¹ Be therefore imitators of Aloha, as beloved children;² and walk in love, as the Meshiha also loved us, and delivered himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to Aloha of a fragrant smell.

³ BUT fornication and all uncleanness and covetousness, let them not be even heard among you, as it becometh the saints;⁴ neither filthiness, nor words of folly, or of jeering, or fables, which are not necessary, but, instead of these, thanksgiving.⁵ But this know, that any man who is a fornicator, or impure, or covetous, or an idolater, hath no inheritance in the kingdom of the Meshiha and of Aloha;⁶ lest any man deceive you with vain words; for because of these cometh the anger of Aloha upon the sons of disobedience.⁷ Be not, therefore, participators with them.⁸ For you were before darkness, but now you are light in our Lord. As the sons of light, then, so walk.⁹ For the fruits of the light are in all goodness and rectitude and truth.¹⁰ And be discerning of that which is good before our Lord.¹¹ And have no communion with the works of darkness, which have no fruits, but reprove them.¹² For that which in secrecy they do it is execrable even to mention.¹³ For every thing is exposed by the light, and is revealed, and whatever revealeth is light.¹⁴ Wherefore it is said, Awake thou who sleepest, And arise from the dead, And the Meshiha shall enlighten thee.¹⁵ See then that you walk vigilantly, not as fools,¹⁶ but as the wise who redeem their opportunity, because the days are evil.¹⁷ On account of this, be not wanting in mind, but understand what is the will of Aloha.¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is intemperance, but be filled with the Spirit.¹⁹ And discourse with yourselves with psalms and with hymns and with songs of the Spirit, singing with your hearts unto the Lord.²⁰ And give thanks always on behalf of every man in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto Aloha the Father.

²¹ And be subject one to another in the love of the Meshiha.²² WIVES, be subject to your husbands as to our Lord.²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, as the Meshiha is the head of the church, and he himself is the Saviour of the body.²⁴ But as the church is subject to Meshiha, so also (should) wives be unto their husbands in every thing.²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as also the Meshiha loved his church, and gave himself for her,²⁶ that he might sanctify her and purify her in the laver of waters and by the word,²⁷ and that he might constitute her a church unto himself, being glorified, and not having blemish or wrinkle or any thing like these; but to be holy and spotless.²⁸ So it becometh husbands to love their wives, as their own bodies. For he who his wife loveth, himself he loveth.²⁹ For no man ever hated his own body, but nourisheth it, and taketh care of it; so also the Meshiha (taketh care) of the church.³⁰ For we are members of his body, and of his flesh are we, and of his bones.³¹ Because of this a man leaveth his father and his mother, and cleaveth unto his wife, and they two become one flesh.³² This mystery is great; but I speak of the Meshiha and of his church.³³ Nevertheless let every one of you so love his wife as his own self; but let the wife reverence her husband.
