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

¹Võtke nüüd Jumal eeskujuks nagu armastatud lapsed,

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,

²ja käige armastuses, nõnda nagu Kristus meid on armastanud ja on iseenese loovutanud meie eest anniks ja ohvriks, magusaks lõhnaks Jumalale.

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

³Aga hoorusest ja kogu rüvedusest ja ahnusest ärgu olgu teie seas juttugi, nõnda nagu on kohane pühadele.

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

⁴Samuti riivatus ja rumalad sõnad ja sündsusetu lõõpimine ei sobi teile, vaid selle asemel olgu tänu.

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.

⁵Seda teadke kindlasti, et ühelgi hoorajal ega kõlvatul ega ahnitsejal - tähendab ebajumalateenreil - ei ole pärandit Kristuse ja Jumala riigis.

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

⁶Ärgu ükski petku teid tühjade sõnadega, sest niisuguste asjade pärast tuleb Jumala viha sõnakuulmatute laste peale!

⁷become not, then, partakers with them,

⁷Ärge siis saage nende kaaslasteks!

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

⁸Sest varem te olite pimedus, nüüd aga olete valgus Issandas. Käige nagu valguse lapsed -

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

⁹valguse vili on ju igasuguses headuses ja õigluses ja tões -,

¹⁰proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,

¹⁰uurige, mis on Issandale meelepärane,

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

¹¹ja ärge hakake pimeduse viljatute tegude kaasosaliseks, vaid pigem paljastage neid!

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

¹²Sest mida nad salajas teevad, seda on nimetadagi häbi.

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

¹³Aga kõik valguse poolt paljastatu saab avalikuks;

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

¹⁴sest kõik, mis saab avalikuks, on valguse käes. Seepärast on öeldud: 'Ärka üles, kes sa magad, ja tõuse üles surnuist, siis särab sulle Kristus!'

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

¹⁵Vaadake siis hoolega, kuidas te elate: mitte nagu arutud, vaid nagu targad,

¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil;

¹⁶kasutades aega õigesti, sest päevad on kurjad.

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

¹⁷Seepärast ärge olge rumalad, vaid mõistke, mis on Issanda tahtmine.

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

¹⁸Ja ärge joovastuge veinist, millest tuleb liiderlikkus, vaid saage täis Vaimu,

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

¹⁹lauldes omavahel psalme, hümne ja vaimulikke laule, lauldes ja pilli mängides kogu oma südamega Issandale,

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

²⁰tänades alati Jumalat ja Isa meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse nimel.

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

²¹Alistuge üksteisele Kristuse kartuses,

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

²²naised oma meestele otsekui Issandale,

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

²³sest mees on naise pea, nagu Kristus on koguduse pea, olles ise ihu päästja.

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

²⁴Nagu kogudus alistub Kristusele, nõnda alistugu ka naised meestele kõigis asjus.

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

²⁵Mehed, armastage naisi, otsekui Kristus on armastanud kogudust ja loovutanud iseenese tema eest,

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

²⁶et teda pühitseda, olles ta puhastanud vees pesemisega sõna läbi,

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;

²⁷et kogudust iseenda ette seada kirkana, nii et tal ei oleks plekki ega kortsu ega muud sellesarnast, vaid et ta oleks püha ja laitmatu.

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

²⁸Nõnda peavad mehedki armastama oma naisi nagu iseenese ihu. Kes oma naist armastab, armastab iseennast.

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

²⁹Keegi pole ju kunagi vihanud iseenese ihu, vastupidi, ta toidab ja hellitab seda nii nagu Kristus kogudust,

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

³⁰sest me oleme tema ihu liikmed.

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;`

³¹'Seepärast jätab mees maha oma isa ja ema ning hoiab oma naise poole, ja need kaks saavad üheks.'

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

³²See saladus on suur: ma räägin Kristusest ja kogudusest.

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.

³³Igal juhul armastagu ka igaüks teie seast oma naist nii nagu iseennast, aga naine kartku meest!
