¹ Become ye, therefore, imitators of God, as children beloved,² And walk in love - even as, the Christ also, loved you, and delivered himself up in your behalf, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for a fragrance of sweet smell.

³ But, fornication, and all impurity, or covetousness, let it not be named among you - even as becometh saints;⁴ And shamelessness and foolish talking, or jesting, - which things are beneath you, - but, rather, giving of thanks;⁵ For, this, ye know, if ye take note - that no fornicator, or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.⁶ Let no one be deceiving you with empty words; for, because of these things, is coming the anger of God upon the sons of obstinacy:⁷ Do not, then, become co-partners with them;⁸ For ye were, at one time, darkness, but, now, are ye light in the Lord, - as children of light, be walking,⁹ For, the fruit of the light, is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth, - ¹⁰ Putting to the test what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;¹¹ And be not joining in fellowship in the unfruitful works of darkness, but, rather, be even administering reproof;¹² For, of the secret things which are brought to pass by them, it is, shameful, even to speak!¹³ All things, however, when reproved by the light, become manifest, for, all that of itself maketh manifest, is, light;¹⁴ Wherefore it saith - Up! thou sleeper, and arise from among the dead, and the Christ will shine upon thee.¹⁵ Be taking heed, therefore, exactly how ye are walking, - not as unwise, but as wise, - ¹⁶ Buying out for yourselves the opportunity, because, the days, are evil;¹⁷ For this cause, do not become foolish, but have discernment as to what is the will of the Lord;¹⁸ And be not getting drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be getting filled in Spirit; - ¹⁹ Speaking to yourselves, with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs; singing, and striking the strings, with your heart unto the Lord;²⁰ Giving thanks, always, for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto your God and Father;

²¹ Submitting yourselves one to another in reverence of Christ, - ²² Ye wives, unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord,²³ Because, a husband, is the head of his wife, as, the Christ also, is the head of the assembly, he, being the saviour of the body, - ²⁴ Nevertheless, as, the assembly, submitteth herself unto the Christ, so, the wives, unto their husbands, in everything:²⁵ Ye husbands, be loving your wives, even as, the Christ also, loved the assembly, and delivered, himself, up in her behalf,²⁶ That, her, he might sanctify, having purified her with the bath of water, in declaration,²⁷ That, he, might present, unto himself, the assembly, all glorious, not having spot or wrinkle or any of such things, but that she should be holy and blameless;²⁸ So, ought the husbands also to be loving their own wives, as their own bodies, - he that loveth his own wife, loveth himself,²⁹ No one, in fact, ever yet hated, his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, - even as, the Christ, the assembly,³⁰ Because, members, are we of his body; - ³¹ For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and will cleave unto his wife, and, they two, shall become, one flesh.³² This sacred secret, is, great, - I, however, am speaking as to Christ and as tothe assembly; - ³³ Nevertheless, ye also, do ye, individually, each man be so loving, his own wife, as himself, and, the wife, see that she reverence her husband.
