¹因此，你们既然是蒙爱的儿女，就应当效法　神。

¹Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,

²要凭着爱心行事，好像基督爱我们，为我们舍己，当作馨香的供品和祭物献给　神。

²and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

³至于淫乱和任何污秽或贪心的事，在你们中间连提都不可提，才合圣徒的体统。

³and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

⁴更不要讲淫秽和愚妄的话，或下流的笑话，这些都与你们不相称；却要说感谢的话。

⁴also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, — the things not fit — but rather thanksgiving;

⁵因为你们确实知道，无论是淫乱的、污秽的或贪心的（贪心就是拜偶像），都得不到在基督和　神的国里的基业。

⁵for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.

⁶要作光明的儿女不要给别人用空言欺骗了你们，正因为这些事，　神的震怒必定临到那些悖逆的人。

⁶Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

⁷所以，不要与他们同流合污。

⁷become not, then, partakers with them,

⁸你们从前是黑暗的，现今在主里却是光明的，行事为人就应当像光明的儿女。

⁸for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,

⁹光明所结的果子，就是一切良善、公义、诚实。

⁹for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,

¹⁰你们要察验什么是主所喜悦的。

¹⁰proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,

¹¹不要参与暗昧无益的事，倒要把它揭露出来，

¹¹and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict,

¹²因为他们暗中所作的事，连提起来也是羞耻的。

¹²for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of,

¹³凡被光揭露的，都是显而易见的。

¹³and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light;

¹⁴因为一切显露出来的就是光，所以有话说：“睡了的人哪，醒过来，从死人中起来吧！基督必要照亮你。”

¹⁴wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.`

¹⁵所以，你们行事为人要谨慎，不要像愚昧人，却要像聪明人。

¹⁵See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

¹⁶要把握时机，因为这时代邪恶。

¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil;

¹⁷因此，不要作糊涂人，要明白什么是主的旨意。

¹⁷because of this become not fools, but — understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,

¹⁸不要醉酒，醉酒能使人放荡乱性，却要让圣灵充满。

¹⁸and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,

¹⁹应当用诗章、圣诗、灵歌，彼此呼应，口唱心和地赞美主。

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

²⁰凡事要奉我们主耶稣基督的名，常常感谢父　神，

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

²¹还要存敬畏基督的心，彼此顺服。

²¹subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.

²²丈夫与妻子你们作妻子的，要顺服自己的丈夫，好像顺服主一样，

²²The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,

²³因为丈夫是妻子的头，好像基督是教会的头；基督又是教会全体的救主。

²³because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,

²⁴教会怎样顺服基督，妻子也要照样凡事顺服丈夫。

²⁴but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything.

²⁵你们作丈夫的，要爱妻子，好像基督爱教会，为教会舍己，

²⁵The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

²⁶为的是要用水借着道把教会洗净，成为圣洁，

²⁶that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying,

²⁷可以作荣耀的教会归给自己，什么污点皱纹等也没有，而是圣洁没有瑕疵的。

²⁷that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;

²⁸丈夫也应当这样爱妻子，好像爱自己的身体一样。爱妻子的，就是爱自己了。

²⁸so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife — himself he doth love;

²⁹从来没有人恨恶自己的身体，总是保养顾惜，好像基督对教会一样，

²⁹for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord — the assembly,

³⁰因为我们是他身上的肢体。

³⁰because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;

³¹为了这缘故，人要离开父母，与妻子结合，二人成为一体。

³¹`for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be — the two — for one flesh;`

³²这是极大的奥秘，但我是指着基督和教会说的。

³²this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;

³³无论怎样，你们各人都要爱自己的妻子，好像爱自己一样。妻子也应当敬重丈夫。

³³but ye also, every one in particular — let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife — that she may reverence the husband.
