Ephesians 6

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Children, obey your parents as believers in the Lord. Obey them because it's the right thing to do.

2 Scripture says, "Honor your father and mother." That is the first commandment that has a promise.

3 "Then things will go well with you. You will live a long time on the earth."(Deuteronomy 5:16)

4 Fathers, don't make your children angry. Instead, train them and teach them the ways of the Lord as you raise them.

5 Slaves, obey your masters here on earth. Respect them and honor them with a heart that is true. Obey them just as you would obey Christ.

6 Don't obey them only to please them when they are watching. Do it because you are slaves of Christ. Be sure your heart does what God wants.

7 Serve your masters with all your heart. Work as if you were not serving people but the Lord.

8 You know that the Lord will give you a reward. He will give to each of you in keeping with the good you do. It doesn't matter whether you are slaves or free.

9 Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. When you warn them, don't be too hard on them. You know that the One who is their Master and yours is in heaven. And he treats everyone the same.

10 Finally, let the Lord make you strong. Depend on his mighty power.

11 Put on all of God's armor. Then you can stand firm against the devil's evil plans.

12 Our fight is not against human beings. It is against the rulers, the authorities and the powers of this dark world. It is against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly world.

13 So put on all of God's armor. Evil days will come. But you will be able to stand up to anything. And after you have done everything you can, you will still be standing.

14 So stand firm. Put the belt of truth around your waist. Put the armor of godliness on your chest.

15 Wear on your feet what will prepare you to tell the good news of peace.

16 Also, pick up the shield of faith. With it you can put out all of the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17 Put on the helmet of salvation. And take the sword of the Holy Spirit. The sword is God's word.

18 At all times, pray by the power of the Spirit. Pray all kinds of prayers. Be watchful, so that you can pray. Always keep on praying for all of God's people.

19 Pray also for me. Pray that when I open my mouth, the right words will be given to me. Then I can be bold as I tell the mystery of the good news.

20 Because of the good news, I am being held by chains as the Lord's messenger. So pray that I will be bold as I preach the good news. That's what I should do.

21 Tychicus is a dear brother. He is faithful in serving the Lord. He will tell you everything about me. Then you will know how I am and what I am doing.

22 That's why I am sending him to you. I want you to know how we are. And I want him to cheer you up.

23 May God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give peace to the brothers and sisters. May they also give them love and faith.

24 May grace be given to everyone who loves our Lord Jesus Christ with a love that will never die.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 filii oboedite parentibus vestris in Domino hoc enim est iustum

2 honora patrem tuum et matrem quod est mandatum primum in promissione

3 ut bene sit tibi et sis longevus super terram

4 et patres nolite ad iracundiam provocare filios vestros sed educate illos in disciplina et correptione Domini

5 servi oboedite dominis carnalibus cum timore et tremore in simplicitate cordis vestri sicut Christo

6 non ad oculum servientes quasi hominibus placentes sed ut servi Christi facientes voluntatem Dei ex animo

7 cum bona voluntate servientes sicut Domino et non hominibus

8 scientes quoniam unusquisque quodcumque fecerit bonum hoc percipiet a Domino sive servus sive liber

9 et domini eadem facite illis remittentes minas scientes quia et illorum et vester Dominus est in caelis et personarum acceptio non est apud eum

10 de cetero fratres confortamini in Domino et in potentia virtutis eius

11 induite vos arma Dei ut possitis stare adversus insidias diaboli

12 quia non est nobis conluctatio adversus carnem et sanguinem sed adversus principes et potestates adversus mundi rectores tenebrarum harum contra spiritalia nequitiae in caelestibus

13 propterea accipite armaturam Dei ut possitis resistere in die malo et omnibus perfectis stare

14 state ergo succincti lumbos vestros in veritate et induti loricam iustitiae

15 et calciati pedes in praeparatione evangelii pacis

16 in omnibus sumentes scutum fidei in quo possitis omnia tela nequissimi ignea extinguere

17 et galeam salutis adsumite et gladium Spiritus quod est verbum Dei

18 per omnem orationem et obsecrationem orantes omni tempore in Spiritu et in ipso vigilantes in omni instantia et obsecratione pro omnibus sanctis

19 et pro me ut detur mihi sermo in apertione oris mei cum fiducia notum facere mysterium evangelii

20 pro quo legatione fungor in catena ita ut in ipso audeam prout oportet me loqui

21 ut autem et vos sciatis quae circa me sunt quid agam omnia nota vobis faciet Tychicus carissimus frater et fidelis minister in Domino

22 quem misi ad vos in hoc ipsum ut cognoscatis quae circa nos sunt et consoletur corda vestra

23 pax fratribus et caritas cum fide a Deo Patre et Domino Iesu Christo

24 gratia cum omnibus qui diligunt Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum in incorruptione
