| Col
1:1 Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our
brother,
Col 1:2 To
the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace
be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Col 1:3 We
give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying
always for you,
Col 1:4 Since
we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which
ye have to all the saints,
Col 1:5 For the
hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the
word of the truth of the gospel;
Col 1:6 Which is
come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth
fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it,
and knew the grace of God in truth:
Col 1:7 As ye
also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a
faithful minister of Christ;
Col 1:8 Who also
declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
Col 1:9 For
this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to
pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the
knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Col 1:10 That ye
might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every
good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Col 1:11 Strengthened
with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and
longsuffering with joyfulness;
Col 1:12 Giving
thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Col 1:13 Who hath
delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us
into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Col 1:14 In whom
we have redemption through
his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Col 1:15 Who is
the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For
by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in
earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him,
and for him:
Col 1:17 And he
is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Col 1:18 And he
is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn
from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Col 1:19 For it
pleased the Father that in
him should all fulness dwell;
Col 1:20 And,
having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile
all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be
things in earth, or things in heaven.
Col 1:21 And you,
that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked
works, yet now hath he reconciled
Col 1:22 In the
body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and
unreproveable in his sight:
Col 1:23 If ye continue
in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from
the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was
preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made
a minister;
Col 1:24 Who now
rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of
the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the
church:
Col 1:25 Whereof
I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is
given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
Col 1:26 Even
the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from
generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Col 1:27 To whom
God would make known what is the riches of the glory
of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the
hope of glory:
Col 1:28 Whom we
preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we
may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Col 1:29 Whereunto
I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me
mightily.
**************************************
Col 2:1 For I
would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for
them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the
flesh;
Col 2:2 That
their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto
all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the
acknowledgement of the mystery
of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Col 2:3 In whom
are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Col 2:4 And this
I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Col 2:5 For
though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying
and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
Col 2:6 As ye
have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in
him:
Col 2:7 Rooted
and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been
taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Col 2:8 Beware
lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the
tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after
Christ.
Col 2:9 For
in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Col 2:10 And ye
are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Col 2:11 In
whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands,
in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of
Christ:
Col 2:12 Buried
with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him
through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the
dead.
Col 2:13 And you,
being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Col 2:14 Blotting
out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was
contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Col 2:15 And
having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly,
triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:16 Let
no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an
holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which
are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Col 2:18 Let
no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and
worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not
seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Col 2:19 And not
holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having
nourishment ministered, and knit
together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Col 2:20 Wherefore
if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as
though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Col 2:21 (Touch
not; taste not; handle not;
Col 2:22 Which
all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines
of men?
Col 2:23 Which
things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and
neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the
flesh.
*************************************
Col 3:1 If ye
then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where
Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Col 3:2 Set your
affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Col 3:3 For ye
are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Col 3:4 When
Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear
with him in glory.
Col 3:5 Mortify
therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication,
uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness,
which is idolatry:
Col 3:6 For which
things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Col 3:7 In the
which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
Col 3:8 But now
ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy
communication out of your mouth.
Col 3:9 Lie
not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his
deeds;
Col 3:10 And have
put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after
the image of him that created him:
Col 3:11 Where
there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and
in all.
Col 3:12 Put on
therefore, as the elect of God,
holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind,
meekness, longsuffering;
Col 3:13 Forbearing
one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel
against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Col 3:14 And
above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of
perfectness.
Col 3:15 And let
the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called
in one body; and be ye thankful.
Col 3:16 Let the
word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and
admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Col 3:17 And
whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Col 3:18 Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Col 3:19 Husbands,
love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Col 3:20 Children,
obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto
the Lord.
Col 3:21 Fathers,
provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
Col 3:22 Servants,
obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with
eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
Col 3:23 And
whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto
men;
Col 3:24 Knowing
that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for
ye serve the Lord Christ.
Col 3:25 But he
that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and
there is no respect of persons.
*************************************
Col 4:1 Masters,
give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing
that ye also have a Master in heaven.
Col 4:2 Continue
in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
Col 4:3 Withal
praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to
speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
Col 4:4 That I
may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Col 4:5 Walk
in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
Col 4:6 Let your
speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye
may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Col 4:7 All my
state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother,
and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
Col 4:8 Whom I
have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate,
and comfort your hearts;
Col 4:9 With
Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They
shall make known unto you all things which are done here.
Col 4:10 Aristarchus
my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas,
(touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive
him;)
Col 4:11 And
Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are
my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a
comfort unto me.
Col 4:12 Epaphras,
who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always
labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and
complete in all the will of God.
Col 4:13 For I
bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are
in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Col 4:14 Luke,
the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
Col 4:15 Salute
the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is
in his house.
Col 4:16 And when
this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church
of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from
Laodicea.
Col 4:17 And say
to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the
Lord, that thou fulfil it.
Col 4:18 The
salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be
with you. Amen.

Eph
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:
Eph 1:2 Grace
be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Eph 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:
Eph 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:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated
us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:6 To the
praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in
the beloved.
Eph 1:7 In whom
we have redemption through
his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 1:8 Wherein
he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Eph 1:9 Having
made known unto us the mystery
of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath
purposed in himself:
Eph 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:
Eph 1:11 In whom
also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
ccording to the purpose of him who worketh all things after
the counsel of his own will:
Eph 1:12 That we
should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Eph 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,
Eph 1:14 Which
is the earnest of our inheritance
until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the
praise of his glory.
Eph 1:15 Wherefore
I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all
the saints,
Eph 1:16 Cease
not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Eph 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:
Eph 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,
Eph 1:19 And what
is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who
believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Eph 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,
Eph 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:
Eph 1:22 And hath
put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head
over all things to the church,
Eph 1:23 Which is
his body, the fulness of him
that filleth all in all.
*************************************
Eph 2:1 And you hath
he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Eph 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:
Eph 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.
Eph 2:4 But God,
who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when
we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace
ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath
raised us up together, and made us sit together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 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.
Eph 2:8 For by
grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it
is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of
works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 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.
Eph 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;
Eph 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:
Eph 2:13 But now
in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the
blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For he
is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle
wall of partition between us;
Eph 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;
Eph 2:16 And that
he might reconcile both unto God
in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Eph 2:17 And came
and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that
were nigh.
Eph 2:18 For
through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Eph 2:19 Now
therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens
with the saints, and of the household of God;
Eph 2:20 And
are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph 2:21 In
whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy
temple in the Lord:
Eph 2:22 In whom
ye also are builded together
for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
**************************************
Eph 3:1 For this
cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Eph 3:2 If ye
have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to
you-ward:
Eph 3:3 How that
by revelation he made known unto me the
mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Eph 3:4 Whereby,
when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery
of Christ)
Eph 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;
Eph 3:6 That the Gentiles
should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his
promise in Christ by the gospel:
Eph 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.
Eph 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;
Eph 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:
Eph 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,
Eph 3:11 According
to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Eph 3:12 In whom
we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Eph 3:13 Wherefore
I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your
glory.
Eph 3:14 For this
cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Eph 3:15 Of whom
the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Eph 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;
Eph 3:17 That
Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and
grounded in love,
Eph 3:18 May be
able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and
length, and depth, and height;
Eph 3:19 And to
know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be
filled with all the fulness of God.
Eph 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,
Eph 3:21 Unto him
be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world
without end. Amen.
*************************************
Eph 4:1 I
therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of
the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Eph 4:2 With all
lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in
love;
Eph 4:3 Endeavouring
to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4 There
is one
body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One
Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One
God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in
you all.
Eph 4:7 But unto
every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of
Christ.
Eph 4:8 Wherefore
he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and
gave gifts unto men.
Eph 4:9 (Now that
he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower
parts of the earth?
Eph 4:10 He
that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens,
that he might fill all things.)
Eph 4:11 And he
gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and
some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12 For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph 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:
Eph 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;
Eph 4:15 But
speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is
the head, even Christ:
Eph 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.
Eph 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,
Eph 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:
Eph 4:19 Who
being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to
work all uncleanness with greediness.
Eph 4:20 But ye
have not so learned Christ;
Eph 4:21 If so be
that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in
Jesus:
Eph 4:22 That ye
put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts;
Eph 4:23 And be
renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Eph 4:24 And that
ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and
true holiness.
Eph 4:25 Wherefore
putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we
are members one of another.
Eph 4:26 Be ye
angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Eph 4:27 Neither
give place to the devil.
Eph 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.
Eph 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.
Eph 4:30 And
grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of
redemption.
Eph 4:31 Let all
bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put
away from you, with all malice:
Eph 4:32 And be
ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even
as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
**************************************
Eph 5:1 Be ye
therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Eph 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.
Eph 5:3 But
fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once
named among you, as becometh saints;
Eph 5:4 Neither
filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient:
but rather giving of thanks.
Eph 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.
Eph 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.
Eph 5:7 Be not ye
therefore partakers with them.
Eph 5:8 For ye
were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk
as children of light:
Eph 5:9 (For the
fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and
truth;)
Eph 5:10 Proving
what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Eph 5:11 And have
no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Eph 5:12 For it
is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in
secret.
Eph 5:13 But all
things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever
doth make manifest is light.
Eph 5:14 Wherefore
he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ
shall give thee light.
Eph 5:15 See then
that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Eph 5:16 Redeeming
the time, because the days are evil.
Eph 5:17 Wherefore
be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Eph 5:18 And be
not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Eph 5:19 Speaking
to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and
making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Eph 5:20 Giving
thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ;
Eph 5:21 Submitting
yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Eph 5:22 Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph 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.
Eph 5:24 Therefore
as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be
to their own husbands in every thing.
Eph 5:25 Husbands,
love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself
for it;
Eph 5:26 That he
might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 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.
Eph 5:28 So ought
men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife
loveth himself.
Eph 5:29 For no
man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even
as the Lord the church:
Eph 5:30 For we
are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph 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.
Eph 5:32 This is
a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Eph 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.
*************************************
Eph 6:1 Children,
obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Eph 6:2 Honour
thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
Eph 6:3 That it
may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Eph 6:4 And,
ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Eph 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;
Eph 6:6 Not with
eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the
will of God from the heart;
Eph 6:7 With good
will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
Eph 6:8 Knowing
that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of
the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
Eph 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.
Eph 6:10 Finally,
my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on
the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil.
Eph 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.
Eph 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.
Eph 6:14 Stand
therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your
feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above
all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take
the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word
of God:
Eph 6:18 Praying
always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching
thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Eph 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,
Eph 6:20 For
which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I
ought to speak.
Eph 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:
Eph 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.
Eph 6:23 Peace be
to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Eph 6:24 Grace
be with all them that love our Lord Jesus
Christ in sincerity. Amen.
