Ephesians 5

1 Become ye, therefore, imitators of God, as children beloved,

do be 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.

and do walk in love even as also Christ loved (us *NK+O) and gave up himself for (us *NK+O) [as] an offering and a sacrifice to God into an aroma of a sweet smell.

3 But, fornication, and all impurity, or covetousness, let it not be named among you—even as becometh saints;

Sexual immorality however and impurity all or covetousness not even should be named among you as is proper to saints

4 And shamelessness and foolish talking, or jesting, —which things are beneath you, —but, rather, giving of thanks;

and filthiness and foolish talking or crude joking (which *N+kO) not (were fit *N+kO) but rather thanksgiving.

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.

This for (you should know *N+kO) realizing that any fornicator or unclean person or covetous man, (who *N+kO) is an idolater, not has inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of 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:

No one you should deceive with empty words; because of these things for comes the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.

7 Do not, then, become co-partners with them;

Not therefore do be partakers with them.

8 For ye were, at one time, darkness, but, now, are ye light in the Lord, —as children of light, be walking,

You were for once darkness now however light in [the] Lord; as children of light do walk —

9 For, the fruit of the light, is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth, —

for the fruit of the (light [is] *N+KO) in all goodness and in righteousness and in truth —

10 Putting to the test what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;

discerning what is well-pleasing to the Lord.

11 And be not joining in fellowship in the unfruitful works of darkness, but, rather, be even administering reproof;

And not do have fellowship with the works unfruitful of darkness, rather however even do expose [them];

12 For, of the secret things which are brought to pass by them, it is, shameful, even to speak!

the [things] for in secret being done by them shameful it is even to mention.

13 All things, however, when reproved by the light, become manifest, for, all that of itself maketh manifest, is, light;

But everything being exposed by the light is made visible; everything for which is becoming visible light is;

14 Wherefore it saith—Up! thou sleeper, and arise from among the dead, and the Christ will shine upon thee.

Therefore it says: (do awake *N+kO) you who [are] sleeping and do rise up out from the dead, and will shine upon you Christ.

15 Be taking heed, therefore, exactly how ye are walking, —not as unwise, but as wise, —

do take heed therefore carefully how you walk not as unwise but as wise,

16 Buying out for yourselves the opportunity, because, the days, are evil;

redeeming the time, because the days evil are.

17 For this cause, do not become foolish, but have discernment as to what is the will of the Lord;

Because of this not do be foolish, but (do understand *N+kO) what the will of the Lord [is].

18 And be not getting drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be getting filled in Spirit; —

And not do be drunk with wine, in which is debauchery, Instead do be filled with [the] Spirit

19 Speaking to yourselves, with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs; singing, and striking the strings, with your heart unto the Lord;

speaking to each other (in *n) psalms and in hymns and in songs spiritual, singing and making melody (in *ko) the heart of you to the Lord,

20 Giving thanks, always, for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto your God and Father;

giving thanks at all times for all things in [the] name the Lord of us Jesus Christ to the God and Father;

21 Submitting yourselves one to another in reverence of Christ, —

Be submitting yourselves to one another in reverence (of Christ. *N+KO)

22 Ye wives, unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord,

you who [are] wives, to [your] own husbands (do submit yourselves *K+O) as to 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, —

for (the *k) husband is head of the wife as also Christ [is the] head of the church, (and *k) He Himself (is *k) Savior of the body;

24 Nevertheless, as, the assembly, submitteth herself unto the Christ, so, the wives, unto their husbands, in everything:

But (even as *N+kO) the church is subjected to Christ so also wives (to [their] own *K) 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,

you who [are] Husbands, do love the wives (of your own *K) even as also Christ loved the church and Himself gave up for her

26 That, her, he might sanctify, having purified [her] with the bath of water, in declaration,

so that her He may sanctify having cleansed [her] by the washing of water by 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;

so that may present (He himself *N+kO) to Himself in glory the church not having spot or wrinkle or any of the such things, but that it may 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,

So ought (also *no) husbands to love the their own wives as the their own bodies. The [one] loving the his own wife himself loves;

29 No one, in fact, ever yet hated, his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, —even as, the Christ, the assembly,

no [one] for at any time the his own flesh hated, but he nourishes and he cherishes it even as also [does] (Christ *N+KO) the church,

30 Because, members, are we of his body; —

for members we are of the body of Him (from the flesh of Him and from the of bones of Him. *K)

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.

Because of this will leave a man the father (of him *k) and mother and will be joined to (the wife *NK+o) of him, and will be the two into flesh one.

32 This sacred secret, is, great, —I, however, am speaking as to Christ and [as to] the assembly; —

mystery this great is, I myself however speak as to Christ and as to the church.

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.

However also you according to individual, each the his own wife so should love as himself, and the wife that she may respect the husband.
