Ephesians 6
6
1Yeladim, obey your horim (parents) in Adoneinu, for this is right.#6:1 Prov 6:20 2KABED ES AVICHA V'ES IMMECHA,#6:2 Ex 20:12; Dt 5:16 which is the mitzvah harishonah with a havtacha, 3That it may be well with you and you will be a long time on ha'aretz. 4And, Avot, do not provoke your yeladim to ka'as, but nurture them in the musar of Hashem and His tokhechah (reproof).#6:4 Gn 18:19; Dt 6:7; Prov 13:24; 22:6
5Avadim (servants), serve with mishma'at (obedience) your adonim according to the basar B'YIR'AH (with fear) and BIRA'DAH (with trembling)#6:5 Ps 2:11 with your levavot of erlichkeit (sincerity) as to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, 6Not with eye service as men-pleasers, being mehaneh (pleasing) to Bnei Adam, but as avadim (servants) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, doing the ratzon Hashem from your levavot. 7Render your avodas kodesh service with a lev tov as avadim unto Adoneinu and not unto Bnei Adam, 8Having da'as that whatever ma'aseh tov each one does, this he will receive back from Hashem, whether he is an eved or a Ben Chorin. 9And, adonim, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening, having da'as that both their and your Adon is in Shomayim, and ein masso panim im Hashem (there is no partiality with Hashem).#6:9 Job 31:13,14
10For the rest, be continually empowered in the ko'ach of Hashem and in the oz of His gevurah.#6:10 Ps 27:14 11Put on the whole armor of Hashem for you to be able to stand against the nechalim (scheming deceitfulness, wiles, evil plots) of HaSatan. 12Because we are not wrestling against basar vadahm (flesh and blood), but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the choshech of the Olam Hazeh, against the kokhot ruchaniyim ra'im (evil spiritual forces) in Shomayim. 13Therefore, take up the whole armor of Hashem, that you may be able to withstand in the Yom HaRah and, having done all, to stand. 14Stand, therefore, having girded your waist with HaEmes and having put on the breastplate of Tzedek,#6:14 Isa 11:5; Ps 132:9; Isa 59:17 15And having put as shoes on your feet that which makes you ready to be a maggid of the Besuras HaGeulah.#6:15 Isa 52:7 16With all these things, take up the shield of emunah, by which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of haRah (the Evil one); 17And take the Kova HaYeshuah (Helmet of Salvation) and cherev of Ruach Hakodesh, which is the Dvar Hashem.#6:17 Isa 59:17; 49:2 18Daven in the Ruach Hakodesh always with all tefillos and techinnah (supplication). To that end keep shomer and always persevere in techinnah (supplication) for the Kedoshim; 19And for me also, that to me may be given utterance in opening my mouth in boldness to make known the Sod HaBesuras HaGeulah, 20On behalf of which I am an emissary in chains, that in it I may be bold as it is necessary for me to speak.
21But that you may also know my affairs, and what I am doing, Tychicus the Ach b'Moshiach and chaver and keli kodesh (minister) who is ne'eman (faithful) in Hashem, 22Whom I sent to you for this very reason, that you may have da'as of the things concerning us and he may impart chizzuk (strengthening) to your levavot.
23Drishat Shalom to the Achim b'Moshiach, and ahavah with emunah from Elokim HaAv and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua/Yeshua. 24Chen v'Chesed Hashem be with all the ones who have ahavah for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu with an incorruptible ahavah.

Ephesians 6
6
1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2#Ex 20.12. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3#Deut 5.16. “that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.” 4Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ; 6not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as servants#6.6 Or slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to men, 8knowing that whatever good any one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free. 9Masters, do the same to them, and forbear threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14#Is 11.5; 59.17; 1 Thess 5.8. Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15#Is 52.7. and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; 16besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19and also for me, that utterance may be given me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 #
Col 4.7-8. Now that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything. 22I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.
23Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love undying.
