| 1 | Therefore you must be imitators of Yahweh, as beloved children, |
| 2 | and walk in love, just as Christ has also loved us, and surrendered Himself on our behalf, an application and sacrifice to Yahweh for an essence of sweet aroma. |
| 3 | But fornication and all uncleanness or greediness you must not even specify among you, just as is suitable with saints, |
| 4 | and abusiveness and foolish speaking or ribaldry, which things are not fitting, but thanksgiving instead. |
| 5 | This is known by you: that any fornicator, or unclean or greedy person - who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the Kingdom of the Anointed and of Yahweh. |
| 6 | No one must deceive you with empty words, for on account of these things the wrath of Yahweh comes upon the sons of disobedience. |
| 7 | Therefore you must not be partakers with them. |
| 8 | For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Prince. Walk as children of light. |
| 9 | (For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justness and truth, |
| 10 | scrutinizing what is acceptable to the Prince.) |
| 11 | And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead even reprove them. |
| 12 | For the things being done by them secretly it is disgraceful even to speak of. |
| 13 | Now all things being reproved by the light are made manifest. |
| 14 | For everything being made manifest is light. Therefore He says: "Awaken, you who are sleeping, and rise up from among the dead, and Christ shall shine upon you." |
| 15 | So then watch precisely how you walk, not as the stupid, but as the wise, |
| 16 | Buying the time, because the days are evil. |
| 17 | For this reason do not be foolish, rather understand what is the will of the Prince. |
| 18 | And do not be intoxicated with wine, in which there is abandonment, rather you be filled with the Spirit, |
| 19 | talking to yourselves with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Prince. |
| 20 | At all times being thankful for all things in the name of our Prince, Yahshua Christ, to Yahweh, even the Father. |
| 21 | Subject yourselves to one another in fear of Christ: |
| 22 | wives, to their own husbands, as if to the Prince, |
| 23 | because the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the assembly: He is deliverer of the body. |
| 24 | But as the assembly is subject to Christ, in that manner also wives in everything to the husbands. |
| 25 | Husbands, love the wives, just as Christ has also loved the assembly, and had surrendered Himself for it, |
| 26 | in order that He would consecrate it, cleansing it in the bath of the water in the word, |
| 27 | that He may present it to Himself in honor, the assembly not having a blemish or a wrinkle or any of such things, but that it would be holy and blameless. |
| 28 | So husbands are obliged to love their own wives, as their own bodies; he who is loving his own wife loves himself. |
| 29 | No one has at any time hated his own flesh, but nourishes and comforts it, just as also Christ the assembly, |
| 30 | because we are members of His body. |
| 31 | "For this reason shall a man leave father and mother and shall join to his wife, and the two shall be for one flesh." |
| 32 | This mystery is great, and I speak for Christ and for the assembly. |
| 33 | Nevertheless, each and every one of you must love his own wife as himself, and the wife should see that she fear the husband. |
