1 Децо! Слушајте своје родитеље у Господу: јер је ово право.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 Поштуј оца свог и матер: ово је прва заповест с обећањем:
2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:
3 Да ти благо буде, и да живиш дуго на земљи.
3 “that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”
4 И ви очеви! Не раздражујте децу своју, него их гајите у науци и у страху Господњем.
4 You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5 Слуге! Слушајте господаре своје по телу, са страхом и дрхтањем, у простоти срца свог, као и Христа;
5 Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ,
6 не само пред очима радећи као људима да угађате, него као слуге Христове, творећи вољу Божију од срца.
6 not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
7 Драговољно служите, као Господу а не као људима,
7 with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men,
8 знајући да сваки што учини добро оно ће и примити од Господа, био роб или слободњак.
8 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
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.
9 You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
10 А даље, браћо моја, јачајте у Господу и у сили јачине Његове.
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
11 Обуците се у све оружје Божије, да бисте се могли одржати против лукавства ђаволског:
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
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.
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Тога ради узмите све оружје Божије, да бисте се могли бранити у зли дан, и свршивши све одржати се.
13 Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Станите дакле опасавши бедра своја истином и обукавши се у оклоп правде,
14 Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 и обувши ноге у приправу јеванђеља мира;
15 and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace,
16 а сврх свега узмите штит вере о који ћете моћи погасити све распаљене стреле нечастивог;
16 above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
17 и кацигу спасења узмите, и мач духовни који је реч Божија.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 И сваком молитвом и мољењем молите се Богу духом без престанка, и уз то стражите са сваким трпљењем и молитвом за све свете,
18 with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints.
19 и за мене, да ми се да реч кад отворим уста своја, да обзнаним са слободом тајну јеванђеља,
19 Pray for me, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
20 за које сам посланик у оковима, да у Њему говорим слободно, као што ми се пристоји.
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 А да и ви знате како сам ја и шта радим, све ће вам казати Тихик, љубазни брат и верни слуга у Господу,
21 But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things.
22 ког послах к вама за то исто да знате како смо ми, и да утеши срца ваша.
22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Мир браћи и љубав с вером од Бога Оца и Господа Исуса Христа.
23 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Благодат са свима који љубе Господа нашег Исуса Христа једнако. Амин.
24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.

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 …
