1Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children, 2And walk in love, as also The Messiah has loved us and handed himself over for our persons, the offering and sacrifice to God, for a sweet fragrance.

3But fornication, all impurity and greed are not even to be named at all among you, as is appropriate for Holy Ones, 4Neither abusive language, neither worthless words, nor of disgrace, nor of nonsense- these things that are unnecessary, but in place of these, thanksgiving. 5You have known this, that no person who is a fornicator or impure or a greedy person ( who is an idol worshipper ) has any inheritance in The Kingdom of The Messiah and of God.

6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things the anger of God comes on the children of disobedience. 7You should not therefore be partners with them.

8For you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in our Lord, therefore so walk as children of Light. 9For the fruits of The Light are in all goodness, righteousness and truth. 10Distinguish what is pleasing before Our Lord. 11Neither should you fellowship with the Servants of darkness, because they have no fruit in them, but you should rebuke them. 12For the thing that they do in secret is an abomination to mention. 13For all things are corrected by The Light and they are revealed, and everything that reveals is light.

14Therefore it is said, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from among the dead and The Messiah will illuminate you.”

15See therefore that you walk honorably, not as the fools, but as the wise, 16Who redeem their opportunities because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be stupid, but understanding what the will of God is. 18Neither be drunk with wine in which is debauchery, but be filled with The Spirit. 19But speak to yourselves in Psalms and hymns and songs of The Spirit; be singing in your hearts to THE LORD JEHOVAH. 20Be giving thanks always for the sake of every person in the name of our Lord Yeshua The Messiah to God The Father. 21Be subject to one another in the love of The Messiah.

22Wives, be subject to your husbands as to Our Lord, 23Because the man is the head of the woman just as The Messiah is also The Head of the church and he is The Savior of the body. 24But just as the church is subject to The Messiah, in this way also wives are to their husbands in all things.

25Husbands, love your wives, as The Messiah also loves his church and gave himself up for her sake, 26To sanctify and purify her in the washing of water and in the word. 27And he shall establish the church for himself without blemish or wrinkle, neither any such things whatsoever, but it will be holy and without defect. 28In this way men ought to love their wives as their bodies. Whoever loves his wife loves himself. 29For no man ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cares for his own, just as The Messiah does also for his church. 30Because we are members of his body and we are of his flesh and of his bones. 31Therefore, a man should leave his father and his mother and should cleave to his wife, and the two of them shall be one flesh. 32This is a great mystery, but I am speaking about The Messiah and about his church. 33Moreover, you also, everyone of you should in this way love his wife as himself; but the woman should revere her husband.
