Ephesians Chapter 6

Eph 6

Pieces of advice to parents versus Children 

1 Children in the Lord, listen attentively to your parents; for this is fair/righteous.

2 Honour your father and mother (upon valuation), which, is of foremost promise, in the commandment.

3 at least it shall become well with you, and you will live-long upon the earth. (Deut 5:16)

4 And to parents, do not provoke your children, but nourish them to maturity, by discipline and admonition in the Lord.

Slaves versus Masters 

5 Servants should listen attentively to their masters in the flesh, as with fear and trembling, in sincerity of your heart to Christ;

6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as servant of Christ, doing the desire of God from the soul. (Col 3:22)

7 rendering their services with good-will, as unto the SUPREME Lord, and not to men;

8 knowing that every person, provided he has done something good, will receive back those things from the SUPREME Lord, whether as slave or as freed-man.

9 And to their masters, slacken the threatening you make towards them, knowing that even their Supreme-Lord and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with HIM.

Be fully kit-up with 6 spiritual  armours for the 7th which is the salvation of souls

10 (my brethren) the remaining thing is to be empowered in the Lord, and in the strength of His dominion, 

11 by Putting-on the full-suit of armour of God, towards being able to stand against the schemes (travesty) of devil;

12 for we are not in a fight/wrestling towards blood and flesh; but towards wickedness/viciousness/craftiness of the authority of the ancient times (the Judaists), towards the world power/rulers (cosmo-krator) of this age of darkness, towards the spiritual ones up above in the sky.

13 By this reason, take up/over the full-armour of God, at least to be able to withstand evil and to stand fast in the day, to fully accomplish absolutely all things. 

14 Therefore, to stand fast, belt up your loins in the TRUTH, and wrap up your chest with JUSTIFICATION;

15 and in readiness, bind/tie sandals under your feet for the GOSPEL OF PEACE (to set them at one with God),

16 take up a large-shield by instrumentality of FAITH, in which everybody will be able to quench flaming missiles of evil ones,

17 even the short-swords are the UTTERANCES (Rhema) of GOD, and the SPIRIT, WHO is the helmet to accept  SALVATION.

18 through (it) all, by ORATORY Prayer and SUPPLICATION, make prayer in the SPIRIT at all times, even unto the same (purpose), be awake/vigilant by perseverance, even in all supplications, concerning all the holy saints;

Pray also for Apostle, because he must preach 

19 and for me, at least, for me (pray) to give words, by opening my mouth, in all outspokenness to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20 for the sake of which I am in chain, for being an ambassador, at least to be bold among them, as I must preach.

Greetings and Grace

21 Moreover, Tychicus (fortunate), a beloved brother, and faithful servant in the Lord; will make known to you, at least, for you to be aware, of what I repeatedly practise, and all things concerning me. 

22 who has been dispatched unto this same purpose, at least for you to know things about me and encourage your hearts.

23 the Faith unto the Lord Jesus Christ and agape/selfless-LOVE from God and Peace with the FATHER be unto the brethren.

24 the Grace in the immortality of our Lord, Jesus Christ, be with (those) who will Selflessly love everybody.
