- 1. Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,
- 2. and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,
- 3. and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
- 4. also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, -- the things not fit -- but rather thanksgiving;
- 5. for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.
- 6. Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,
- 7. become not, then, partakers with them,
- 8. for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,
- 9. for the fruit of the Spirit `is' in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,
- 10. proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,
- 11. and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict,
- 12. for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of,
- 13. and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light;
- 14. wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'
- 15. See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,
- 16. redeeming the time, because the days are evil;
- 17. because of this become not fools, but -- understanding what `is' the will of the Lord,
- 18. and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,
- 19. speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
- 20. giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father;
- 21. subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.
- 22. The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,
- 23. because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ `is' head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,
- 24. but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also `are' the wives to their own husbands in everything.
- 25. The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,
- 26. that he might sanctify it, having cleansed `it' with the bathing of the water in the saying,
- 27. that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;
- 28. so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;
- 29. for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,
- 30. because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;
- 31. `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;'
- 32. this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;
- 33. but ye also, every one in particular -- let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife -- that she may reverence the husband.
