Ephesians 6 Bishops' Bible 1568
From Textus Receptus
Eph 6:1 Chyldren, obey your fathers and mothers in the Lorde: for this is ryght. Eph 6:2 Honour thy father and mother (whiche is the first commaundement in promise) Eph 6:3 That thou mayest prosper, and lyue long on earth. Eph 6:4 Fathers prouoke not your children to wrath: but bring them vp in instruction and information of the Lorde. Eph 6:5 Seruauntes obey them that are your bodyly maisters, with feare and tremblyng, in singlenesse of your heart, as vnto Christe. Eph 6:6 Not with seruice vnto the eye, as men pleasers: but as the seruautes of Christ. Eph 6:7 Doyng the wyll of God fro the heart, with good wyll seruyng the Lorde, and not men: Eph 6:8 Knowyng, that whatsoeuer good thyng any man doeth, that shall he receaue agayne of the Lorde, whether [he be] bonde or free. Eph 6:9 And ye maisters do the same thynges vnto them, puttyng away threatnyng: knowyng that your maister also is in heauen, neither is respecte of person with hym. Eph 6:10 Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lorde, & in the power of his might. Eph 6:11 Put on all the armour of God, that ye may stande agaynst the assaultes of the deuyll. Eph 6:12 For we wrastle not agaynst blood & flesshe: but agaynst rule, agaynst power, agaynst worldly gouernours of the darknesse of this worlde, agaynst spirituall craftynesse in heauenly [places.] Eph 6:13 Wherfore take vnto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the euyll day, and hauing finished all thynges, to stande fast. Eph 6:14 Stande therfore, hauyng loynes girt about with the trueth, and puttyng on the brest plate of righteousnesse, Eph 6:15 And hauyng your feete shodde, in the preparation of the Gospell of peace. Eph 6:16 Aboue all, takyng the shielde of fayth, wherwith ye may quenche all the fierie dartes of the wicked: Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of saluation, and the sworde of the spirite, whiche is the worde of God. Eph 6:18 Praying alwayes in all prayer and supplication in the spirite, and watche thervnto with all instaunce and supplication, for all saintes, Eph 6:19 And for me, that vtteraunce may be geue vnto me, yt I may open my mouth freely, to vtter ye secretes of the Gospell. Eph 6:20 Whereof I am messenger in bondes, that therein I may speake freely, as I ought to speake. Eph 6:21 But yt ye may also knowe my affaires, and what I do, Tichicus a deare brother and faythfull minister in the Lord, shall shewe you all thynges: Eph 6:22 Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose, that ye myght knowe of our affaires, and that he myght comfort your heartes. Eph 6:23 Peace [be] vnto the brethren, and loue, with fayth, from God the father, and from the Lorde Iesus Christe. Eph 6:24 Grace be with all them whiche loue our Lorde Iesus Christe in sinceritie. Amen.
