Ephesians 6
Tyndale Bible of 1526 Par ▾ 

Children and Parents
(Colossians 3:18–21)

1Chyldren obey youre fathers and mothers in the Lorde: for so is it right. 2Honoure thy father and mother that is the fyrst commaundement that hath eny promes 3that thou mayst be in good estate and lyve longe on the erthe.

4And ye fathers move not youre children to wrath: but bringe the vp wt the norter and informacio of ye Lorde.

Serving with Honor
(Colossians 3:22–25; 1 Timothy 6:1–2)

5Servautes be obedient vnto youre carnall masters with feare and trimblinge in singlenes of youre hertes as vnto Christ: 6not wt service in ye eye sight as men pleasars: but as the servautes of Christ doynge ye will of God fro the herte 7with good will servinge ye Lorde and not men. 8And remember that whatsoever good thinge eny man doeth that shall he receave agayne of the Lorde whether he be bonde or fre.

9And ye masters do eve the same thinges vnto them puttinge awaye threateninges: and remember that even youre master also is in heven nether is ther eny respecte of person with him.

The Full Armor of God

10Finally my brethre be stronge in the Lorde and in the power of his myght. 11Put on ye armour of God that ye maye stonde stedfast agaynst ye crafty assautes of the devyll. 12For we wrestle not agaynst flesshe and bloud: but agaynst rule agaynst power and agaynst worldy rulars of ye darckenes of this worlde agaynst spretuall wickednes for hevenly thinges. 13For this cause take vnto you the armoure of God yt ye maye be able to resist in the evyll daye and to stonde perfect in all thinges. 14Stonde therfore and youre loynes gyrd aboute with veritie havinge on the brest plate of rightewesnes 15and shood with showes prepared by the gospell of peace. 16Above all take to you the shelde of fayth wherwith ye maye quenche all ye fyrie dartes of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvacio and the swearde of the sprete which is the worde of God.

18And praye all wayes with all maner prayer and supplicacio: and yt in the sprete: and watch thervnto wt all instance and supplicacio for all saynctes 19and for me that vttraunce maye be geve vnto me that I maye open my mouth boldly to vtter the secretes of the gospell 20whereof I am a messenger in bondes that therin I maye speake frely as it becommeth me to speake.

Final Greetings
(Philippians 4:21–23; 2 Timothy 4:19–22)

21But that ye maye also knowe what condicion I am in and what I do Tichicus my deare brother and faythfull minister in the Lorde shall shewe you of all thinges 22whom I sent vnto you for the same purpose that ye myght knowe what case I stonde in and that he myght comfort youre hertes.

23Peace be with the brethren and love with fayth from God the father and from the Lorde Iesu Christ. 24Grace be with all them which love o ure lorde Iesus Christ in puernes. Ame
