Walk in Love
Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
Imitators of God
Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children,
Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children,
And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.
But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;
But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints;
neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving.
For this ye are [well] informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Walk in Light
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
Children of Light
for ye were once darkness, but now light in [the] Lord; walk as children of light,
for ye were once darkness, but now light in [the] Lord; walk as children of light,
(for the fruit of the light [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth,)
and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove [them],
For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say.
But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.
Therefore He says:
“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
Wherefore he says, Wake up, [thou] that sleepest, and arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.
See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,
Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what [is] the will of the Lord.
And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,
speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord;
giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
giving thanks at all times for all things to him [who is] God and [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
submitting yourselves to one another in [the] fear of Christ.
Marriage — Christ and the Church
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Wives and Husbands
Wives, [submit yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the Lord,
Wives, [submit yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the Lord,
For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly. *He* [is] Saviour of the body.
Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it,
in order that he might sanctify it, purifying [it] by the washing of water by [the] word,
that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
that *he* might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless.
So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself.
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly:
for we are members of his body; [we are of his flesh, and of his bones.]
“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.
This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
This mystery is great, but *I* speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.
