New Living Translation

Ephesians 6:8-14 New Living Translation (NLT)

8. Remember that the Lord will reward each one of us for the good we do, whether we are slaves or free.

9. Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Don’t threaten them; remember, you both have the same Master in heaven, and he has no favorites.

10. A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

11. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.

12. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

13. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.

14. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.
