Ephesians 5
1 Therefore be imitators of God, as dearly loved children.
γινεσθε ουν μιμηται του θεου ως τεκνα αγαπητα
2 And walk in love, as also Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
και περιπατειτε εν αγαπη καθως και ο χριστος ηγαπησεν ημας και παρεδωκεν εαυτον υπερ ημων προσφοραν και θυσιαν τω θεω εις οσμην ευωδιας
3 But there must not be even a suggestion among you of sexual immorality or any kind of impurity or of greed, for these are improper for God's holy people.
πορνεια δε και πασα ακαθαρσια η πλεονεξια μηδε ονομαζεσθω εν υμιν καθως πρεπει αγιοις
4 Let there be no filthiness, no foolish talk, and no crude jokes—all of which are improper. Instead there should be thanksgiving.
και αισχροτης και μωρολογια η ευτραπελια τα ουκ ανηκοντα αλλα μαλλον ευχαριστια
5 For you can be sure of this, that no sexually immoral, impure, or greedy person—that is, an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
τουτο γαρ εστε γινωσκοντες οτι πας πορνος η ακαθαρτος η πλεονεκτης ος εστιν ειδωλολατρης ουκ εχει κληρονομιαν εν τη βασιλεια του χριστου και θεου
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the anger of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience.
μηδεις υμας απατατω κενοις λογοις δια ταυτα γαρ ερχεται η οργη του θεου επι τους υιους της απειθειας
7 Therefore, do not join in with them.
μη ουν γινεσθε συμμετοχοι αυτων
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
ητε γαρ ποτε σκοτος νυν δε φως εν κυριω ως τεκνα φωτος περιπατειτε
9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),
ο γαρ καρπος του πνευματος εν παση αγαθωσυνη και δικαιοσυνη και αληθεια
10 and find out what is pleasing to the Lord.
δοκιμαζοντες τι εστιν ευαρεστον τω κυριω
11 Do not associate with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
και μη συγκοινωνειτε τοις εργοις τοις ακαρποις του σκοτους μαλλον δε και ελεγχετε
12 For it is shameful even to mention the things they do in secret.
τα γαρ κρυφη γινομενα υπ αυτων αισχρον εστιν και λεγειν
13 But when anything is illuminated by the light, it becomes visible.
τα δε παντα ελεγχομενα υπο του φωτος φανερουται παν γαρ το φανερουμενον φως εστιν
14 For anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, you sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
διο λεγει εγειραι ο καθευδων και αναστα εκ των νεκρων και επιφαυσει σοι ο χριστος
15 Look carefully how you live—not as unwise but as wise.
βλεπετε ουν πως ακριβως περιπατειτε μη ως ασοφοι αλλ ως σοφοι
16 Redeem the time because the days are evil.
εξαγοραζομενοι τον καιρον οτι αι ημεραι πονηραι εισιν
17 Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
δια τουτο μη γινεσθε αφρονες αλλα συνιεντες τι το θελημα του κυριου
18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that leads to reckless behavior. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,
και μη μεθυσκεσθε οινω εν ω εστιν ασωτια αλλα πληρουσθε εν πνευματι
19 speaking to each other in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart,
λαλουντες εαυτοις ψαλμοις και υμνοις και ωδαις πνευματικαις αδοντες και ψαλλοντες εν τη καρδια υμων τω κυριω
20 always giving thanks for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father,
ευχαριστουντες παντοτε υπερ παντων εν ονοματι του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου τω θεω και πατρι
21 submitting yourselves to one another in reverence for Christ.
υποτασσομενοι αλληλοις εν φοβω θεου
22 Wives, submit to your husbands, as to the Lord.
αι γυναικες τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν υποτασσεσθε ως τω κυριω
23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ also is the head of the church, and Christ himself is its savior.
οτι ο ανηρ εστιν κεφαλη της γυναικος ως και ο χριστος κεφαλη της εκκλησιας και αυτος εστιν σωτηρ του σωματος
24 But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives must submit to their husbands in everything.
αλλ ωσπερ η εκκλησια υποτασσεται τω χριστω ουτως και αι γυναικες τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν εν παντι
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
οι ανδρες αγαπατε τας γυναικας εαυτων καθως και ο χριστος ηγαπησεν την εκκλησιαν και εαυτον παρεδωκεν υπερ αυτης
26 Christ gave himself for the church so that he might make her holy, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
ινα αυτην αγιαση καθαρισας τω λουτρω του υδατος εν ρηματι
27 so that he might present her to himself as glorious, without stain or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and without fault.
ινα παραστηση αυτην εαυτω ενδοξον την εκκλησιαν μη εχουσαν σπιλον η ρυτιδα η τι των τοιουτων αλλ ινα η αγια και αμωμος
28 In the same way husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
ουτως οφειλουσιν οι ανδρες αγαπαν τας εαυτων γυναικας ως τα εαυτων σωματα ο αγαπων την εαυτου γυναικα εαυτον αγαπα
29 For no one ever hated his own body, but nourishes and treats it with care, just as Christ nourishes and treats the church with care,
ουδεις γαρ ποτε την εαυτου σαρκα εμισησεν αλλ εκτρεφει και θαλπει αυτην καθως και ο κυριος την εκκλησιαν
30 because we are members of his body.
οτι μελη εσμεν του σωματος αυτου εκ της σαρκος αυτου και εκ των οστεων αυτου
31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
αντι τουτου καταλειψει ανθρωπος τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα και προσκολληθησεται προς την γυναικα αυτου και εσονται οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν
32 This hidden truth is great—but I am speaking about Christ and the church.
το μυστηριον τουτο μεγα εστιν εγω δε λεγω εις χριστον και εις την εκκλησιαν
33 Nevertheless, each of you also must love his own wife as himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
πλην και υμεις οι καθ ενα εκαστος την εαυτου γυναικα ουτως αγαπατω ως εαυτον η δε γυνη ινα φοβηται τον ανδρα
