Ephesians 5

1Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.

γινεσθε ουν μιμηται του θεου ως τεκνα αγαπητα,

2And 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.

και περιπατειτε εν αγαπη, καθως και ο χριστος ηγαπησεν ημας και παρεδωκεν εαυτον υπερ ημων προσφοραν και θυσιαν τω θεω εις οσμην ευωδιας.

3But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;

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

4neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

και αισχροτης και μωρολογια η ευτραπελια, τα ουκ ανηκοντα, αλλα μαλλον ευχαριστια.

5For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

τουτο γαρ εστε γινωσκοντες, οτι πας πορνος η ακαθαρτος η πλεονεκτης, ος εστιν ειδωλολατρης, ουκ εχει κληρονομιαν εν τη βασιλεια του χριστου και θεου.

6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

μηδεις υμας απατατω κενοις λογοις· δια ταυτα γαρ ερχεται η οργη του θεου επι τους υιους της απειθειας.

7Therefore do not be partakers with them.

μη ουν γινεσθε συμμετοχοι αυτων.

8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

ητε γαρ ποτε σκοτος, νυν δε φως εν κυριω· ως τεκνα φωτος περιπατειτε· —

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

ο γαρ καρπος του πνευματος εν παση αγαθωσυνη και δικαιοσυνη και αληθεια· —

10finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

δοκιμαζοντες τι εστιν ευαρεστον τω κυριω.

11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

και μη συγκοινωνειτε τοις εργοις τοις ακαρποις του σκοτους, μαλλον δε και ελεγχετε·

12For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

τα γαρ κρυφη γινομενα υπ αυτων αισχρον εστιν και λεγειν·

13But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

τα δε παντα ελεγχομενα υπο του φωτος φανερουται· παν γαρ το φανερουμενον φως εστιν.

14Therefore He says: Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.'

διο λεγει· εγειρε ο καθευδων και αναστα εκ των νεκρων, και επιφαυσει σοι ο χριστος.

15See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

βλεπετε ουν πως ακριβως περιπατειτε, μη ως ασοφοι, αλλ ως σοφοι,

16redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

εξαγοραζομενοι τον καιρον, οτι αι ημεραι πονηραι εισιν.

17Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

δια τουτο μη γινεσθε αφρονες, αλλα συνιεντες τι το θελημα του κυριου.

18And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

και μη μεθυσκεσθε οινω, εν ω εστιν ασωτια, αλλα πληρουσθε εν πνευματι,

19speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

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

20giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

ευχαριστουντες παντοτε υπερ παντων εν ονοματι του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου τω θεω και πατρι,

21submitting to one another in the fear of God.

υποτασσομενοι αλληλοις εν φοβω χριστου.

22Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

αι γυναικες τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν υποτασσεσθε ως τω κυριω,

23For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

οτι [ο] ανηρ εστιν κεφαλη της γυναικος, ως και ο χριστος κεφαλη της εκκλησιας, και αυτος εστιν σωτηρ του σωματος.

24Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

αλλ ωσπερ η εκκλησια υποτασσεται τω χριστω, ουτως και αι γυναικες τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν εν παντι.

25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

οι ανδρες αγαπατε τας γυναικας εαυτων, καθως και ο χριστος ηγαπησεν την εκκλησιαν και εαυτον παρεδωκεν υπερ αυτης,

26that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,

ινα αυτην αγιαση καθαρισας τω λουτρω του υδατος εν ρηματι,

27that 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.

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

28So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

ουτως οφειλουσιν οι ανδρες αγαπαν τας εαυτων γυναικας ως τα εαυτων σωματα. ο αγαπων την εαυτου γυναικα εαυτον αγαπα·

29For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

ουδεις γαρ ποτε την εαυτου σαρκα εμισησεν, αλλ εκτρεφει και θαλπει αυτην, καθως και ο κυριος την εκκλησιαν·

30For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.

οτι μελη εσμεν του σωματος αυτου, εκ της σαρκος αυτου και εκ των οστεων αυτου·

31'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.'

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

32This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

το μυστηριον τουτο μεγα εστιν, εγω δε λεγω εις χριστον και εις την εκκλησιαν.

33Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

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