Ephesians 5

1 Be you, therefore, imitators of God, as beloved children;

do be therefore imitators of God as children beloved

2 and walk in love, as the Christ also loved us, and gave himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor.

and do walk in love even as also Christ loved (us *NK(O)*) and gave up himself for (us *NK(O)*) [as] an offering and a sacrifice to God into an aroma of a sweet smell.

3 But lewdness, and all manner of uncleanness, or covetousness, let them not be named among you, as it becomes saints;

Sexual immorality however and impurity all or covetousness not even should be named among you as is proper to saints

4 nor obscene language, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not becoming; but rather the cheerful words of a thankful heart.

and filthiness and foolish talking or crude joking (which *N(k)O*) not (were fit *N(k)O*) but rather thanksgiving.

5 For you know this, that no lewd nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and of God.

This for (you should know *N(k)O*) realizing that any fornicator or unclean person or covetous man, (who *N(k)O*) is an idolater, not has inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 Let no one deceive you with vain words: for on account of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

No one you should deceive with empty words; because of these things for comes the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.

7 Therefore, be not partakers with them.

Not therefore do be partakers with them.

8 For you were formerly darkness; but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light;

You were for once darkness now however light in [the] Lord; as children of light do walk —

9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; )

for the fruit of the (light [is] *N(K)O*) in all goodness and in righteousness and in truth —

10 learning what is acceptable to the Lord;

discerning what is well-pleasing to the Lord.

11 and do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;

And not do have fellowship with the works unfruitful of darkness, rather however even do expose [them];

12 for it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by them in secret.

the [things] for in secret being done by them shameful it is even to mention.

13 But all these works, when reproved, are made manifest by the light: for every thing that makes manifest is light.

But everything being exposed by the light is made visible; everything for which is becoming visible light is;

14 Wherefore, the scripture says: Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.

Therefore it says: (do awake *N(k)O*) you who [are] sleeping and do rise up out from the dead, and will shine upon you Christ.

15 See, then, that you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise men,

do take heed therefore carefully how you walk not as unwise but as wise,

16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

redeeming the time, because the days evil are.

17 Wherefore, be not ignorant, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Because of this not do be foolish, but (do understand *N(k)O*) what the will of the Lord [is].

18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit;

And not do be drunk with wine, in which is debauchery, Instead do be filled with [the] Spirit

19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

speaking to each other (in *n*) psalms and in hymns and in songs spiritual, singing and making melody (in *ko*) the heart of you to the Lord,

20 giving thanks to our God and Father always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

giving thanks at all times for all things in [the] name the Lord of us Jesus Christ to the God and Father;

21 being subject one to another in the fear of God.

Be submitting yourselves to one another in reverence (of Christ. *N(K)O*)

22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord:

you who [are] wives, to [your] own husbands (do submit yourselves *K(O)*) as to the Lord;

23 for the husband is the head of the wife, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body.

for (the *k*) husband is head of the wife as also Christ [is the] head of the church, (and *k*) He Himself (is *k*) Savior of the body;

24 But as the church is subject to the Christ, so, also, let the wives be subject to their own husbands in every thing.

But (even as *N(k)O*) the church is subjected to Christ so also wives (to [their] own *K*) husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it,

you who [are] Husbands, do love the wives (of your own *K*) even as also Christ loved the church and Himself gave up for her

26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of water through the word,

so that her He may sanctify having cleansed [her] by the washing of water by declaration

27 in order that he might present it to himself a glorious church, having neither stain, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

so that may present (He himself *N(k)O*) to Himself in glory the church not having spot or wrinkle or any of the such things, but that it may be holy and blameless.

28 So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself;

So ought (also *no*) husbands to love the their own wives as the their own bodies. The [one] loving the his own wife himself loves;

29 for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Christ the church:

no [one] for at any time the his own flesh hated, but he nourishes and he cherishes it even as also [does] (Christ *N(K)O*) the church,

30 because we are members of his body, being of his flesh, and of his bones.

for members we are of the body of Him (from the flesh of Him and from the of bones of Him. *K*)

31 For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.

Because of this will leave a man the father (of him *k*) and mother and will be joined to (the wife *NK(o)*) of him, and will be the two into flesh one.

32 Great is this mystery; but I speak of Christ and of the church.

mystery this great is, I myself however speak as to Christ and as to the church.

33 But yet, let each one of you so love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.

However also you according to individual, each the his own wife so should love as himself, and the wife that she may respect the husband.
