Ephesians 6:5-13 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

5. Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ,

6. not while being watched, as people pleasers, but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart,

7. serving with goodwill as to the Lord and not to people,

8. because you know that each one of you, whatever good he should do, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.

9. And masters, do the same things to them, giving up threats, knowing that both their Lord and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

10. Finally, become strong in the Lord and in the might of his strength.

11. Put on the full armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil,

12. because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13. Because of this, take up the full armor of God, in order that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.
