1 Children, do what your parents tell you, for this is the right thing to do.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment that has a promise attached:
2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:
3 “that things may go well for you and you may live a long life on the earth.”
3 “that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”
4 Fathers, don't make your children mad, but look after them by disciplining them and instructing them about God.
4 You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5 Servants, obey those who are your human masters, with proper respect and awe, doing things from sincere motives as if you were serving Christ.
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 Don't just work well when you're being watched to gain approval, but work like servants of Christ, honestly doing God's will,
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 happily serving as if you were doing it for the Lord, and not for people.
7 with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men,
8 You know that whoever does what's good will be rewarded by the Lord, whether that person is a servant or someone who is free.
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 Masters, you should treat your servants the same way. Don't threaten them, remember that the Lord in heaven is both their master and yours, and he treats people the same, without favoritism.
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 Lastly, stay strong in the Lord, and in his mighty power.
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
11 Put on all the armor of God so you can withstand all the devil's attacks!
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 We're not fighting against human forces, but against supernatural rulers and powers, the dark lords of this world, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.
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 Take all the weapons God provides so that you may be able to stand your ground in the day of evil and after doing all you can, to find yourself still standing!
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 So stand up, wrap the belt of truth around your waist, tie on the breastplate of justice and the right,
14 Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and put on the shoes of readiness to share the good news of peace.
15 and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace,
16 Above all, take up the shield of trusting God, by which you'll be able to put out all the devil's flaming arrows.
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 Wear the helmet of salvation, and carry the sword of the Spirit—the Spirit that's the word of God.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 Always pray in the Spirit as you do all this. Stay awake and keep on praying for all God's people.
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 Pray for me too so that I'll be given the right words to say, and that I'll be able to explain confidently the hidden truths of the good news.
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 I'm an imprisoned ambassador for the sake of the good news, so please pray that I will speak fearlessly, as I should.
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 Tychicus, our good friend and faithful minister, will give you all my news and explain everything so you'll know how I'm doing.
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 That's why I'm sending him to you—to tell you what's happened to us and to encourage you.
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 Peace to all the Christians there, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, with love and trust in him.
23 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace to all those who eternally love our Lord Jesus.
24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
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 …
