1Kinders, wees gehoorsaam aan julle ouers in die Here, want dit is regverdig.Τὰ τέκνα, ὑπακούετε τοῖς γονεῦσιν ὑμῶν ἐν κυρίῳ, τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν δίκαιον·Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2Eer jou vader en moeder, wat ’n eerste gebod met ’n belofte is,

Aanhaling uit Eksodus 20:12 en Deuteronomium 5:16.

τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα, ἥτις ἐστὶν ἐντολὴ πρώτη ἐν ἐπαγγελίᾳ,“Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3“sodat dit met jou goed mag gaan en jy lank op die aarde sal lewe.”ἵνα εὖ σοι γένηται καὶ ἔσῃ μακροχρόνιος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

4En vaders, moenie julle kinders tot toorn opwek nie, maar voed hulle op in die tug en vermaning van die Here.Καὶ οἱ πατέρες, μὴ παροργίζετε τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν, ἀλλὰ ἐκτρέφετε αὐτὰ ἐν παιδείᾳ καὶ νουθεσίᾳ κυρίου.Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

5Slawe, wees gehoorsaam aan die here na die vlees, met vrees en bewing, in eenvoud van julle hart, soos aan Christus,

Of: diensknegte.

Letterlik: here na die vlees, dit is, aardse here.

Οἱ δοῦλοι, ὑπακούετε τοῖς ⸂κατὰ σάρκα κυρίοις⸃ μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου ἐν ἁπλότητι τῆς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὡς τῷ Χριστῷ,Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6nie met oogdienery soos mensbehaers nie, maar soos slawe van Christus wat die wil van God doen uit die siel,μὴ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοδουλίαν ὡς ἀνθρωπάρεσκοι ἀλλʼ ὡς ⸀δοῦλοι Χριστοῦ ποιοῦντες τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ, ἐκ ψυχῆςAnd do this not only to please them while they are watching, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7en met welwillendheid dien, soos aan die Here en nie aan mense nie,μετʼ εὐνοίας δουλεύοντες, ὡς τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις,Serve with good will, as to the Lord and not to men, 8omdat julle weet dat elkeen, wat hy ook al goed doen, dit van die Here sal ontvang, hetsy slaaf, hetsy vry.εἰδότες ὅτι ⸂ἕκαστος, ὃ ἂν⸃ ποιήσῃ ἀγαθόν, τοῦτο ⸀κομίσεται ⸀παρὰ κυρίου, εἴτε δοῦλος εἴτε ἐλεύθερος.because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.

9En julle here, doen dieselfde teenoor hulle en laat die dreigement vaar, omdat julle weet dat hulle sowel as julle Here in die hemele is, en by Hom is daar geen aansien van persone nie.Καὶ οἱ κύριοι, τὰ αὐτὰ ποιεῖτε πρὸς αὐτούς, ἀνιέντες τὴν ἀπειλήν, εἰδότες ὅτι καὶ ⸂αὐτῶν καὶ ὑμῶν⸃ ὁ κύριός ἐστιν ἐν οὐρανοῖς, καὶ προσωπολημψία οὐκ ἔστιν παρʼ αὐτῷ.And 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.

10Verder, word sterk in die Here en in die mag van Sy sterkte.

Sommige manuskripte lees: Verder, my broers en susters, word sterk in die Here.

⸂Τοῦ λοιποῦ⸃ ἐνδυναμοῦσθε ἐν κυρίῳ καὶ ἐν τῷ κράτει τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ.Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. 11Trek die volle wapenrusting van God aan, sodat julle kan staan teen die listige planne van die duiwel;ἐνδύσασθε τὴν πανοπλίαν τοῦ θεοῦ πρὸς τὸ δύνασθαι ὑμᾶς στῆναι πρὸς τὰς μεθοδείας τοῦ διαβόλου·Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12want ons worsteling is nie teen bloed en vlees nie, maar teen die owerhede, teen die magte, teen die wêreldheersers van hierdie duisternis, teen die geestelike magte van die boosheid in die hemelse gebiede.

Sommige manuskripte lees: van die duisternis van hierdie eeu

Letterlik: die geestelike dinge van die boosheid.

ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἡ πάλη πρὸς αἷμα καὶ σάρκα, ἀλλὰ πρὸς τὰς ἀρχάς, πρὸς τὰς ἐξουσίας, πρὸς τοὺς κοσμοκράτορας τοῦ ⸀σκότους τούτου, πρὸς τὰ πνευματικὰ τῆς πονηρίας ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις.For 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. 13Neem daarom die volle wapenrusting van God op, sodat julle op die bose dag weerstand kan bied en, nadat julle alles volbring het, kan staan.διὰ τοῦτο ἀναλάβετε τὴν πανοπλίαν τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα δυνηθῆτε ἀντιστῆναι ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πονηρᾷ καὶ ἅπαντα κατεργασάμενοι στῆναι.Therefore 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. 14Staan dan vas, met julle lendene omgord met waarheid, en met die borsharnas van geregtigheid aangetrek,στῆτε οὖν περιζωσάμενοι τὴν ὀσφὺν ὑμῶν ἐν ἀληθείᾳ, καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν θώρακα τῆς δικαιοσύνης,Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed, 15en die voete geskoei het met gereedheid van die evangelie van vrede,καὶ ὑποδησάμενοι τοὺς πόδας ἐν ἑτοιμασίᾳ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τῆς εἰρήνης,and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace. 16terwyl julle by alles die skild van die geloof opneem, waarmee julle al die brandende pyle van die bose sal kan uitblus.

Sommige manuskripte lees: bowenal die skild van die geloof.

⸀ἐν πᾶσιν ἀναλαβόντες τὸν θυρεὸν τῆς πίστεως, ἐν ᾧ δυνήσεσθε πάντα τὰ βέλη τοῦ ⸀πονηροῦ πεπυρωμένα σβέσαι·In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17en neem die helm van redding aan, en die swaard van die Gees, wat die woord van God is,καὶ τὴν περικεφαλαίαν τοῦ σωτηρίου ⸀δέξασθε, καὶ τὴν μάχαιραν τοῦ πνεύματος, ὅ ἐστιν ῥῆμα θεοῦ,And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18deur elke gebed en smeking, terwyl julle te alle tye in die Gees bid, en daarvoor wakker bly met alle volharding en smeking vir al die heiliges,

Of: in gees.

διὰ πάσης προσευχῆς καὶ δεήσεως, προσευχόμενοι ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ἐν πνεύματι, καὶ εἰς ⸀αὐτὸ ἀγρυπνοῦντες ἐν πάσῃ προσκαρτερήσει καὶ δεήσει περὶ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων,Pray 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. 19en ook vir my, dat aan my ’n woord gegee mag word by die opendoen van my mond, om met vrymoedigheid die geheimenis van die evangelie bekend te maak,καὶ ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ, ἵνα μοι δοθῇ λόγος ἐν ἀνοίξει τοῦ στόματός μου, ἐν παρρησίᾳ γνωρίσαι τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ εὐαγγελίουPray 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, 20waarvoor ek ’n gesant in boeie is, sodat ek daarin vrymoedig mag spreek soos ek behoort te spreek.

Letterlik: in ’n ketting.

ὑπὲρ οὗ πρεσβεύω ἐν ἁλύσει, ἵνα ἐν αὐτῷ παρρησιάσωμαι ὡς δεῖ με λαλῆσαι.for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should.

21Maar sodat ook julle my sake kan weet, wat ek doen, sal Tigikus, die geliefde broer en getroue dienaar in die Here, julle alles bekend maak,Ἵνα δὲ ⸂εἰδῆτε καὶ ὑμεῖς⸃ τὰ κατʼ ἐμέ, τί πράσσω, πάντα ⸂γνωρίσει ὑμῖν⸃ Τυχικὸς ὁ ἀγαπητὸς ἀδελφὸς καὶ πιστὸς διάκονος ἐν κυρίῳ,Tychicus, 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. 22wat ek juis hiervoor na julle gestuur het, sodat julle ons omstandighede kan weet en hy julle harte kan vertroos.ὃν ἔπεμψα πρὸς ὑμᾶς εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἵνα γνῶτε τὰ περὶ ἡμῶν καὶ παρακαλέσῃ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν.I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.

23Vrede aan die broers en susters, en liefde met geloof, van God die Vader en die Here Jesus Christus.

Letterlik: broers.

Εἰρήνη τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς καὶ ἀγάπη μετὰ πίστεως ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.Peace to the brothers and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24Die genade met almal wat ons Here Jesus Christus liefhet in onverganklikheid.

Sommige manuskripte lees: in onverganklikheid. Amen.

ἡ χάρις μετὰ πάντων τῶν ἀγαπώντων τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν ἐν ⸀ἀφθαρσίᾳ.Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.
