obedezcan a sus amos terrenales con respeto y temor, y con corazón sincero, como a Cristo. 6 No lo hagan solo cuando los estén mirando, como los que quieren ganarse el favor humano, sino como esclavos de Cristo, haciendo de corazón la voluntad de Dios. 7 Sirvan de buena gana, como quien sirve al Señor y no a los hombres, 8 sabiendo que el Señor recompensará a cada uno por el bien que haya hecho, sea esclavo o sea libre.
9 Y ustedes, amos, correspondan a esta actitud de sus esclavos, dejando de amenazarlos. Recuerden que tanto ellos como ustedes tienen un mismo Amo[b] en el cielo y que con él no hay favoritismos.
La armadura de Dios
10 Por último, fortalézcanse con el gran poder del Señor. 11 Pónganse toda la armadura de Dios para que puedan hacer frente a las artimañas del diablo. 12 Porque nuestra lucha no es contra seres humanos, sino contra poderes, contra autoridades, contra potestades que dominan este mundo de tinieblas, contra fuerzas espirituales malignas en las regiones celestiales. 13 Por lo tanto, pónganse toda la armadura de Dios, para que cuando llegue el día malo puedan resistir hasta el fin con firmeza. 14 Manténganse firmes, ceñidos con el cinturón de la verdad, protegidos por la coraza de justicia 15 y calzados con la disposición de proclamar el evangelio de la paz. 16 Además de todo esto, tomen el escudo de la fe, con el cual pueden apagar todas las flechas encendidas del maligno. 17 Tomen el casco de la salvación y la espada del Espíritu, que es la palabra de Dios.
18 Oren en el Espíritu en todo momento, con peticiones y ruegos. Manténganse alertas y perseveren en oración por todos los creyentes.
19 Oren también por mí para que, cuando hable, Dios me dé las palabras para dar a conocer con valor el misterio del evangelio, 20 por el cual soy embajador en cadenas. Oren para que lo proclame valerosamente, como debo hacerlo.
Saludos finales
21 Nuestro querido hermano Tíquico, fiel servidor en el Señor, les contará todo para que también sepan cómo me va y qué estoy haciendo. 22 Precisamente, lo envío a ustedes para que sepan cómo estamos y para que cobren ánimo.
23 Que Dios el Padre y el Señor Jesucristo les concedan paz, amor y fe a los hermanos.
24 La gracia sea con todos los que aman a nuestro Señor Jesucristo con amor imperecedero.

Ephesians 6
King James Version
6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
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 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
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.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
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.
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.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
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,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
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:
22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
