Ephesians 6:7-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

7. rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man,

8. knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free.

9. Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

10. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength 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 we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
