Ephesians 6:4 is a summary of instructions to the father, stated in both a negative and positive way. “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” The negative part of this verse indicates that a father is not to foster negativity in his children by severity, injustice, partiality, or unreasonable exercise of authority.
Waefeso 6:4 ni ufupisho wa maagizo kwa baba mzazi, ambayo yametajwa yote yanayofaa na yasiyo faa. “Nanyi akina baba, msiwachokoze watoto wenu; bali waleeni katika adabu na maonyo ya Bwan.” Sehemu ya ukanusho wa aya hii yaonyesha kwamba baba mzazi hastahili kuweka maagizo maovu ndani ya watoto wao kwa, kuwakataa, bila haki, ubaguzi au mamlaka yasiyostahili.
