Ephesians 5 Pros Efesioin 5
1genovōr oun mimētois tou theou, hōs tekneim agapēteim,Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children, 2kai peripatavōr en agapa, kathōs kai tos Christos agapata ⸀nin kai paradōata heauton huper ⸀nu prosforan kai thusian to theo eis osman euōdiau.and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God.
3Porneias de kai ⸂akatharsias pantas⸃ ē pleonexias mēde onomazotōr en vi, kathōs prepatō hagioi,But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed. 4kai aischrotas kai mōrologias ē eutrapelias, ⸂heim ouk anēkate,⸃ alla mallon eucharistias.Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving. 5houtem gar ⸀oidavēr gnōskarōntois hoti pantos pornos ē akathartos ē pleonektos, ⸀hem atō eidōlolatros, ouk echatō klēronomian en ta basileia tou Christou kai theou.For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6Mēdenos vin apatatōr kenoi logoi, dia houteim gar erchotō tas orgas tou theou epi toin huioin tau apeitheiau.Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience. 7mē oun genovōr summetochois autoiu;Therefore do not be partakers with them. 8ave gar pote skotem, nun de fōtem en kurio; hōs tekneim fōteu peripatavōr,For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, 9tos gar karpos teu ⸀fōteu en panta agathōsuna kai dikaiosuna kai alētheia,for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. 10dokimazarōntois tinem atō euarestem to kurio;Test and prove what pleases the Lord. 11kai mē sunkoinōnavōr tei ergei tei akarpei teu skoteu, mallon de kai elenchavōr,Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12teim gar krufē genorōnteim hupo autoiu aischrem atō kai legarō;For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13teim de panteim elenchorōnteim hupo teu fōteu fanerotō,But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself. 14pantem gar tem fanerorōntem fōtem atō. dio legatō; Egerasōr, tos katheudarōntor, kai anastēasar ek toiu nekroiu, kai epifauskati si tos Christos.So it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
15Blepavōr oun ⸂akribōs pōs⸃ peripatavō, mē hōs asofois alla hōs sofois,Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16exagorazorōntois ton kairon, hoti tais hēmerais ponērais alō.redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17dia houtem mē genovōr afronois, alla ⸀suniēkavōr tinem tem thelēmem tou kuriou;Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18kai mē methuskovōr oino, en ho atō asōtias, alla plērovōr en pneume,Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19lalarōntois ⸀heautoi psalmoi kai humnoi kai ōdai pneumatikai, adarōntois kai ⸀psallarōntois ta kardia vu to kurio,Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord, 20eucharistarōntois pantote huper panteiu en onome tou kuriou nu Iēsu Christou to theo kai patro,always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 21hupotassorōntois allēloi en fobo Christou.Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22Tais gunaikair toi idioi ⸀androi hōs to kurio,Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23hoti andros atō kefalas tau gunaikau hōs kai tos Christos kefalas tau ekklēsau, ⸀autos sōtēros teu sōmeu.For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior. 24alla ⸀hōs tas ekklēsas hupotassotō to Christo, houtōs kai tais gunaikais ⸀toi androi en pante.Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25Tois androir, agapavōr tain ⸀gunaikain, kathōs kai tos Christos agapata tan ekklēsan kai heauton paradōata huper autau,Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her 26hina autan hagiazateia katharizarantos te loutre teu hudeu en rēme,to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27hina parastēateia ⸀autos heauto endoxan tan ekklēsan, mē echarōntan spilon ē rutidan ē tinem teiu toiouteiu, alla hina ateiō hagias kai amōmas.and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless. 28houtōs ofeilalō ⸀kai tois androis agaparō tain heautoiu gunaikain hōs teim heautoiu sōmeim; tos agaparōntos tan heautou gunaikan heauton agapatō,In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29oudenos gar pote tan heautou sarkan misata, alla ektrefatō kai thalpatō autan, kathōs kai tos ⸀Christos tan ekklēsan,Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church. 30hoti meleim anō teu sōmeu ⸀autou.For we are members of His body. 31anti houteu kataleipati anthrōpos ⸀ton ⸀patron kai ⸀tan mētēran kai proskolliti ⸂ta gunaika⸃ autou, kai eli tois duo eis sarkan henan.“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32tem mustēriem houtem megem atō, mis de legamō eis Christon kai eis tan ekklēsan.This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church. 33plēn kai vis tois kata henon hekastos tan heautou gunaikan houtōs agapatōr hōs heauton, tas de gunaikas hina foboteiō ton andron.Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
