The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 filii oboedite parentibus vestris in Domino hoc enim est iustum
1
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 honora patrem tuum et matrem quod est mandatum primum in promissione
2
"Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise:
3 ut bene sit tibi et sis longevus super terram
3
"that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."
4 et patres nolite ad iracundiam provocare filios vestros sed educate illos in disciplina et correptione Domini
4
And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
5 servi oboedite dominis carnalibus cum timore et tremore in simplicitate cordis vestri sicut Christo
5
Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;
6 non ad oculum servientes quasi hominibus placentes sed ut servi Christi facientes voluntatem Dei ex animo
6
not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
7 cum bona voluntate servientes sicut Domino et non hominibus
7
with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,
8 scientes quoniam unusquisque quodcumque fecerit bonum hoc percipiet a Domino sive servus sive liber
8
knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
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
9
And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.
10 de cetero fratres confortamini in Domino et in potentia virtutis eius
10
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
11 induite vos arma Dei ut possitis stare adversus insidias diaboli
11
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
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
12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 propterea accipite armaturam Dei ut possitis resistere in die malo et omnibus perfectis stare
13
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 state ergo succincti lumbos vestros in veritate et induti loricam iustitiae
14
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 et calciati pedes in praeparatione evangelii pacis
15
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 in omnibus sumentes scutum fidei in quo possitis omnia tela nequissimi ignea extinguere
16
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
17 et galeam salutis adsumite et gladium Spiritus quod est verbum Dei
17
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 per omnem orationem et obsecrationem orantes omni tempore in Spiritu et in ipso vigilantes in omni instantia et obsecratione pro omnibus sanctis
18
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--
19 et pro me ut detur mihi sermo in apertione oris mei cum fiducia notum facere mysterium evangelii
19
and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 pro quo legatione fungor in catena ita ut in ipso audeam prout oportet me loqui
20
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 ut autem et vos sciatis quae circa me sunt quid agam omnia nota vobis faciet Tychicus carissimus frater et fidelis minister in Domino
21
But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you;
22 quem misi ad vos in hoc ipsum ut cognoscatis quae circa nos sunt et consoletur corda vestra
22
whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 pax fratribus et caritas cum fide a Deo Patre et Domino Iesu Christo
23
Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 gratia cum omnibus qui diligunt Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum in incorruptione
24
Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
