Ephesians 5
1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
Γίνεσθε οὖν μιμηταὶ τοῦ θεοῦ, ὡς τέκνα ἀγαπητά·
2 And walk in love, even as Messiah also loved us, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
καὶ περιπατεῖτε ἐν ἀγάπῃ, καθὼς καὶ ὁ χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν ὑμᾶς καὶ παρέδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν προσφορὰν καὶ θυσίαν τῷ θεῷ εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας.
3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes kadoshim;
πορνεία δὲ καὶ ἀκαθαρσία πᾶσα ἢ πλεονεξία μηδὲ ὀνομαζέσθω ἐν ὑμῖν, καθὼς πρέπει ἁγίοις·
4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.
καὶ αἰσχρότης καὶ μωρολογία ἢ εὐτραπελία, ἃ οὐκ ἀνῆκεν, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εὐχαριστία.
5 Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral or impure or greedy person, that is, an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Messiah and God.
τοῦτο γὰρ ἴστε γινώσκοντες, ὅτι πᾶς πόρνος ἢ ἀκάθαρτος ἢ πλεονέκτης, ὅ ἐστιν εἰδωλολάτρης, οὐκ ἔχει κληρονομίαν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
μηδεὶς ὑμᾶς ἀπατάτω κενοῖς λόγοις· διὰ ταῦτα γὰρ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας.
7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.
μὴ οὖν γίνεσθε συμμέτοχοι αὐτῶν.
8 For you were once darkness, but are now 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 light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
(ὁ γὰρ καρπὸς τοῦ φωτὸς ἐν πάσῃ ἀγαθωσύνῃ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ)·
10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
δοκιμάζοντες τί ἐστιν εὐάρεστον τῷ κυρίῳ·
11 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 done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
τὰ γὰρ κρυφῆ γινόμενα ὑπ᾽ αὐτῶν αἰσχρόν ἐστιν καὶ λέγειν.
13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐλεγχόμενα ὑπὸ τοῦ φωτὸς φανεροῦται·
14 Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and rise from the dead, and Messiah will shine on you."
πᾶν γὰρ τὸ φανερούμενον φῶς ἐστίν· διὸ λέγει, Ἔγειρε ὁ καθεύδων καὶ ἀνάστα ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ἐπιφαύσει σοι ὁ χριστός.
15 Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
Βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκριβῶς περιπατεῖτε, μὴ ὡς ἄσοφοι, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς σοφοί,
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
ἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν, ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσιν.
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
διὰ τοῦτο μὴ γίνεσθε ἄφρονες, ἀλλὰ συνίετε τί τὸ θέλημα τοῦ κυρίου.
18 Do not get drunk with wine, which is debauchery, but be filled with the Ruach,
καὶ μὴ μεθύσκεσθε οἴνῳ, ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἀσωτία, ἀλλὰ πληροῦσθε ἐν πνεύματι,
19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your heart to the Lord;
λαλοῦντες ἑαυτοῖς ψαλμοῖς καὶ ὕμνοις καὶ ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς, ᾄδοντες καὶ ψάλλοντες [ἐν] τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν τῷ κυρίῳ,
20 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to God the Father;
εὐχαριστοῦντες πάντοτε ὑπὲρ πάντων ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρί·
21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Messiah.
ὑποτασσόμενοι ἀλλήλοις ἐν φόβῳ χριστοῦ.
22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
Αἱ γυναῖκες, τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ὑποτασσέ σθωσαν ὡς τῷ κυρίῳ·
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Messiah also is the head of the congregation, being himself the savior of the body.
ὅτι ἀνήρ ἐστιν κεφαλὴ τῆς γυναικὸς ὡς καὶ ὁ χριστὸς κεφαλὴ τῆς ἐκκλησίας, αὐτὸς σωτὴρ τοῦ σώματος·
24 But as the congregation is subject to Messiah, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.
ἀλλὰ ὡς ἡ ἐκκλησία ὑποτάσσεται τῷ χριστῷ, οὕτως καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἀνδράσιν ἐν παντί.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Messiah also loved the congregation, and gave himself up for it;
οἱ ἄνδρες, ἀγαπᾶτε τὰς γυναῖκας, καθὼς καὶ ὁ χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, καὶ ἑαυτὸν παρέδωκεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς·
26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
ἵνα αὐτὴν ἁγιάσῃ, καθαρίσας τῷ λουτρῷ τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν ῥήματι,
27 that he might present the congregation to himself gloriously, 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 τι τῶν τοιούτων, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ ἄμωμος.
28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
οὕτως ὀφείλουσιν καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶν τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖκας ὡς τὰ ἑαυτῶν σώματα. ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα ἑαυτὸν ἀγαπᾷ·
29 For no one ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Messiah also does the congregation;
οὐδεὶς γάρ ποτε τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σάρκα ἐμίσησεν, ἀλλὰ ἐκτρέφει καὶ θάλπει αὐτήν, καθὼς καὶ ὁ χριστὸς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν·
30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.
ὅτι μέλη ἐσμὲν τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ,
31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."
Ἀντὶ τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος πατέρα καὶ μητέρα, καὶ προσκολληθήσεται τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν.
32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Messiah and of the congregation.
τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο μέγα ἐστίν, ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω εἰς χριστὸν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν.
33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
πλὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς οἱ καθ᾽ ἕνα, ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα οὕτως ἀγαπάτω ὡς ἑαυτόν, ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἵνα φοβῆται τὸν ἄνδρα.
