نامۀ پولُس رسول به اِفِسُسیان

فصل ششم

روابط فرزندان با والدین

۱ ای فرزندان، از والدین تان مطابق با خواست خداوند اطاعت کنید، زیرا این کار درست است. ۲ اولین حکمی که با وعده همراه بود، این است: «پدر و مادر خود را احترام کن» و وعدۀ آن این بود: ۳ «تا کامیاب گردی و در روی زمین عمر طولانی داشته باشی.»

۴ شما ای پدران، فرزندان خود را خشمگین نسازید بلکه آنها را مطابق خواست خداوند تربیه و نصیحت کنید.

روابط غلامان و اربابان

۵ ای غلامان، اربابان خود را در این دنیا چنان صادقانه اطاعت کنید که گویی از مسیح با ترس و لرز اطاعت می کنید. ۶ اطاعت شما فقط به خاطر این نباشد که تحت مراقبت هستید و یا می خواهید دیگران را خوشنود سازید، بلکه به عنوان غلامان مسیح، ارادۀ خدا را از دل و جان بجا آورید ۷ و خدمت خود را با علاقه انجام دهید، مانند کسی که خداوند را خدمت می کند، نه انسان را. ۸ زیرا می دانید که خداوند به هر کس خواه غلام، خواه آزاد، موافق کارهای خوبی که کرده است، اجر می دهد.

۹ ای اربابان، شما نیز نسبت به غلامان خود همین طور رفتار کنید و از تهدید آنها دست بکشید و به یاد داشته باشید که آنها و شما در آسمان یک ارباب دارید و او از کسی طرفداری نمی کند.

برای جنگ روحانی با شیطان آماده باشید

۱۰ دیگر این که در خداوند، قوی باشید و از قدرت بی اندازۀ او نیرو بگیرید. ۱۱ زِرِه کاملی را که خدا برای شما تهیه کرده است، بپوشید تا بتوانید در مقابل حیله های شیطان مقاومت کنید. ۱۲ زیرا جنگ ما با جسم و خون انسانی نیست بلکه ما بر ضد نیروهای شیطانی و قدرتهای حاکم بر این دنیای تاریک و روحهای شریر در آسمان در جنگ هستیم. ۱۳ از این خاطر زِرِۀ کاملی را که خدا تهیه کرده است بپوشید تا در آن روز شریر مقاومت کنید و با انجام این کارها تا آخر پایدار بمانید.

۱۴ پس استقامت داشته و کمربند حقیقت را به کمر بسته کنید و سینه پوش عدالت را بپوشید ۱۵ و کفشهای آماده گی برای رسانیدن خبر خوش صلح و سلامتی را به پا کنید. ۱۶ علاوه بر این همه، سپر ایمان را بگیرید تا به وسیلۀ آن بتوانید تمام تیرهای آتشین آن شریر را بی اثر سازید. ۱۷ کلاه آهنی نجات را بر سر گذاشته و شمشیر روح مقدس یعنی کلام خدا را به دست بگیرید. ۱۸ همۀ اینها را با دعا و درخواست انجام دهید. همیشه با هدایت روح مقدس دعا کنید و پیوسته برای این منظور بیدار باشید و با پایداری برای همۀ ایمانداران دعا کنید. ۱۹ برای من نیز دعا کنید تا زمانی که سخن می گویم، قدرت بیان به من عطا گردد و بتوانم راز این خبر خوش را با شجاعت اعلام کنم. ۲۰ زیرا به خاطر همان خبر خوش است که من سفیر شدم، هر چند سفیری در زنجیر! دعا کنید که من آن را، چنان که باید یعنی با شجاعت بیان کنم.

سخنان پایانی

۲۱ تیخیکاس برادر عزیز ما و خدمتگار وفادار خداوند، همه چیز را به شما خواهد گفت تا شما هم بدانید که احوالم چطور است و چه می کنم. ۲۲ به همین دلیل او را نزد شما فرستادم تا از احوال ما با خبر شوید و خاطر تان از طرف ما جمع شود.

۲۳ از خدای پدر و سَروَر ما عیسای مسیح، می خواهم که به همۀ ایمانداران سلامتی و محبتِ همراه با ایمان عطا فرماید. ۲۴ فیض خدا بر همۀ آنهایی باد که سَروَر ما عیسای مسیح را با محبت بی پایان دوست دارند.

The behavior of Gulalai's children

The behavior of Gulalai's children (Colour of Life)
Occasionally, the breeze of spring and the fragrance of colorful flowers caress the human soul and psyche, and sometimes the bitter, cruel and torrential bitterness of life is attacked from all sides. Couples who have just achieved their dreams are eagerly awaiting the birth of their cohabitation. Fathers unite day and night, working to calm and see their children's funny lips. Mothers sacrifice their sweet and comfortable dreams for their children's happy moments, and their thousands of problems and tiredness can only be healed by their children's smiles. But when children have a place and a position, they not only ignore all those hardships and homelessness, but some of them don't even have time to see their parents. We invite you to listen to this program. Thank!

Khan Wali: A Man Who Breaks the Tradition

Khan Wali: A Man Who Breaks the Tradition (Colour of Life)
The reprehensible custom of giving child brides to settle disputes is common in our country. Khan Wali is a man who objects to outrageous and shocking customs like this in his native Paktiya. He wants to abolish these practices not only from his own province, but from the whole country. He relates some painful stories from his home province. Girls in Afghanistan who are given as peace offerings are not treated as human beings when they enter the home of their enemies. They are viewed as enemies and murders. They are beaten every day. They are forced to do hard labour. They suffer in other cruel ways and often die in mysterious circumstances. And these acts are all considered acceptable in a “compensation marriage”. All these cruel acts are criminal, abhorrent and inhuman.

Warning to the Rich

Warning to the Rich (With You)
When we look at these verses, we see how the rich exploit the helpless and oppressed. They take advantage of their energy and hard work, and do not pay them. God hears the cries of such people and sends pain and suffering to the rich who love money. From these verses we learn that whether we are employers or workers, we must recognize that God is present in our lives, and we must do what is right.

Our War Is Not With Humans

Our War Is Not With Humans (Peace and Joy in Christ)
We can fight the devil with the help of God's power, because God is much bigger and stronger than Satan. After putting on the battle uniform, we must know these facts about our enemy: First, he is a spirit and invisible that cannot be seen. Second, as we mentioned before, he is very strong. Thirdly, he is very wicked and cruel and a liar. He is the leader of all the spiritual forces of evil. There is no sign of mercy and goodness in him. But the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit of God, is strong and stronger, which is present only in believers in Christ.

He wants to kill doubts and temptations in our minds. There is no need for us to have a low self-esteem and think that we are weak, of course we are weak! But God and the Holy Spirit are higher and stronger than the evil spirit. Let's try to know who is our enemy today? Do we know the tactics of the enemy?

Peace With Myself

Peace With Myself (With You)
Peace literally means harmony and reconciliation. It is the opposite of war. Peace means resolving differences and coming to agreement. Peace with self means that we become our own "closest" friend. We must clear our mind of hatred towards ourselves, of grudges, of comparison with others, of jealousy and of all unattractive qualities. When we appreciate ourselves instead of envying others, we are actually at peace with ourselves. When we see our beauty and positive points instead of our faults, we are at peace with ourselves. When we love ourselves instead of hating ourselves, we are actually at peace with ourselves.

How Do We Pray? (With You)
Many people have wrong ideas when they pray and worship. They think that they must pray in a special way to receive an answer from God. They think that they should use certain words or pray for a long time or in a certain place. But these conditions are not necessary. God answers our prayers according to our faith, not according to the words or methods we use. Our God is all-knowing.

Underage Marriage: Afghanistan's Record is Still Black

Underage Marriage: Afghanistan's Record is Still Black (Colour of Life)
Human rights in Afghanistan say that despite declines in the registration of underage marriages, the number of such marriages in Afghanistan remains high. The commission is particularly concerned about the rise in the number of underage marriages in insecure areas in our country. But in the capital, Kabul, there are many girls whose childhoods have been gambled and forced into marriage. This problem is not limited to poor and low-income families. Even wealthy families, on occasion, for some reason, marry their daughters before reaching legal age. The belief that the daughter is owned by the people is rooted in the public mentality of the society and has a cultural and economic dimension, and this way of looking at the daughters has left the parents, especially the father, in the marriage of the girl's children. Families with the girl's early marriage, on the other hand, hand over responsibility for the care of the other person to the "husband", who is a form of evasion of responsibility due to security and social conditions. On the other hand, it is economically convenient for them, not having to pay for their daughter's life and education. "

Pressures to have a large family

Pressures to have a large family (Colour of Life)
Men's domination of women's decision-making over the multiplicity of children and the involvement of those around them have left women with problems such as not caring for a child and a healthy upbringing. Some women who fail to raise a few children say that their children are born at the will of their husband or their husband's family. There are also women who have had several children at the will of their husbands, but only themselves are responsible for the care of their children. Maryam says: After the babies are born, my husband says: You are responsible for the care of the children and I only feed and spend for you. Another woman named Shakariya says: "I only wanted two children but my husband wanted to have many children. Now I have six children. My husband has poor eyesight and cannot work. I am now wondering how to provide for the costs and expenses of our parents in this unemployment and difficult economic situation. ”

Adolescent mothers face serious threats at birth, such as miscarriages, preterm births, surgeries, deaths, and low birth weight babies. Some of these women, who became pregnant at an early age, say they did not give birth normally. Zahra, a 13-year-old girl who has just had an operation, says: The baby was not born naturally, so I underwent two surgeries and was very busy, suffering from pain and restless sleep. The effect of all this pain and surgery is that my husband was given to me when I was old, and my existence was not yet ready for pregnancy. My parents have wronged me so much that they gave me a husband at a young age, and my husband wanted a child for me. He adds that his child is not of normal weight.
