Γίνεσθε οὖν μιμηταὶ τοῦ Θεοῦ ὡς τέκνα ἀγαπητά |
Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children, |
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; |
|
| 2 |
καὶ περιπατεῖτε ἐν ἀγάπῃ καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς* καὶ παρέδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν προσφορὰν καὶ θυσίαν τῷ Θεῷ εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας |
and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God. |
And 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. |
|
| 3 |
Πορνεία δὲ καὶ ἀκαθαρσία πᾶσα ἢ πλεονεξία μηδὲ ὀνομαζέσθω ἐν ὑμῖν καθὼς πρέπει ἁγίοις |
But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed. |
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; |
|
| 4 |
καὶ αἰσχρότης καὶ μωρολογία ἢ εὐτραπελία ἃ οὐκ ἀνῆκεν ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εὐχαριστία |
Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving. |
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. |
|
| 5 |
τοῦτο γὰρ ἴστε γινώσκοντες ὅτι πᾶς πόρνος ἢ ἀκάθαρτος ἢ πλεονέκτης ὅ ἐστιν εἰδωλολάτρης οὐκ ἔχει κληρονομίαν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ Θεοῦ |
For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. |
For 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. |
|
| 6 |
Μηδεὶς ὑμᾶς ἀπατάτω κενοῖς λόγοις διὰ ταῦτα γὰρ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας |
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience. |
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. |
|
| 7 |
μὴ οὖν γίνεσθε συμμέτοχοι αὐτῶν |
Therefore do not be partakers with them. |
Be not ye therefore partakers with them. |
|
| 8 |
Ἦτε γάρ ποτε σκότος νῦν δὲ φῶς ἐν Κυρίῳ ὡς τέκνα φωτὸς περιπατεῖτε |
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, |
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light: |

ὁ γὰρ καρπὸς τοῦ φωτὸς ἐν πάσῃ ἀγαθωσύνῃ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ |
for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. |

Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. |
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them]. |
|
| 12 |
τὰ γὰρ κρυφῇ γινόμενα ὑπ’ αὐτῶν αἰσχρόν ἐστιν καὶ λέγειν |
For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. |
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. |
|
| 13 |
τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐλεγχόμενα ὑπὸ τοῦ φωτὸς φανεροῦται πᾶν γὰρ τὸ φανερούμενον φῶς ἐστιν |
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself. |
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. |
|
| 14 |
διὸ λέγει Ἔγειρε ὁ καθεύδων καὶ ἀνάστα ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν καὶ ἐπιφαύσει σοι ὁ Χριστός |
So it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. |
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. |
|
| 15 |
Βλέπετε οὖν ἀκριβῶς πῶς περιπατεῖτε μὴ ὡς ἄσοφοι ἀλλ’ ὡς σοφοί |
Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, |
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, |

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is]. |

καὶ μὴ μεθύσκεσθε οἴνῳ ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἀσωτία ἀλλὰ πληροῦσθε ἐν Πνεύματι |
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. |
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; |

λαλοῦντες ἑαυτοῖς [ἐν] ψαλμοῖς καὶ ὕμνοις καὶ ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς ᾄδοντες καὶ ψάλλοντες τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν τῷ Κυρίῳ |
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord, |
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; |

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. |
|
| 23 |
ὅτι ἀνήρ ἐστιν κεφαλὴ τῆς γυναικὸς ὡς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς κεφαλὴ τῆς ἐκκλησίας αὐτὸς σωτὴρ τοῦ σώματος |
For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior. |
For 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. |
|
| 24 |
ἀλλὰ ὡς ἡ ἐκκλησία ὑποτάσσεται τῷ Χριστῷ οὕτως καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἀνδράσιν ἐν παντί |
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. |
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing. |
|
| 25 |

to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, |
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, |
|
| 27 |
ἵνα παραστήσῃ αὐτὸς ἑαυτῷ ἔνδοξον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν μὴ ἔχουσαν σπίλον ἢ ῥυτίδα ἤ τι τῶν τοιούτων ἀλλ’ ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ ἄμωμος |

In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. |
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. |

οὐδεὶς γάρ ποτε τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σάρκα ἐμίσησεν ἀλλὰ ἐκτρέφει καὶ θάλπει αὐτήν καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν |
Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church. |

“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” |
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. |

τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο μέγα ἐστίν ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω εἰς Χριστὸν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν |
This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church. |
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. |
|
| 33 |
πλὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς οἱ καθ’ ἕνα ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα οὕτως ἀγαπάτω ὡς ἑαυτόν ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἵνα φοβῆται τὸν ἄνδρα |
