| Ephesians 6:1 | Children, obey your parents in [the] Lord, for this is just. | Children, be obedient to your parents as a Christian duty, for it is a duty. | Children, do what is ordered by your fathers and mothers in the Lord: for this is right. |
| Ephesians 6:2 | Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, | "Honour your father and your mother" this is the first Commandment which has a promise added to it | Give honour to your father and mother (which is the first rule having a reward), |

| Ephesians 6:4 | And [ye] fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in [the] discipline and admonition of [the] Lord. | And you, fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up tenderly with true Christian training and advice. | And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord. |
| Ephesians 6:5 | Bondmen, obey masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ; | Slaves, be obedient to your earthly masters, with respect and eager anxiety to please and with simplicity of motive as if you were obeying Christ. | Servants, do what is ordered by those who are your natural masters, having respect and fear for them, with all your heart, as to Christ; |
| Ephesians 6:6 | not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from [the] soul, | Let it not be in acts of eye-service as if you had but to please men, but as Christ's bondservants who are doing God's will from the heart. | Not only under your master's eye, as pleasers of men; but as servants of Christ, doing the pleasure of God from the heart; |

| Ephesians 6:9 | And, masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no acceptance of persons with him. | And you masters, act towards your slaves on the same principles, and refrain from threats. For you know that in Heaven there is One who is your Master as well as theirs, and that merely earthly distinctions there are none with Him. | And, you masters, do the same things to them, not making use of violent words: in the knowledge that their Master and yours is in heaven, and he has no respect for a man's position. |
| Ephesians 6:10 | For the rest, brethren, be strong in [the] Lord, and in the might of his strength. | In conclusion, strengthen yourselves in the Lord and in the power which His supreme might imparts. | Lastly, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his power. |

| Ephesians 6:12 | because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual [power] of wickedness in the heavenlies. | For ours is not a conflict with mere flesh and blood, but with the despotisms, the empires, the forces that control and govern this dark world the spiritual hosts of evil arrayed against us in the heavenly warfare. | For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens. |
| Ephesians 6:13 | For this reason take [to you] the panoply of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having accomplished all things, to stand. | Therefore put on the complete armour of God, so that you may be able to stand your ground on the day of battle, and, having fought to the end, to remain victors on the field. | For this reason take up all the arms of God, so that you may be able to be strong in the evil day, and, having done all, to keep your place. |
| Ephesians 6:14 | Stand therefore, having girt about your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, | Stand therefore, first fastening round you the girdle of truth and putting on the breastplate of uprightness | Take your place, then, having your body clothed with the true word, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness; |
| Ephesians 6:15 | and shod your feet with [the] preparation of the glad tidings of peace: | as well as the shoes of the Good News of peace a firm foundation for your feet. | Be ready with the good news of peace as shoes on your feet; |
| Ephesians 6:16 | besides all [these], having taken the shield of faith with which ye will be able to quench all the inflamed darts of the wicked one. | And besides all these take the great shield of faith, on which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of the Wicked one; | And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One. |

| Ephesians 6:20 | for which I am an ambassador [bound] with a chain, that I may be bold in it as I ought to speak. | to spread which I am an ambassador in chains so that when telling them I may speak out boldly as I ought. | For which I am a representative in chains, and that I may say without fear the things which it is right for me to say. |
