Ephesians

兒女和父母

1你們作兒女的，要在主裏聽從父母，這是理所當然的。

2「要孝敬父母，使你得福，在世長壽。」這是第一條帶應許的誡命。

4你們作父親的，不要惹兒女的氣，只要照着主的教訓和警戒養育他們。

僕人和主人

5你們作僕人的，要懼怕戰兢，用誠實的心聽從你們肉身的主人，好像聽從基督一般。

6不要只在眼前事奉，像是討人喜歡的，要像基督的僕人，從心裏遵行上帝的旨意。

7甘心事奉，好像服事主，不像服事人。

8因為曉得各人所行的善事，不論是為奴的，是自主的，都必按所行的得主的賞賜。

9你們作主人的，待僕人也是一理，不要威嚇他們。因為知道，他們和你們同有一位主在天上；他並不偏待人。

與邪惡爭戰

10我還有末了的話：你們要靠着主，倚賴他的大能大力作剛強的人。

11要穿戴上帝所賜的全副軍裝，就能抵擋魔鬼的詭計。

12因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰，乃是與那些執政的、掌權的、管轄這幽暗世界的，以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰。

13所以，要拿起上帝所賜的全副軍裝，好在磨難的日子抵擋仇敵，並且成就了一切，還能站立得住。

14所以要站穩了，用真理當作帶子束腰，用公義當作護心鏡遮胸，

15又用平安的福音當作預備走路的鞋穿在腳上。

16此外，又拿着信德當作盾牌，可以滅盡那惡者一切的火箭；

17並戴上救恩的頭盔，拿着聖靈的寶劍，就是上帝的道；

18靠着聖靈，隨時多方禱告祈求；並要在此警醒不倦，為眾聖徒祈求，

19也為我祈求，使我得着口才，能以放膽開口講明福音的奧祕，

20（我為這福音的奧祕作了帶鎖鍊的使者，）並使我照着當盡的本分放膽講論。

祝福

21今有所親愛、忠心事奉主的兄弟推基古，他要把我的事情，並我的景況如何全告訴你們，叫你們知道。

22我特意打發他到你們那裏去，好叫你們知道我們的光景，又叫他安慰你們的心。

23願平安、仁愛、信心從父上帝和主耶穌基督歸與弟兄們！

24並願所有誠心愛我們主耶穌基督的人都蒙恩惠！

1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

2Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)

3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

5Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

9And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

21But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:

22Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

23Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

24Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
