1 Los hijos obedezcan a sus progenitores, porque esto es justo. 2 Honra a tu padre y a [tu] madre, que es [el ]primer Mandamiento con promesa, 3 para que te vaya bien, y vivas largo tiempo sobre la tierra. 4 Los padres no provoquen a ira a sus hijos, sino críenlos con disciplina y amonestación del Señor. 5 Los esclavos obedezcan a los señores humanos con temor y temblor, con sinceridad de su corazón, como a Cristo. 6 No [hagan] un servicio al ojo, como los que tratan de complacer a la gente, sino como esclavos de Cristo. Hagan la voluntad de Dios con ánimo. 7 Sirvan de buena voluntad, como al Señor y no a [los ]hombres, 8 pues [ustedes] saben que lo bueno que cada uno haga, esto recibirá de parte del Señor, sea esclavo o libre. 9 Los amos hagan las mismas cosas con ellos y abandonen la amenaza, pues saben que el Señor, tanto de ellos como de ustedes, está en [el] cielo. Para Él no hay parcialidad. 10 Finalmente, mis hermanos, sean fuertes en [el] Señor y su fuerza poderosa. 11 Vístanse con toda la armadura de Dios para que estén firmes contra las estrategias del diablo. 12 Porque no tenemos lucha contra carne y sangre, sino contra los principados, las circunscripciones, los gobernadores de este mundo de la oscuridad y contra las huestes espirituales en los [planes] celestiales. 13 Tomen la armadura completa de Dios, para que puedan resistir en el día malo y, después de conquistar todo, estar firmes. 14 Por tanto estén firmes. Átense la cintura con [la] verdad. Pónganse la coraza de justicia. 15 Cálcense los pies con el equipo de las Buenas Noticias de la paz. 16 Sobre todo, tomen el escudo de la fe, con el cual podrán extinguir todas las flechas encendidas del maligno. 17 Tomen el yelmo de la salvación y la espada del Espíritu, que es [la] Palabra de Dios. 18 Hablen con Dios en todo tiempo por medio de toda conversación y súplica en espíritu. Por lo mismo, estén alerta con toda perseverancia y suplicación por todos los santos, 19 y por mí, para que se me dé palabra al abrir mi boca, a fin de proclamar con osadía el misterio de las Buenas Noticias, 20 del cual soy embajador con cadena, para que hable de él con osadía, como debo hablar. 21 Para que ustedes también sepan mi situación y lo que hago, todo les informará Tíquico, el hermano amado, y fiel ministro en [el] Señor, 22 a quien les envié para que sepan las cosas con respecto a nosotros y consuele sus corazones. 23 Paz a los hermanos y amor con fe en Dios Padre y en el Señor Jesucristo. 24 La gracia sea con todos los que aman a nuestro Señor Jesucristo con perpetuidad.

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).

  1. Commentary 6:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Ephesians (Homily XXI)

    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.

  2. Quotes verse 6:16 Augustine of Hippo, On Christian Doctrine (Book III, Chapters 22–27)

    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 …

  3. Quotes verse 6:12 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily VI)

    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.

  4. Quotes verse 6:16 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture V)

    … 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.

  5. Quotes verse 6:10 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapters VII–VIII)

    … 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 …
