Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just.
1Filii, obedite parentibus vestris in Domino: hoc enim justum est.
2Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise:
2Honora patrem tuum, et matrem tuam, quod est mandatum primum in promissione:
3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon earth.
3ut bene sit tibi, et sis longævus super terram.
4And you, fathers, provoke not your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and correction of the Lord.
4Et vos patres, nolite ad iracundiam provocare filios vestros: sed educate illos in disciplina et correptione Domini.
5Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ:
5Servi, obedite dominis carnalibus cum timore et tremore, in simplicitate cordis vestri, sicut Christo:
6Not serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men, but, as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart,
6non ad oculum servientes, quasi hominibus placentes, sed ut servi Christi, facientes voluntatem Dei ex animo,
7With a good will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men.
7cum bona voluntate servientes, sicut Domino, et non hominibus:
8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond, or free.
8scientes quoniam unusquisque quodcumque fecerit bonum, hoc recipiet a Domino, sive servus, sive liber.
9And you, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatenings, knowing that the Lord both of them and you is in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him.
9Et vos domini, eadem facite illis, remittentes minas: scientes quia et illorum et vester Dominus est in cælis: et personarum acceptio non est apud eum.
10Finally, brethren, be strengthened in the Lord, and in the might of his power.
10De cetero, fratres, confortamini in Domino, et in potentia virtutis ejus.
11Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil.
11Induite vos armaturam Dei, ut possitis stare adversus insidias diaboli:
12For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.
12quoniam non est nobis colluctatio adversus carnem et sanguinem, sed adversus principes, et potestates, adversus mundi rectores tenebrarum harum, contra spiritualia nequitiæ, in cælestibus.
13Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect.
13Propterea accipite armaturam Dei, ut possitis resistere in die malo, et in omnibus perfecti stare.
14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice,
14State ergo succincti lumbos vestros in veritate, et induti loricam justitiæ,
15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace:
15et calceati pedes in præparatione Evangelii pacis,
16In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one.
16in omnibus sumentes scutum fidei, in quo possitis omnia tela nequissimi ignea extinguere:
17And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God).
17et galeam salutis assumite, et gladium spiritus (quod est verbum Dei),
18By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit; and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints:
18per omnem orationem et obsecrationem orantes omni tempore in spiritu: et in ipso vigilantes in omni instantia et obsecratione pro omnibus sanctis:
19And for me, that speech may be given me, that I may open my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel.
19et pro me, ut detur mihi sermo in apertione oris mei cum fiducia, notum facere mysterium Evangelii:
20For which I am an ambassador in a chain, so that therein I may be bold to speak according as I ought.
20pro quo legatione fungor in catena, ita ut in ipso audeam, prout oportet me loqui.
21But that you also may know the things that concern me, and what I am doing, Tychicus, my dearest brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things:
21Ut autem et vos sciatis quæ circa me sunt, quid agam, omnia vobis nota faciet Tychicus, carissimus frater, et fidelis minister in Domino:
22Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that you may know the things concerning us, and that he may comfort your hearts.
22quem misi ad vos in hoc ipsum, ut cognoscatis quæ circa nos sunt, et consoletur corda vestra.
23Peace be to the brethren and charity with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
23Pax fratribus, et caritas cum fide a Deo Patre et Domino Jesu Christo.
24Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen.
24Gratia cum omnibus qui diligunt Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum in incorruptione. Amen.
