1 Децо! Слушајте своје родитеље у Господу: јер је ово право. 2 Поштуј оца свог и матер: ово је прва заповест с обећањем: 3 Да ти благо буде, и да живиш дуго на земљи. 4 И ви очеви! Не раздражујте децу своју, него их гајите у науци и у страху Господњем. 5 Слуге! Слушајте господаре своје по телу, са страхом и дрхтањем, у простоти срца свог, као и Христа; 6 не само пред очима радећи као људима да угађате, него као слуге Христове, творећи вољу Божију од срца. 7 Драговољно служите, као Господу а не као људима, 8 знајући да сваки што учини добро оно ће и примити од Господа, био роб или слободњак. 9 И ви господари, тако чините њима остављајући претње, знајући да је и вама самим и њима Господар на небесима, и Он не гледа ко је ко. 10 А даље, браћо моја, јачајте у Господу и у сили јачине Његове. 11 Обуците се у све оружје Божије, да бисте се могли одржати против лукавства ђаволског: 12 Јер наш рат није с крвљу и с телом, него с поглаварима и властима, и с управитељима таме овог света, с духовима пакости испод неба. 13 Тога ради узмите све оружје Божије, да бисте се могли бранити у зли дан, и свршивши све одржати се. 14 Станите дакле опасавши бедра своја истином и обукавши се у оклоп правде, 15 и обувши ноге у приправу јеванђеља мира; 16 а сврх свега узмите штит вере о који ћете моћи погасити све распаљене стреле нечастивог; 17 и кацигу спасења узмите, и мач духовни који је реч Божија. 18 И сваком молитвом и мољењем молите се Богу духом без престанка, и уз то стражите са сваким трпљењем и молитвом за све свете, 19 и за мене, да ми се да реч кад отворим уста своја, да обзнаним са слободом тајну јеванђеља, 20 за које сам посланик у оковима, да у Њему говорим слободно, као што ми се пристоји. 21 А да и ви знате како сам ја и шта радим, све ће вам казати Тихик, љубазни брат и верни слуга у Господу, 22 ког послах к вама за то исто да знате како смо ми, и да утеши срца ваша. 23 Мир браћи и љубав с вером од Бога Оца и Господа Исуса Христа. 24 Благодат са свима који љубе Господа нашег Исуса Христа једнако. Амин.

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 …
