رسالۀ پولُس رسول به اِفِسُسیان

فصل ششم

روابط فرزندان و والدین

۱ای فرزندان، وظیفۀ هر مسیحی اینست که از والدین خود اطاعت کند. ۲اولین حکمی که با وعده همراه بود این است: «پدر و مادر خود را احترام و عزت کن» و وعدۀ آن این بود: ۳«تا کامیاب گردی و عمرت در زمین طولانی شود.»

۴و شما ای پدران، فرزندان خود را خشمگین نسازید بلکه آنها را با آموزش و پرورش مسیحی تربیت کنید.

روابط غلامان و اربابان

۵ای غلامان، طوری با احترام و علاقه و یکدلی مُطیع اربابان انسانی خود باشید که گویی از مسیح اطاعت می کنید. ۶اطاعت شما فقط به خاطر این نباشد که تحت مراقبت هستید و یا می خواهید دیگران را خشنود سازید، بلکه به عنوان غلامان مسیح، ارادۀ خدا را از جان و دل بجا آورید ۷و خدمات خود را با علاقه و رغبت انجام دهید. مثل کسی که خداوند را خدمت می کند نه انسان را، ۸زیرا می دانید که خداوند به هرکس خواه غلام، خواه آزاد، موافق کارهای نیکی که کرده است اجر می دهد.

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

آمادگی برای جنگ با شیطان

۱۰دیگر اینکه در خداوند از قدرت بی اندازۀ او نیرو بگیرید. ۱۱زِرِه کاملی را که خدا برای شما تهیه کرده است بپوشید تا بتوانید در مقابل حیله ها و نیرنگ های ابلیس ایستادگی نمائید، ۱۲زیرا جنگ ما با انسان نیست، بلکه ما برضد فرمانروایان و اولیاء امور و نیروهای حاکم بر این دنیای تاریک و نیروهای شیطانی در آسمان در جنگ هستیم. ۱۳از این جهت زِرِه کاملی را که خدا تهیه کرده است بپوشید تا در آن روز شریر در برابر حمله های دشمن تاب مقاومت داشته باشید و تا پایان جنگ هم پایدار بمانید.

۱۴پس پایداری کنید و کمربند حقیقت را به کمر ببندید و جوشن عدالت را بپوشید ۱۵و نعلین آمادگی برای انتشار انجیل صلح و سلامتی را به پا کنید. ۱۶علاوه بر اینها سپر ایمان را بگیرید تا به وسیلۀ آن بتوانید تمام تیرهای آتشین شیطان را بی اثر بسازید. ۱۷و کلاهخود نجات را بر سر گذارید و شمشیر روح القدس یعنی کلام خدا را به دست گیرید. ۱۸همۀ اینها را با دعا و مناجات انجام دهید. همیشه با هدایت روح القدس دعا کنید و پیوسته برای این منظور بیدار باشید و با پایداری برای همۀ مقدسان دعا کنید. ۱۹برای من نیز دعا کنید تا وقتی سخن می گویم، قدرت بیان به من عطا گردد و بتوانم راز انجیل را با شجاعت اعلام کنم. ۲۰زیرا به خاطر همان انجیل است که من سفیر هستم، هرچند سفیری در زنجیر! دعا کنید که من آن را چنانکه باید با شجاعت بیان کنم.

خاتمه

۲۱«تخیکاس» برادر عزیز ما و خادم وفادار در خدمت خداوند، همه چیز را به شما خواهد گفت تا شما هم بدانید که احوال من چطور است و چه می کنم. ۲۲او را به همین منظور پیش شما فرستادم تا از احوال ما باخبر شوید و دل های شما را شاد گرداند.

۲۳خدای پدر و عیسی مسیح خداوند، به همۀ برادران سلامتی و محبتِ همراه با ایمان عطا فرماید. ۲۴فیض خدا با همۀ آنانی باد که خداوند ما عیسی مسیح را با محبتی بی پایان دوست دارند، آمین.

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.

How to Know Your Enemy (Peace and Joy in Christ)
The word of God says: Be alert and awake like a soldier who is ready to fight. Satan tries to lead us to sin and disobedience in order to destroy us in this way; swallow The purpose of his destruction that he wants is to distance us from God and the believers. 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.
