¹因此，你们既然是蒙爱的儿女，就应当效法　神。

¹Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

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。

²Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

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。

³But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes 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。

⁴nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.

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。

⁵Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of 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 empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

⁷所以，不要与他们同流合污。

⁷Therefore don’t be 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 you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

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，

¹¹Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

¹²因为他们暗中所作的事，连提起来也是羞耻的。

¹²For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.

¹³凡被光揭露的，都是显而易见的。

¹³But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals 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。”

¹⁴Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

¹⁵所以，你们行事为人要谨慎，不要像愚昧人，却要像聪明人。

¹⁵Therefore watch carefully how you 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。

¹⁷Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

¹⁸不要醉酒，醉酒能使人放荡乱性，却要让圣灵充满。

¹⁸Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with 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 one another in psalms, 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 concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

²¹还要存敬畏基督的心，彼此顺服。

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

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，

²²Wives, be subject to your own husbands, 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。

²³For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior 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 as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be 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，

²⁵Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up 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 by the washing of water with the word,

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 the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

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。

²⁸Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

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 man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

³⁰因为我们是他身上的肢体。

³⁰because we are members of his body, of his flesh and 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 a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24

³²这是极大的奥秘，但我是指着基督和教会说的。

³²This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of 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。

³³Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
