Ephesians 5
1 Be, therefore, imitators of God, as beloved children;
Γίνεσθε οὖν μιμηταὶ τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς τέκνα ἀγαπητὰ
2 and walk in love, even as Christ has loved us, and has given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God, for a sweet smelling savor.
καὶ περιπατεῖτε ἐν ἀγάπῃ καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν (ἡμᾶς *NK(O)*) καὶ παρέδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ (ἡμῶν *NK(O)*) προσφορὰν καὶ θυσίαν τῷ θεῷ εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας.
3 But whoredom, and all uncleanness, and inordinate desire-- let them not even be named among you; (as it becomes saints; )
Πορνεία δὲ καὶ ἀκαθαρσία πᾶσα ἢ πλεονεξία μηδὲ ὀνομαζέσθω ἐν ὑμῖν καθὼς πρέπει ἁγίοις
4 nor obscenity, nor foolish talking, nor double meanings, nor things uncomely; but rather thanksgiving.
καὶ αἰσχρότης καὶ μωρολογία ἢ εὐτραπελία (ἃ *N(k)O*) οὐκ (ἀνῆκεν *N(k)O*) ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εὐχαριστία.
5 For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor lascivious man, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.
τοῦτο γὰρ (ἴστε *N(k)O*) γινώσκοντες ὅτι πᾶς πόρνος ἢ ἀκάθαρτος ἢ πλεονέκτης, (ὅ *N(k)O*) ἐστιν εἰδωλολάτρης, οὐκ ἔχει κληρονομίαν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ.
6 Let no one deceive you with vain speeches; for on account of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.
Μηδεὶς ὑμᾶς ἀπατάτω κενοῖς λόγοις· διὰ ταῦτα γὰρ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας.
7 Be not, therefore, participants with them.
μὴ οὖν γίνεσθε συμμέτοχοι αὐτῶν.
8 For you were formerly darkness; but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light.
ἦτε γάρ ποτε σκότος νῦν δὲ φῶς ἐν κυρίῳ· ὡς τέκνα φωτὸς περιπατεῖτε,
9 (Now, the fruit of life consists in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth.)
ὁ γὰρ καρπὸς τοῦ (φωτὸς *N(K)O*) ἐν πάσῃ ἀγαθωσύνῃ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ,
10 Approve what is well pleasing to the Lord.
δοκιμάζοντες τί ἐστιν εὐάρεστον τῷ κυρίῳ.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
καὶ μὴ συγκοινωνεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς ἀκάρποις τοῦ σκότους, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε·
12 For the things which are secretly done by them, it is base even to mention.
τὰ γὰρ κρυφῇ γινόμενα ὑπ᾽ αὐτῶν αἰσχρόν ἐστιν καὶ λέγειν.
13 But all these reprehensible things are made manifest by the light; for whatever makes manifest is light.
τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐλεγχόμενα ὑπὸ τοῦ φωτὸς φανεροῦται· πᾶν γὰρ τὸ φανερούμενον φῶς ἐστιν·
14 Wherefore, it says, Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon you.
διὸ λέγει· (ἔγειρε *N(k)O*) ὁ καθεύδων καὶ ἀνάστα ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ἐπιφαύσει σοι ὁ Χριστός.
15 See, then, that you walk accurately: not as fools, but as wise men;
Βλέπετε οὖν ἀκριβῶς πῶς περιπατεῖτε μὴ ὡς ἄσοφοι ἀλλ᾽ ὡς σοφοί,
16 redeeming time, because the days are evil.
ἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν, ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσιν.
17 Therefore be not simpletons, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
διὰ τοῦτο μὴ γίνεσθε ἄφρονες, ἀλλὰ (συνίετε *N(k)O*) τί τὸ θέλημα τοῦ κυρίου.
18 And we not drunk with wine, by which comes dissoluteness; but be filled with the Spirit:
καὶ μὴ μεθύσκεσθε οἴνῳ, ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἀσωτία, ἀλλὰ πληροῦσθε ἐν πνεύματι
19 speaking to one another in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs; singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord:
λαλοῦντες ἑαυτοῖς (ἐν *n*) ψαλμοῖς καὶ ὕμνοις καὶ ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς, ᾄδοντες καὶ ψάλλοντες (ἐν *ko*) τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν τῷ κυρίῳ,
20 giving thanks at all times for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father.
εὐχαριστοῦντες πάντοτε ὑπὲρ πάντων ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρί·
21 Be subject to one another, in the fear of God.
ὑποτασσόμενοι ἀλλήλοις ἐν φόβῳ (Χριστοῦ. *N(K)O*)
22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Αἱ γυναῖκες, τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν (ὑποτάσσεσθε *K(O)*) ὡς τῷ κυρίῳ·
23 For the husband is head of the wife, even as Christ is head of the congregation; he is the saviour of the body.
ὅτι (ὁ *k*) ἀνήρ ἐστιν κεφαλὴ τῆς γυναικὸς ὡς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς κεφαλὴ τῆς ἐκκλησίας, (καὶ *k*) αὐτὸς (ἐστιν *k*) σωτὴρ τοῦ σώματος·
24 Therefore, as the congregation is subject to Christ; so, also, let the wives be to their own husbands, in everything.
ἀλλ᾽ (ὡς *N(k)O*) ἡ ἐκκλησία ὑποτάσσεται τῷ Χριστῷ οὕτως καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς (ἰδίοις *K*) ἀνδράσιν ἐν παντί.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ, also, loved the congregation, and gave himself for it;
Οἱ ἄνδρες, ἀγαπᾶτε τὰς γυναῖκας (ἑαυτῶν *K*) καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ ἑαυτὸν παρέδωκεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς
26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with a bath of water, with the word.
ἵνα αὐτὴν ἁγιάσῃ καθαρίσας τῷ λουτρῷ τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν ῥήματι,
27 That he might present it to himself glorious, a congregation not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it might be holy, and without blemish.
ἵνα παραστήσῃ (αὐτὸς *N(k)O*) ἑαυτῷ ἔνδοξον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν μὴ ἔχουσαν σπίλον ἢ ῥυτίδα ἤ τι τῶν τοιούτων, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ ἄμωμος.
28 So ought husbands to love their own wives, as their own bodies: he who loves his own wife, loves himself.
οὕτως ὀφείλουσιν (καὶ *no*) οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶν τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖκας ὡς τὰ ἑαυτῶν σώματα. ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα ἑαυτὸν ἀγαπᾷ·
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord the congregation:
οὐδεὶς γάρ ποτε τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σάρκα ἐμίσησεν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκτρέφει καὶ θάλπει αὐτὴν καθὼς καὶ ὁ (Χριστὸς *N(K)O*) τὴν ἐκκλησίαν,
30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
ὅτι μέλη ἐσμὲν τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ (ἐκ τῆς σαρκός αὐτοῦ καί ἐκ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτοῦ. *K*)
31 For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall adhere to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.
ἀντὶ τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τὸν πατέρα (αὐτοῦ *k*) καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ προσκολληθήσεται πρὸς (τὴν γυναῖκα *NK(o)*) αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν.
32 This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and the congregation.
τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο μέγα ἐστίν, ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω εἰς Χριστὸν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν.
33 Therefore, also, let every one of you in particular, so love his own wife as himself; and let the wife reverence her husband.
πλὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς οἱ καθ᾽ ἕνα, ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα οὕτως ἀγαπάτω ὡς ἑαυτόν, ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἵνα φοβῆται τὸν ἄνδρα.
