6:1 你们作儿女的，要在主里听从父母，这是理所当然的。
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
6:2 要孝敬父母，使你们得福，在世长寿。
Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
6:3 *这是第一条带应许的诫命。
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
6:4 你们作父亲的，不要惹儿女的气，只要照着主的教训和警戒，养育他们。
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
6:5 你们作仆人的，要惧怕战兢，用诚实的心听从你们肉身的主人，好像听从基督一般。
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6:6 不要只在眼前事奉，像是讨人喜欢的，要像基督的仆人，从心里遵行神的旨意。
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
6:7 甘心事奉，好像服事主，不像服事人。
With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
6:8 因为晓得各人所行的善事，不论是为奴的，是自主的，都必按所行的得主的赏赐
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
6:9 你们作主人的待仆人，也是一理，不要威吓他们。因为知道他们和你们，同有一位主在天上，他并不偏待人。
And, 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.
6:10 我还有末了的话，你们要靠着主，倚赖他的大能大力，作刚强的人。
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
6:11 要穿戴神所赐的全副军装，就能抵挡魔鬼的诡计。
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
6:12 因我们并不是与属血气的争战，乃是与那些执政的，掌权的，管辖这幽暗世界的，以及天空属灵气的恶魔争战。（两争战原都作摔跤）
For 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.
6:13 所以要拿起神所赐的全副军装，好在磨难的日子，抵挡仇敌，并且成就了一切，还能站立得住。
Wherefore 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.
6:14 所以要站稳了，用真理当作带子束腰，用公义当作护心镜遮胸。
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
6:15 又用平安的福音，当作豫备走路的鞋穿在脚上，
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
6:16 此外又拿着信德当作藤牌，可以灭尽那恶者一切的火箭。
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
6:17 并戴上救恩的头盔，拿着圣灵的宝剑，就是神的道。
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
6:18 靠着圣灵，随时多方祷告祈求，并要在此儆醒不倦，为众圣徒祈求，
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
6:19 也为我祈求，使我得着口才，能以放胆，开口讲明福音的奥秘，
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
6:20 （我为这福音的奥秘，作了带锁链的使者）并使我照着当尽的本分，放胆讲论。
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
6:21 今有所亲爱忠心事奉主的兄弟推基古，他要把我的事情并我的景况如何，全告诉你们叫你们知道。
But 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:
6:22 我特意打发他到你们那里去，好叫你们知道我们的光景，又叫他安慰你们的心。
Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
6:23 愿平安，仁爱，信心，从父神和主耶稣基督，归与弟兄。
Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
6:24 并愿所有诚心爱我们主耶稣基督的人，都蒙恩惠。
Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
