MODERN LITERAL VERSION 2019 VERSION

5:1 Therefore become* imitators of God, as beloved children,

5:2 and walk* in love*, just-as the Christ also loved* us and gave himself up on our behalf as an offering and a sacrifice to God *for an aroma of a sweet-fragrance.


5:3 But do not let fornication and all uncleanness or greed even be named among you*, as is suitable to holy-ones;

5:4 and do not let obscenity, and foolish-talk or petty jesting, which are not proper, but rather thanksgiving.

5:5 For* this you* know, that every fornicator, or unclean person, or greedy person, who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

5:6 Let no one deceive you* with empty words; for* because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience.

5:7 Therefore do* not become joint partakers with them.

5:8 For* you* were previously in darkness, but now you * are light in the Lord. Walk* as children of light

5:9 (for* the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

5:10 testing what is well pleasing to the Lord.

5:11 And have* no fellowship together with the unfruitful works of darkness, but also rather reprove* them;

5:12 for* it is shameful even to speak of the things happening by them covertly.

5:13 But all things which are reproved, are manifested by the light; for* everything which is manifested is light.

5:14 Hence he says, Arise, you who are sleeping and rise* up from the dead and the Christ will appear upon you.

5:15 Therefore beware*, how accurately you* are walking, not as unwise, but as wise;

5:16 buying up the time, because the days are evil.

5:17 Because of this, do* not become foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

5:18 And do* not be drunken with wine, in which there is riotousness, but be* filled in the Spirit;

5:19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and singing-praise in your* heart to the Lord;

5:20 giving-thanks always on behalf of all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God and Father;

5:21 being subject to one another in the fear of Christ.


5:22 The wives be* subject to your* own husbands, as to the Lord.

5:23 Because the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is also the head of the congregation* of believers, he is the savior of the body.

5:24 But just-like the congregation* is subject to the Christ, so let the wives also be subject to their own husbands in all things.

5:25 The husbands, love** your* own wives, just-as the Christ also loved* the congregation* and gave himself up on her behalf;

5:26 in order that he might make her holy, having cleansed her in the full-washing of the water in the word,

5:27 in order that he might present her to himself, the glorious congregation*, not having stain or wrinkle or any such things, but in order that she should be holy and unblemished.

5:28 So the husbands also ought to love* their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves* his own wife loves* himself.

5:29 For* no one ever hated his own flesh, but is nourishing and cherishing it, just-as the Lord also does the congregation* of believers;

5:30 because we are members of his body, out of his flesh and out of his bones.

5:31 Because of this, a man will be leaving his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. {Gen 2:24}

5:32 This mystery is great, but I am speaking in regard to Christ and in regard to the congregation* of believers.

5:33 However to you* also, let each, one to one, love* his own wife like himself, and let the wife see that* she should fear {i.e. respect} her husband.
