- 1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;γίνεσθε οὖν μιμηταὶ τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς τέκνα ἀγαπητά
- 2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.καὶ περιπατεῖτε ἐν ἀγάπῃ καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν ⸀ἡμᾶς καὶ παρέδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ⸀ἡμῶν προσφορὰν καὶ θυσίαν τῷ θεῷ εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας
- 3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;Πορνεία δὲ καὶ ⸂ἀκαθαρσία πᾶσα⸃ ἢ πλεονεξία μηδὲ ὀνομαζέσθω ἐν ὑμῖν καθὼς πρέπει ἁγίοις
- 4Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.καὶ αἰσχρότης καὶ μωρολογία ἢ εὐτραπελία ⸂ἃ οὐκ ἀνῆκεν⸃ ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εὐχαριστία
- 5For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.τοῦτο γὰρ γινώσκοντες ὅτι πᾶς πόρνος ἢ ἀκάθαρτος ἢ πλεονέκτης ⸀ὅ ἐστιν εἰδωλολάτρης οὐκ ἔχει κληρονομίαν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ
- 6Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.Μηδεὶς ὑμᾶς ἀπατάτω κενοῖς λόγοις διὰ ταῦτα γὰρ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας
- 7Be not ye therefore partakers with them.μὴ οὖν γίνεσθε συμμέτοχοι αὐτῶν
- 8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:ἦτε γάρ ποτε σκότος νῦν δὲ φῶς ἐν κυρίῳ ὡς τέκνα φωτὸς περιπατεῖτε
- 9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)ὁ γὰρ καρπὸς τοῦ ⸀φωτὸς ἐν πάσῃ ἀγαθωσύνῃ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ
- 10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.δοκιμάζοντες τί ἐστιν εὐάρεστον τῷ κυρίῳ
- 11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.καὶ μὴ συγκοινωνεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς ἀκάρποις τοῦ σκότους μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε
- 12For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.τὰ γὰρ γινόμενα ὑπ’ αὐτῶν αἰσχρόν ἐστιν καὶ λέγειν
- 13But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐλεγχόμενα ὑπὸ τοῦ φωτὸς φανεροῦται
- 14Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.πᾶν γὰρ τὸ φανερούμενον φῶς ἐστιν διὸ λέγει Ἔγειρε ὁ καθεύδων καὶ ἀνάστα ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν καὶ σοι ὁ Χριστός
- 15See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,Βλέπετε οὖν ⸂ἀκριβῶς πῶς⸃ περιπατεῖτε μὴ ὡς ἄσοφοι ἀλλ’ ὡς σοφοί
- 16Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.ἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσιν
- 17Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.διὰ τοῦτο μὴ γίνεσθε ἄφρονες ἀλλὰ ⸀συνίετε τί τὸ θέλημα τοῦ κυρίου
- 18And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;καὶ μὴ οἴνῳ ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἀσωτία ἀλλὰ πληροῦσθε ἐν πνεύματι
- 19Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;λαλοῦντες ⸀ἑαυτοῖς ψαλμοῖς καὶ ὕμνοις καὶ ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς ᾄδοντες καὶ ⸀ψάλλοντες τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν τῷ κυρίῳ
- 20Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;εὐχαριστοῦντες πάντοτε ὑπὲρ πάντων ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρί
- 21Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.ὑποτασσόμενοι ἀλλήλοις ἐν φόβῳ Χριστοῦ
- 22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.Αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ⸀ἀνδράσιν ὡς τῷ κυρίῳ
- 23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.ὅτι ἀνήρ ἐστιν κεφαλὴ τῆς γυναικὸς ὡς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς κεφαλὴ τῆς ἐκκλησίας ⸀αὐτὸς σωτὴρ τοῦ σώματος
- 24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.ἀλλὰ ⸀ὡς ἡ ἐκκλησία ὑποτάσσεται τῷ Χριστῷ καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ⸀τοῖς ἀνδράσιν ἐν παντί
- 25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;Οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶτε τὰς ⸀γυναῖκας καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ ἑαυτὸν παρέδωκεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς
- 26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,ἵνα αὐτὴν ἁγιάσῃ καθαρίσας τῷ λουτρῷ τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν ῥήματι
- 27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.ἵνα παραστήσῃ ⸀αὐτὸς ἑαυτῷ ἔνδοξον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν μὴ ἔχουσαν σπίλον ἢ ῥυτίδα ἤ τῶν τοιούτων ἀλλ’ ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ ἄμωμος
- 28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.ὀφείλουσιν ⸀καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶν τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖκας ὡς τὰ ἑαυτῶν σώματα ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα ἑαυτὸν ἀγαπᾷ
- 29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:οὐδεὶς γάρ ποτε τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σάρκα ἐμίσησεν ἀλλὰ ἐκτρέφει καὶ θάλπει αὐτήν καθὼς καὶ ὁ ⸀Χριστὸς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν
- 30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.ὅτι μέλη ἐσμὲν τοῦ σώματος ⸀αὐτοῦ
- 31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.ἀντὶ τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος ⸀τὸν ⸀πατέρα καὶ ⸀τὴν μητέρα καὶ ⸂τῇ γυναικὶ⸃ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν
- 32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο μέγα ἐστίν ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω εἰς Χριστὸν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν
- 33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.πλὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς οἱ καθ’ ἕνα ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα ἀγαπάτω ὡς ἑαυτόν ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἵνα τὸν ἄνδρα
