1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just.
1 HIJOS, obedeced en el Señor á vuestros padres; porque esto es justo.
2 Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise:
2 Honra á tu padre y á tu madre, que es el primer mandamiento con promesa,
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon earth.
3 Para que te vaya bien, y seas de larga vida sobre la tierra.
4 And you, fathers, provoke not your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and correction of the Lord.
4 Y vosotros, padres, no provoquéis á ira á vuestros hijos; sino criadlos en disciplina y amonestación del Señor.
5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ:
5 Siervos, obedeced á vuestros amos según la carne con temor y temblor, con sencillez de vuestro corazón, como á Cristo;
6 Not serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men, but, as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart,
6 No sirviendo al ojo, como los que agradan á los hombres; sino como siervos de Cristo, haciendo de ánimo la voluntad de Dios;
7 With a good will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men.
7 Sirviendo con buena voluntad, como al Señor, y no á los hombres;
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond, or free.
8 Sabiendo que el bien que cada uno hiciere, esto recibirá del Señor, sea siervo ó sea libre.
9 And you, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatenings, knowing that the Lord both of them and you is in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him.
9 Y vosotros, amos, haced á ellos lo mismo, dejando las amenazas: sabiendo que el Señor de ellos y vuestro está en los cielos, y que no hay acepción de personas con él.
10 Finally, brethren, be strengthened in the Lord, and in the might of his power.
10 Por lo demás, hermanos míos, confortaos en el Señor, y en la potencia de su fortaleza.
11 Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil.
11 Vestíos de toda la armadura de Dios, para que podáis estar firmes contra las asechanzas del diablo.
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.
12 Porque no tenemos lucha contra sangre y carne; sino contra principados, contra potestades, contra señores del mundo, gobernadores de estas tinieblas, contra malicias espirituales en los aires.
13 Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect.
13 Por tanto, tomad toda la armadura de Dios, para que podáis resistir en el día malo, y estar firmes, habiendo acabado todo.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice,
14 Estad pues firmes, ceñidos vuestros lomos de verdad, y vestidos de la cota de justicia,
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace:
15 Y calzados los pies con el apresto del evangelio de paz;
16 In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one.
16 Sobre todo, tomando el escudo de la fe, con que podáis apagar todos los dardos de fuego del maligno.
17 And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God).
17 Y tomad el yelmo de salud, y la espada del Espíritu; que es la palabra de Dios;
18 By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit; and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints:
18 Orando en todo tiempo con toda deprecación y súplica en el Espíritu, y velando en ello con toda instancia y suplicación por todos los santos,
19 And for me, that speech may be given me, that I may open my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel.
19 Y por mí, para que me sea dada palabra en el abrir de mi boca con confianza, para hacer notorio el misterio del evangelio,
20 For which I am an ambassador in a chain, so that therein I may be bold to speak according as I ought.
20 Por el cual soy embajador en cadenas; que resueltamente hable de él, como debo hablar.
21 But that you also may know the things that concern me, and what I am doing, Tychicus, my dearest brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things:
21 Mas para que también vosotros sepáis mis negocios, [y] cómo lo paso, todo os lo hará saber Tichîco, hermano amado y fiel ministro en el Señor:
22 Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that you may know the things concerning us, and that he may comfort your hearts.
22 Al cual os he enviado para esto mismo, para que entendáis lo tocante á nosotros, y que consuele vuestros corazones.
23 Peace be to the brethren and charity with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
23 Paz sea á los hermanos y amor con fe, de Dios Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen.
24 Gracia sea con todos los que aman á nuestro Señor Jesucristo en sinceridad. Amén. Escrita de Roma á los Efesios por Tichîco.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
As a man in forming a body, places the head first, after that the neck, then the feet, so does the blessed Paul proceed in his discourse. He has spoken of the husband, he has spoken of the wife, who is second in authority, he now goes on by gradual advances to the third rank--which is that of children.

For we hear also of the shield of faith, "wherewith," says the apostle, "ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." Nor ought we, on the other hand, in regard to spiritual armor of this kind to assign faith to the shield only; for we read in another place of the breastplate of faith: "putting …

Yes, for a grievous conflict is at hand, and against the powers unseen is our wrestling; against "the spiritual wickednesses" our fight, "against principalities, against powers" our warfare: and it is well for us, if when we are earnest and sober and thoroughly awakened, we can be able to sustain that savage phalanx.

… watch not; but, since the enemy is unseen, we have faith as our strong armour, according to the saying of the Apostle, In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

… true, says, "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." But in a phrase of this kind there is no suggestion of any lowly and subordinate ministry, but rather of the succour rendered "in the power of his might." For He Himself has bound the strong man and spoiled his goods, that is, us …
