Ephesians 6 | English Standard Version

English Standard Version

Children and Parents

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. (Pr 1:8; Pr 6:20; Pr 23:22) 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), (Ex 20:12) 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. (Ge 18:19; De 4:9; De 6:7; De 11:19; Ps 78:4; Pr 19:18; Pr 22:6; Pr 29:17; 2Ti 3:15)

Bondservants and Masters

5 Bondservants,^[1] obey your earthly masters^[2] with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, (2Co 11:3; Eph 5:22; 1Pe 2:18) 6 not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, (Ga 1:10) 7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free. (Ps 62:12; Ga 3:28; Col 3:11) 9 Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master^[3] and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him. (Le 25:43; De 10:17; Job 31:13; Joh 13:13)

The Whole Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. (Ro 4:20; Eph 1:19; Eph 3:16; 2Ti 2:1; 1Jo 2:14)

Ro 4:20Eph 1:19Eph 3:162Ti 2:11Jo 2:14

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. (Job 29:14; Ro 13:12; 2Co 10:4; Eph 4:14; Eph 6:13; Eph 6:14)

Job 29:14Ro 13:122Co 10:4Eph 4:14Eph 6:13Eph 6:14

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Lu 22:53; 1Co 9:25; Eph 1:3; Eph 1:21; Eph 2:2; Eph 3:10; Col 1:13)

Lu 22:531Co 9:25Eph 1:3Eph 1:21Eph 2:2Eph 3:10Col 1:13

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. (Eph 5:16; 1Pe 4:1) 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (Isa 11:5; Isa 59:17; Isa 61:10; Lu 12:35; 2Co 6:7; 1Th 5:8; 1Pe 1:13)

15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. (Ex 12:11; Isa 52:7; Ro 10:15) 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; (Ps 120:4; Mt 13:19; 1Jo 5:4) 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, (Isa 49:2; Ho 6:5; 2Co 6:7; Eph 6:14; Heb 4:12)

Isa 49:2Ho 6:52Co 6:7Eph 6:14Heb 4:12

18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, (Mr 13:33; Lu 18:1; Ro 8:26; Col 4:2; 1Ti 2:1; Jud 1:20)

Mr 13:33Lu 18:1Ro 8:26Col 4:21Ti 2:1Jud 1:20

19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, (Isa 50:4; Ac 4:29; Eph 3:3; Col 4:3; 1Th 5:25; 2Th 3:1)

Isa 50:4Ac 4:29Eph 3:3Col 4:31Th 5:252Th 3:1

20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak. (Ac 28:20; 2Co 5:20)

21 So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything. (Ac 20:4; Col 4:7; 2Ti 4:12; Tit 3:12)

Ac 20:4Col 4:72Ti 4:12Tit 3:12

22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts. (Col 2:2) 23 Peace be to the brothers,^[4] and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ga 5:6; Ga 6:16; 1Th 5:8; 2Th 3:16; 1Pe 5:14)

Ga 5:6Ga 6:161Th 5:82Th 3:161Pe 5:14

24 Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible. (1Co 16:22)

Деца и родители

1 Деца, покорявайте се на родителите си в Господа, защото това е правилно. (Ex 20:12; De 5:16; Pr 23:22; Mt 15:4; Mr 7:10; Col 3:20)

Роби и господари

5 Слуги, покорявайте се на господарите си по плът със страх и трепет, в простотата на сърцето си, като към Христос. (1Ch 29:17; 2Co 7:15; Php 2:12; Col 3:22; 1Ti 6:1; Tit 2:9; 1Pe 2:18)

1Ch 29:172Co 7:15Php 2:12Col 3:221Ti 6:1Tit 2:91Pe 2:18

6 Не работете само за пред очи, като човекоугодници, а като Христови слуги изпълнявайте от душа Божията воля; (Col 3:22; Col 3:23) 7 и слугувайте с добра воля като на Господа, а не на човеци; 8 понеже знаете, че всеки роб или свободен ще получи от Господа същото добро, каквото върши. (Ro 2:6; 2Co 5:10; Ga 3:28; Col 3:11; Col 3:24)

Ro 2:62Co 5:10Ga 3:28Col 3:11Col 3:24

9 И вие, господари, правете същото на тях, като се въздържате от заплашване; понеже знаете, че и на тях, и на вас има Господар на небесата, у Когото няма лицеприятие. (Le 25:43; Joh 13:13; Ro 2:11; 1Co 7:22; Ga 2:6; Col 3:25; Col 4:1)

Духовното снаряжение за битка със злото

10 Най-после, заяквайте в Господа и в силата на Неговото могъщество. (Eph 1:19; Eph 3:16; Col 1:11)

Eph 1:19Eph 3:16Col 1:11

11 Облечете се в Божието всеоръжие, за да можете да устоите срещу хитростите на дявола. (Ro 13:12; 2Co 6:7; Eph 6:13; 1Th 5:8)

Ro 13:122Co 6:7Eph 6:131Th 5:8

12 Защото нашата борба не е срещу кръв и плът, а срещу началствата, срещу властите, срещу световните управители на тази тъмнота, срещу злите духове под небето. (Mt 16:17; Joh 12:31; Joh 14:30; Ro 8:38; 1Co 15:50; Eph 1:21; Eph 2:2; Col 1:13; Col 2:15)

15 и с краката си обути с готовност чрез благовестието на мира. (Isa 52:7; Ro 10:15) 16 А освен всичко това вземете вярата за щит, с който ще можете да угасите всички огнени стрели на лукавия; (1Jo 5:4) 17 вземете също за шлем спасението и меча на Духа, който е Божието слово; (Isa 59:17; 1Th 5:8; Heb 4:12; Re 1:16; Re 2:16; Re 19:15)
