以弗所书 6
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
父母與兒女
6 你們作兒女的，要在主裡聽從父母，因為這是理所當然的。 2-3 “要孝敬父母，使你得福，在世長壽。”這是第一條帶著應許的誡命。 4 你們作父親的，不要激怒兒女，卻要照著主的教訓和勸戒，養育他們。
主人和僕人
5 你們作僕人的，要存著敬畏、戰兢和真誠的心，聽從世上的主人，好像聽從基督一樣。 6 作事不要只作給人看，像那些討人歡心的一樣，卻要像基督的僕人，從心裡遵行 神的旨意， 7 甘心服務，像是服事主，不是服事人。 8 你們知道，無論是奴僕或自由的人，如果作了甚麼善事，都必從主那裡得到賞賜。 9 你們作主人的，也要照樣對待奴僕，不要威嚇他們；你們知道，他們和你們在天上同有一位主，他並不偏待人。
穿戴 神所賜的軍裝
10 最後，你們要靠主的大能大力，在他裡面剛強。 11 要穿戴 神所賜的全副軍裝，使你們能抵擋魔鬼的詭計。 12 因為我們的爭戰，對抗的不是有血有肉的人，而是執政的、掌權的、管轄這黑暗世界的和天上的邪靈。 13 所以要穿起 神所賜的全副軍裝，使你們在這邪惡的時代裡可以抵擋得住，並且在作完了一切之後，還能站立得穩。 14 因此，你們要站穩，用真理當帶子束腰，披上公義的胸甲， 15 把和平的福音預備好了，當作鞋子，穿在腳上， 16 拿起信心的盾牌，用來撲滅那惡者所有的火箭； 17 並且要戴上救恩的頭盔，拿起聖靈的寶劍，就是 神的道， 18 藉著各樣的禱告和祈求，隨時在聖靈裡祈禱，並且要在這事上恆久警醒，為眾聖徒祈求。 19 也要為我祈求，使我傳講的時候，得著當說的話，可以坦然無懼地講明福音的奧祕， 20 （我為這奧祕作了被捆鎖的使者），也使我按著應當說的，放膽宣講這福音的奧祕。
祝福
21 親愛的推基古弟兄是主裡忠心的僕人，他會把我的一切都告訴你們，使你們可以知道我的景況。 22 為了這緣故，我就差他到你們那裡去，好讓你們明白我們的近況，並且叫他安慰你們的心。
23 願平安、慈愛、信心，從父 神和主耶穌基督臨到眾弟兄。 24 願一切以不朽的愛愛我們主耶穌基督的人，都蒙恩惠。
Ephesians 6
King James Version
6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
Ephesians 6
English Standard Version Anglicised
Children and Parents
6 (A)Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 (B)“Honour your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, (C)but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Slaves and Masters
5 (D)Slaves,[a] obey your earthly masters[b] with fear and trembling, (E)with a sincere heart, (F)as you would Christ, 6 not by the way of eye-service, as (G)people-pleasers, but as servants[c] of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, 8 (H)knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, (I)whether he is a slave or free. 9 Masters, do the same to them, (J)and stop your threatening, knowing that (K)he who is both their Master[d] and yours is in heaven, and that (L)there is no partiality with him.
The Whole Armour 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 armour 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 armour 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,[e] 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.
