The Christian Standard Bible aims to draw readers into a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. By translating Scripture into the clearest possible modern English, the CSB allows readers to experience God’s Word at its fullest. Developed by 100 scholars from 17 denominations, the Christian Standard Bible faithfully and accurately captures the Bible’s original meaning without compromising readability. The CSB was created using Optimal Equivalence, a translation philosophy that balances linguistic precision to the original languages and readability in contemporary English. In the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for- word rendering is clearly understandable, a literal translation is used. When a word- for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, a more dynamic translation is used. This process assures that both the words and thoughts contained in the original text are conveyed as accurately as possible for today’s readers. The CSB provides a highly accurate text for sermon preparation and serious study, translated from the biblical languages by scholars who love God’s Word. Yet it doesn’t compromise readability and clarity for those who may be less familiar with the traditional (and sometimes difficult) vocabulary retained in some translations. Research shows the CSB is both highly literal to the original languages and highly readable, achieving an optimal balance of the two. Pastors and laypeople can read and share the Christian Standard Bible with confidence, knowing truth of God’s Word will be communicated effectively. For a more information, visit CSBible.com

Children, obey  your parents in the Lord, because this is right. Honor your father and mother , which is the first commandment with a promise, so that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life in the land.   , , Fathers, don’t stir up anger  in your children, but bring them up in the training  and instruction of the Lord.

Slaves, obey your human  masters  with fear and trembling,  in the sincerity  of your heart, as you would Christ. Don’t work only while being watched, as people-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing God’s will  from your heart. Serve with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to people,  knowing that whatever good each one does, slave or free, he will receive this back from the Lord. And masters, treat your slaves the same way, without threatening  them, because you know that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism  with him. 

Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength.  Put on  the full armor  of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh  and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,  against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil,  spiritual forces in the heavens.  For this reason take up the full armor  of God, so that you may be able to resist  in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand. Stand,  therefore, with truth  like a belt around your waist, righteousness  like armor on your chest,  and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace. In every situation take up the shield  of faith  with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet  of salvation and the sword  of the Spirit   #— #which is the word of God. Pray  at all times in the Spirit  with every prayer and request, and stay alert  with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints. Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness  the mystery of the gospel. For this I am an ambassador  in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough to speak about it as I should.

Tychicus,  our dearly loved brother and faithful servant  in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me so that you may be informed. I am sending him to you for this very reason, to let you know how we are and to encourage  your hearts. 
Peace to the brothers and sisters, and love with faith, from God the Father  and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all who have undying love for our Lord Jesus Christ.  ,
