5:1

Γινεσθε ουν μιμηται του Θεου ως τεκνα αγαπητα

Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;

5:2

και περιπατειτε εν αγαπη καθως και ο Χριστος ηγαπησεν ημας και παρεδωκεν εαυτον υπερ ημων προσφοραν και θυσιαν τω Θεω εις οσμην ευωδιας

and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.

5:3

Πορνεια δε και ακαθαρσια πασα η πλεονεξια μηδε ονομαζεσθω εν υμιν καθως πρεπει αγιοις

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

5:4

και αισχροτης και μωρολογια η ευτραπελια α ουκ ανηκεν αλλα μαλλον ευχαριστια

nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.

5:5

τουτο γαρ ιστε γινωσκοντες οτι πας πορνος η ακαθαρτος η πλεονεκτης ο εστιν ειδωλολατρης ουκ εχει κληρονομιαν εν τη βασιλεια του Χριστου και Θεου

For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

5:6

Μηδεις υμας απατατω κενοις λογοις δια ταυτα γαρ ερχεται η οργη του Θεου επι τους υιους της απειθειας

Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.

5:7

μη ουν γινεσθε συμμετοχοι αυτων

Be not ye therefore partakers with them;

5:8

Ητε γαρ ποτε σκοτος νυν δε φως εν Κυριω ως τεκνα φωτος περιπατειτε

for ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light

5:9

ο γαρ καρπος του φωτος εν παση αγαθωσυνη και δικαιοσυνη και αληθεια

(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

5:10

δοκιμαζοντες τι εστιν ευαρεστον τω Κυριω

proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;

5:11

Και μη συνκοινωνειτε τοις εργοις τοις ακαρποις του σκοτους μαλλον δε και ελεγχετε

and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;

5:12

τα γαρ κρυφη γινομενα υπ αυτων αισχρον εστιν και λεγειν

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

5:13

τα δε παντα ελεγχομενα υπο του φωτος φανερουται

But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.

5:14

παν γαρ το φανερουμενον φως εστιν διο λεγει Εγειρε ο καθευδων και αναστα εκ των νεκρων και επιφαυσει σοι ο Χριστος

Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

5:15

Βλεπετε ουν ακριβως πως περιπατειτε μη ως ασοφοι αλλ ως σοφοι

Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

5:16

εξαγοραζομενοι τον καιρον οτι αι ημεραι πονηραι εισιν

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

5:17

δια τουτο μη γινεσθε αφρονες αλλα συνιετε τι το θελημα του Κυριου

Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

5:18

και μη μεθυσκεσθε οινω εν ω εστιν ασωτια αλλα πληρουσθε εν Πνευματι

And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;

5:19

λαλουντες εαυτοις εν ψαλμοις και υμνοις και ωδαις πνευματικαις αδοντες και ψαλλοντες τη καρδια υμων τω Κυριω

speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

5:20

ευχαριστουντες παντοτε υπερ παντων εν ονοματι του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου τω Θεω και Πατρι

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

5:21

Υποτασσομενοι αλληλοις εν φοβω Χριστου

subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.

5:22

Αι γυναικες τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν ως τω Κυριω

Wives, be in subjection unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

5:23

οτι ανηρ εστιν κεφαλη της γυναικος ως και ο Χριστος κεφαλη της εκκλησιας αυτος σωτηρ του σωματος

For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.

5:24

αλλα ως η εκκλησια υποτασσεται τω Χριστω ουτως και αι γυναικες τοις ανδρασιν εν παντι

But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.

5:25

Οι ανδρες αγαπατε τας γυναικας καθως και ο Χριστος ηγαπησεν την εκκλησιαν και εαυτον παρεδωκεν υπερ αυτης

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;

¹

5:26

ινα αυτην αγιαση καθαρισας τω λουτρω του υδατος εν ρηματι

that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

5:27

ινα παραστηση αυτος εαυτω ενδοξον την εκκλησιαν μη εχουσαν σπιλον η ρυτιδα η τι των τοιουτων αλλ ινα η αγια και αμωμος

that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

5:28

Ουτως οφειλουσιν και οι ανδρες αγαπαν τας εαυτων γυναικας ως τα εαυτων σωματα ο αγαπων την εαυτου γυναικα εαυτον αγαπα

Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

5:29

ουδεις γαρ ποτε την εαυτου σαρκα εμισησεν αλλα εκτρεφει και θαλπει αυτην καθως και ο Χριστος την εκκλησιαν

for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;

5:30

οτι μελη εσμεν του σωματος αυτου

because we are members of his body.

5:31

Αντι τουτου καταλειψει ανθρωπος τον πατερα και την μητερα και προσκολληθησεται προς την γυναικα αυτου και εσονται οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν

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

5:32

το μυστηριον τουτο μεγα εστιν εγω δε λεγω εις Χριστον και εις την εκκλησιαν

This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.

5:33

πλην και υμεις οι καθ ενα εκαστος την εαυτου γυναικα ουτως αγαπατω ως εαυτον η δε γυνη ινα φοβηται τον ανδρα

Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she fear her husband.
