Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Berean Standard Bible
1Filii, obedite parentibus vestris in Domino: hoc enim justum est.
1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2Honora patrem tuum, et matrem tuam, quod est mandatum primum in promissione:
2“Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise),
3ut bene sit tibi, et sis longævus super terram.
3“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”
4Et vos patres, nolite ad iracundiam provocare filios vestros: sed educate illos in disciplina et correptione Domini.
4Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5Servi, obedite dominis carnalibus cum timore et tremore, in simplicitate cordis vestri, sicut Christo:
5Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
6non ad oculum servientes, quasi hominibus placentes, sed ut servi Christi, facientes voluntatem Dei ex animo,
6And do this not only to please them while they are watching, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
7cum bona voluntate servientes, sicut Domino, et non hominibus:
7Serve with good will, as to the Lord and not to men,
8scientes quoniam unusquisque quodcumque fecerit bonum, hoc recipiet a Domino, sive servus, sive liber.
8because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.
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.
9And masters, do the same for your slaves. Give up your use of threats, because you know that He who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him.
10De cetero, fratres, confortamini in Domino, et in potentia virtutis ejus.
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
11Induite vos armaturam Dei, ut possitis stare adversus insidias diaboli:
11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes.
12quoniam non est nobis colluctatio adversus carnem et sanguinem, sed adversus principes, et potestates, adversus mundi rectores tenebrarum harum, contra spiritualia nequitiæ, in cælestibus.
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13Propterea accipite armaturam Dei, ut possitis resistere in die malo, et in omnibus perfecti stare.
13Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.
14State ergo succincti lumbos vestros in veritate, et induti loricam justitiæ,
14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed,
15et calceati pedes in præparatione Evangelii pacis,
15and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace.
16in omnibus sumentes scutum fidei, in quo possitis omnia tela nequissimi ignea extinguere:
16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17et galeam salutis assumite, et gladium spiritus (quod est verbum Dei),
17And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18per omnem orationem et obsecrationem orantes omni tempore in spiritu: et in ipso vigilantes in omni instantia et obsecratione pro omnibus sanctis:
18Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.
19et pro me, ut detur mihi sermo in apertione oris mei cum fiducia, notum facere mysterium Evangelii:
19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,
20pro quo legatione fungor in catena, ita ut in ipso audeam, prout oportet me loqui.
20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should.
21Ut autem et vos sciatis quæ circa me sunt, quid agam, omnia vobis nota faciet Tychicus, carissimus frater, et fidelis minister in Domino:
21Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know about me and what I am doing.
22quem misi ad vos in hoc ipsum, ut cognoscatis quæ circa nos sunt, et consoletur corda vestra.
22I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.
23Pax fratribus, et caritas cum fide a Deo Patre et Domino Jesu Christo.
23Peace to the brothers and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24Gratia cum omnibus qui diligunt Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum in incorruptione. Amen.
24Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.
