¹ܒܢܝܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܘ ܠܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܐܢܐ ܀

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

²ܘܗܢܘ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܡܠܝܟ ܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ ܀

²“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:

³ܕܢܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܘܢܐܪܟܘܢ ܚܝܝܟ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܀

³“that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.” Deuteronomy 5:16

⁴ܐܒܗܐ ܠܐ ܬܪܓܙܘܢ ܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܪܒܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܀

⁴You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

⁵ܥܒܕܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܘ ܠܡܪܝܟܘܢ ܕܒܒܤܪ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܒܪܬܝܬܐ ܘܒܦܫܝܛܘܬ ܠܒܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

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

⁶ܠܐ ܒܡܚܙܐ ܥܝܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܫܦܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܥܒܕܝܢ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁶not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

⁷ܘܫܡܫܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀

⁷with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men;

⁸ܟܕ ܝܕܥܝܬܘܢ ܕܗܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܫ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܡܬܦܪܥ ܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܐܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܢ ܒܪ ܚܐܪܐ ܀

⁸knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.

⁹ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܟܠܘܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܡܪܟܘܢ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܀

⁹You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

¹⁰ܡܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܐܬܚܝܠܘ ܒܡܪܢ ܘܒܬܘܩܦܐ ܕܚܝܠܗ ܀

¹⁰Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

¹¹ܘܠܒܫܘ ܟܠܗ ܙܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܬܫܟܚܘܢ ܠܡܩܡ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܨܢܥܬܗ ܕܐܟܠ ܩܪܨܐ ܀

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

¹²ܡܛܠ ܕܬܟܬܘܫܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܒܤܪܐ ܘܕܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܡ ܐܪܟܘܤ ܘܥܡ ܫܠܝܛܢܐ ܘܥܡ ܐܚܝܕܝ ܥܠܡܐ ܕܗܢܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܥܡ ܪܘܚܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܀

¹²For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

¹³ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܒܫܘ ܟܠܗ ܙܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܫܟܚܘܢ ܬܐܪܥܘܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܟܕ ܡܥܬܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܬܩܘܡܘܢ ܀

¹³Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.

¹⁴ܩܘܡܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܚܙܘܩܘ ܚܨܝܟܘܢ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܘܠܒܫܘ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܀

¹⁴Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

¹⁵ܘܤܐܢܘ ܒܪܓܠܝܟܘܢ ܛܘܝܒܗ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܕܫܠܡܐ ܀

¹⁵and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;

¹⁶ܘܥܡ ܗܠܝܢ ܤܒܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܟܪܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܒܗ ܬܬܡܨܘܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܠܡܕܥܟܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܐܪܘܗܝ ܝܩܕܐ ܕܒܝܫܐ ܀

¹⁶above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.

¹⁷ܘܤܝܡܘ ܤܢܘܪܬܐ ܕܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܘܐܚܘܕܘ ܤܝܦܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word from Greek rhema, which means spoken word of God;

¹⁸ܘܒܟܠ ܨܠܘܢ ܘܒܟܠ ܒܥܘܢ ܨܠܘ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܒܪܘܚ ܘܒܗ ܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܫܗܪܝܢ ܒܟܠܥܕܢ ܟܕ ܡܨܠܝܬܘܢ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܘܡܬܟܫܦܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܀

¹⁸with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

¹⁹ܐܦ ܥܠܝ ܕܬܬܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܒܡܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܝ ܕܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܐܟܪܙ ܐܪܙܐ ܕܤܒܪܬܐ ܀

¹⁹on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

²⁰ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܝܙܓܕܗ ܒܫܫܠܬܐ ܕܒܦܪܗܤܝܐ ܐܡܠܠܝܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܘܠܐ ܠܝ ܠܡܡܠܠܘܬܗ ܀

²⁰for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

²¹ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܘܬܝ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܤܥܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܐ ܡܘܕܥ ܠܟܘܢ ܛܘܟܝܩܘܤ ܐܚܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܡܪܢ ܀

²¹But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things;

²²ܕܠܗ ܫܕܪܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܥܠܝܗ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܠܘܬܝ ܘܢܒܝܐ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܀

²²whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.

²³ܫܠܡܐ ܥܡ ܐܚܝܢ ܘܚܘܒܐ ܥܡ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

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

²⁴ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܝܢ ܠܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܠܐ ܚܒܠ ܐܡܝܢ ܀

²⁴Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.
