1 Hijos, hagan lo que sus padres les dicen, porque esto es lo correcto. 2 “Honra a tu padre y a tu madre”. Este es el primer mandamiento que tiene una promesa unida: 3 “para que te vaya bien y tengas larga vida en la tierra”. 4 Padres, no enojen a sus hijos, sino cuiden de ellos, disciplinándolos e instruyéndolos acerca de Dios. 5 Siervos, obedezcan a sus amos en la tierra, con el debido respeto y admiración, haciendo las cosas con sinceridad, como si sirvieran a Cristo. 6 No trabajen simplemente cuando los ven o para recibir aprobación, sino trabajen como siervos de Cristo, haciendo con honestidad la voluntad de Dios, 7 sirviendo con alegría, como si lo hicieran para el Señor y no para la gente. 8 Ustedes saben que todo el que hace lo bueno será recompensado por el Señor, sea siervo o libre. 9 Amos, traten a sus siervos del mismo modo. No los amenacen, recuerden que el Señor en el cielo es tanto su amo como el de ustedes, y él trata a las personas con igualdad, sin favoritismo. 10 Por último, manténganse firmes en el Señor, y en su poder. 11 Vístanse con toda la armadura de Dios para que puedan estar firmes ante los ataques del enemigo. 12 No estamos peleando contra fuerzas humanas, sino contra poderes y gobernantes sobrenaturales, contra los señores de las tinieblas de este mundo, contra las fuerzas espirituales de maldad que están en los cielos. 13 Tomen las armas que Dios les da para que puedan estar firmes en el día del mal y que sigan en pie aun después de la lucha. 14 Así que levántense, pónganse el cinturón de la verdad, pónganse la coraza de justicia y rectitud, 15 y colóquense el calzado de la prontitud para compartir la buena noticia de paz. 16 Pero sobre todas las cosas, tomen el escudo de la fe en Dios, por el cual podrán soportar todos los dardos de fuego del enemigo. 17 Usen el casco de la salvación, y lleven la espada del Espíritu, que es la palabra de Dios. 18 Siempre oren en el Espíritu al hacer todo esto. Estén despiertos y sigan orando por todo el pueblo de Dios. 19 Oren por mí para decir las palabras adecuadas, y para poder explicar con toda confianza las verdades ocultas de la buena noticia. 20 Soy un prisionero embajador por causa de la buena noticia, así que les ruego que oren para que pueda hablar sin temor, como es debido. 21 Tíquico, nuestro buen amigo y ministro fiel, les dará todas las noticias sobre mí y les explicará todo, para que sepan cómo estoy. 22 Por ello lo envío a ustedes, para que les diga lo que nos ha sucedido y se animen. 23 Paz a todos los cristianos allí, de parte de Dios el Padre y del Señor Jesucristo, con amor y fe en él. 24 Gracia a todos los que aman eternamente a nuestro Señor Jesús.

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 …
