Daily Meditation
10 Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Ephesians 6:
Today’s Reading
Ephesians
Chapter 6
Children, obey your
parents in the Lord
1 Children, obey
your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother;
(which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 that it may be well with thee,
and thou mayest live long on the earth. 4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your
children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
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; 6 not with eyeservice,
as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the
heart; 7 with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: 8
knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of
the Lord, whether he be bond or free. 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.
10 Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the
whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil. 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. 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. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about
with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 and your feet
shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the
shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of
the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God: 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in
the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for
all saints; 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, 20 for which I am an
ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
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: 22 whom I have sent
unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he
might comfort your hearts.
