Ephesians 5
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
所以，你們該效法上帝，好像蒙慈愛的兒女一樣。
2 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.
也要憑愛心行事，正如基督愛我們，為我們捨了自己，當作馨香的供物和祭物，獻與上帝。
3 But immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
至於淫亂並一切污穢，或是貪婪，在你們中間連提都不可，方合聖徒的體統。
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
淫詞、妄語，和戲笑的話都不相宜；總要說感謝的話。
5 For this ye know, that no immoral, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
因為你們確實地知道，無論是淫亂的，是污穢的，是有貪心的，在基督和上帝的國裏都是無分的。有貪心的，就與拜偶像的一樣。
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
不要被人虛浮的話欺哄；因這些事，上帝的忿怒必臨到那悖逆之子。
7 Be ye not therefore partakers with them.
所以，你們不要與他們同夥。
8 For ye were once darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
從前你們是暗昧的，但如今在主裏面是光明的，行事為人就當像光明的子女。
9 ( For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; )
光明所結的果子就是一切良善、公義、誠實。
10 Proving what is acceptable to the Lord.
總要察驗何為主所喜悅的事。
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
那暗昧無益的事，不要與人同行，倒要責備行這事的人；
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
因為他們暗中所行的，就是提起來也是可恥的。
13 But all things that are reproved are made visible by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light.
凡事受了責備，就被光顯明出來，因為一切能顯明的就是光。
14 Therefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
所以主說： 你這睡着的人當醒過來， 從死裏復活！ 基督就要光照你了。
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
你們要謹慎行事，不要像愚昧人，當像智慧人。
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
要愛惜光陰，因為現今的世代邪惡。
17 Therefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
不要作糊塗人，要明白主的旨意如何。
18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
不要醉酒，酒能使人放蕩；乃要被聖靈充滿。
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
當用詩章、頌詞、靈歌彼此對說，口唱心和地讚美主。
20 Giving thanks always for all things to God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
凡事要奉我們主耶穌基督的名常常感謝父上帝。
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
又當存敬畏基督的心，彼此順服。
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
你們作妻子的，當順服自己的丈夫，如同順服主。
23 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.
因為丈夫是妻子的頭，如同基督是教會的頭；他又是教會全體的救主。
24 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
教會怎樣順服基督，妻子也要怎樣凡事順服丈夫。
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
你們作丈夫的，要愛你們的妻子，正如基督愛教會，為教會捨己。
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
要用水藉着道把教會洗淨，成為聖潔，
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
可以獻給自己，作個榮耀的教會，毫無玷污、皺紋等類的病，乃是聖潔沒有瑕疵的。
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
丈夫也當照樣愛妻子，如同愛自己的身子；愛妻子便是愛自己了。
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
從來沒有人恨惡自己的身子，總是保養顧惜，正像基督待教會一樣，
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
因我們是他身上的肢體。
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
為這個緣故，人要離開父母，與妻子連合，二人成為一體。
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
這是極大的奧祕，但我是指着基督和教會說的。
33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
然而，你們各人都當愛妻子，如同愛自己一樣。妻子也當敬重她的丈夫。
