以弗所書

第6章

1 你們作兒女的,要在主裏聽從父母,這是理所當然的。

2 要孝敬父母。(這是第一條帶應許的誡命。)

3 使你得福,在世長壽。

4 你們作父親的,不要惹兒女的氣,只要照著主的教訓和警戒養育他們。

5 你們作僕人的,要懼怕戰兢,用誠實的心聽從你們肉身的主人,好像聽從基督一般。

6 不要只在眼前事奉,像是討人喜歡的,要像基督的僕人,從心裏遵行神的旨意。

7 甘心事奉,好像服事主,不像服事人。

8 因為曉得各人所行的善事,不論是為奴的,是自主的,都必按所行的得主的賞賜。

9 你們作主人的,待僕人也是一理,不要威嚇他們。因為知道,你們也有一位主[your Master also]在天上;他並不偏待人。

10 我還有末了的話,我的弟兄們[my brethren],你們要靠著主,倚賴他的大能大力作剛強的人。

11 要穿戴神所賜的全副盔甲[armour],就能抵擋魔鬼的詭計。

12 因我們並不是與屬血肉的[flesh and blood]摔跤[wrestle],乃是與那些執政的、掌權的、管轄這幽暗世界的,以及在高處[in high places]、屬靈氣的邪惡[wickedness]摔跤[wrestle]

13 所以,你們[you]要拿起神所賜的全副盔甲[armour],好在磨難的日子抵擋仇敵,並且成就了一切,還能站立得住。

14 所以要站穩了,用真理作你們[your]帶子束腰,用公義當作護胸甲[breastplate]遮胸;

15預備好[preparation]平安的福音當作鞋穿在[shod]腳上。

16 最要緊的是[Above all]拿著[taking]信心[faith]當作盾牌,可以滅盡那惡者一切的火箭;

17 並戴上救恩的頭盔,拿著[Spirit]的寶劍,就是神的道;

18 依靠著靈[in the Spirit]常常[always]多方禱告祈求;並要在此警醒不倦,為眾聖徒祈求,

19 也為我祈求,使我得著口才,能以放膽開口講明福音的奧秘,

20 我為這福音的奧秘作了受捆鎖[in bonds]使臣[ambassador],並使我照著當盡的本分放膽講論。

21 今有所親愛、忠心事奉主的兄弟推基古,他要把我的事情,並我的景況如何全告訴你們,叫你們知道。

22 我特意打發他到你們那裏去,好叫你們知道我們的光景,又叫他安慰你們的心。

23 願平安、仁愛、信心從父神和主耶穌基督歸與弟兄們。

24 並願所有誠心愛我們主耶穌基督的人,都蒙恩典[Grace]阿們[Amen]

Ephesians

Chapter 6

1 CHILDREN, obey your parents in our LORD, for this is right.

2 This is the first commandment with promise: Honour thy father and mother;

3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

4 And parents, do not provoke your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and teaching of our LORD.

5 Servants, be obedient to your masters according to the flesh, with reverence and trembling, and with a sincere heart, as to Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart.

7 And serve well with your whole soul, with love, as to our LORD, and not to men:

8 Knowing that whatever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive from our LORD, whether he be a slave or a freeman.

9 Also, masters, do the same things for your servants, forgiving their faults, because you also have your own Master in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him.

10 From henceforth, my brethren, be strong in our LORD, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For your conflict is not only with flesh and blood, but also with the angels, and with powers, with the rulers of this world of darkness, and with the evil spirits under the heavens.

13 Wherefore put you on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to meet the evil one, and being prepared you shall prevail.

14 Arise, therefore, gird your loins with truth, and put on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And have your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Together with these, take for yourselves the shield of faith, for with it you shall be able to quench all the flaming darts of the wicked.

17 And put on the helmet of salvation, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 And pray always, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and in that prayer be watchful at all times, praying constantly and supplicating for all the saints,

19 And for me also, that words may be given to me as soon as I open my mouth, so that I may boldly preach the mystery of the gospel,

20 For which I am a messenger in chains: that I may speak openly about it, as I ought to speak.

21 In order that you also may know my affairs, and what I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and a faithful minister in our LORD, shall make known to you all things;

22 Him I have sent to you for the same purpose, that you may know how I am, and that he may comfort your hearts.

23 Peace be to our brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ.

24 Grace be with all them that love our LORD Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
