孩子与父母

做儿女的,要按照主所要求的那样孝顺父母,这是你们的本份。 “孝敬父母。”这条诫命伴随着一个许诺∶“这样,你就会万事如意,在世间将得以长寿。”

做父母的,不要激怒儿女,相反,要用主的教导来培养他们。

奴隶与主人

做奴仆的,要满怀着敬畏,真心实意地服从地上的主人。要用诚实的心去服从主人,就像你们服从基督一样。 不要只在别人注意你们时才工作,以讨主人的欢心,而要像基督的仆人那样,全心全意地执行上帝的意旨。 你们要满腔热情地尽自己的本份,就像是在为主服务一样,而不仅仅是在为凡人服务。 记住,不论他是奴隶还是自由民,主都会按照他所行的善事报应他的。

做主人的,同样也要善待你们的奴仆,不要威胁他们。要知道,天堂里的那位,既是你们又是他们的主人。他(上帝),对你们是一视同仁的。

穿上帝的盔甲

10 最后,要在主内用他的力量来巩固、加强自己。 11 你们要用上帝所赐的盔甲(保护)全副武装自己,以便能抵御魔鬼的诡计。 12 因为我们不是在与人类作斗争,而是在与统治者、权威和这个黑暗时代的宇宙势力,以及天空里的邪恶的精神力量作斗争。 13 所以,要用上帝赐的盔甲全副武装自己,以便当邪恶的日子来临时,你们可以站稳立场,直到战斗结束。 14 要站稳!要把真理像腰带一样系在腰上;把正义像护胸甲一样穿在身上; 15 脚上要穿上和平福音的鞋子,让它帮助你们站稳。 16 除此之外,要把信仰当做盾牌,用它能够扑灭那邪恶者射来的所有燃烧着的火箭。 17 还要以拯救做头盔,以上帝的话做圣灵的宝剑。 18 在各种场合,以各种祈求,借助圣灵来祈祷,为此,你们要警觉,并不断为上帝的所有子民祈祷。

19 也请为我祈祷,以便当我开口讲话时,上帝赐给我话语,让我能够毫无畏惧地传播福音的奥秘。 20 为了福音的缘故,我成了身戴锁链的使者。请为我祈祷,当我传播福音时,让我无畏地讲该讲的话。

最后的问候

21 我派我们所爱的兄弟推基古到你们那里去。他在主的事业里是一名忠实的仆人,他会告诉你们我所遇到的一切,这样,你们就知道我的情况和我所做的事情了。 22 这就是我派他到你们这里来的目的,让你们知道我们的情况,以便让他去鼓励你们。

23 兄弟们,愿你们享有来自上帝和主耶稣基督的信仰、和平与爱。 24 愿上帝的恩典与那些永远爱我们的主耶稣基督的人同在。

Children and Parents

(A)Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. (B)“Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, (C)but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Bondservants and Masters

(D)Bondservants,[a] obey your earthly masters[b] with fear and trembling, (E)with a sincere heart, (F)as you would Christ, not by the way of eye-service, as (G)people-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, (H)knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, (I)whether he is a bondservant or is free. Masters, do the same to them, (J)and stop your threatening, knowing that (K)he who is both their Master[c] and yours is in heaven, and that (L)there is no partiality with him.

The Whole Armor of God

10 Finally, (M)be strong in the Lord and in (N)the strength of his might. 11 (O)Put on (P)the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against (Q)the schemes of the devil. 12 For (R)we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against (S)the rulers, against the authorities, against (T)the cosmic powers over (U)this present darkness, against (V)the spiritual forces of evil (W)in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore (X)take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in (Y)the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, (Z)having fastened on the belt of truth, and (AA)having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, (AB)as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up (AC)the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all (AD)the flaming darts of (AE)the evil one; 17 and take (AF)the helmet of salvation, and (AG)the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying (AH)at all times (AI)in the Spirit, (AJ)with all prayer and supplication. To that end, (AK)keep alert with all perseverance, making (AL)supplication for all the saints, 19 and (AM)also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth (AN)boldly to proclaim (AO)the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I (AP)am an ambassador (AQ)in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Final Greetings

21 (AR)So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, (AS)Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything. 22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may (AT)encourage your hearts.

23 (AU)Peace be to the brothers,[d] and (AV)love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace be with all who (AW)love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.(A) “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”[a](B)

Fathers,[b] do not exasperate your children;(C) instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.(D)

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect(E) and fear, and with sincerity of heart,(F) just as you would obey Christ.(G) Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ,(H) doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,(I) because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do,(J) whether they are slave or free.

And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours(K) is in heaven, and there is no favoritism(L) with him.

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord(M) and in his mighty power.(N) 11 Put on the full armor of God,(O) so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,(P) but against the rulers, against the authorities,(Q) against the powers(R) of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.(S) 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God,(T) so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,(U) with the breastplate of righteousness in place,(V) 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.(W) 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,(X) with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.(Y) 17 Take the helmet of salvation(Z) and the sword of the Spirit,(AA) which is the word of God.(AB)

18 And pray in the Spirit(AC) on all occasions(AD) with all kinds of prayers and requests.(AE) With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying(AF) for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me,(AG) that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly(AH) make known the mystery(AI) of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador(AJ) in chains.(AK) Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Final Greetings

21 Tychicus,(AL) the dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know how I am and what I am doing. 22 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are,(AM) and that he may encourage you.(AN)

23 Peace(AO) to the brothers and sisters,[c] and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.[d]
