Ephesians 6:5-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. Servants, obey those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of your heart, as to Christ,

6. not serving when eyes are on you, but as pleasing men 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 whatever good thing any man does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is enslaved or free.

9. And masters, do the same things for them, no longer threatening, knowing that your Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

10. Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

11. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

12. For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

13. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14. Stand therefore, having your waist girded with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15. having your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace,

16. and above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish all the fiery arrows of the evil one.

17. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
