¹Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;

¹Võtke nüüd Jumal eeskujuks nagu armastatud lapsed,

²and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor 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.

³But fornication, 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.

⁴nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.

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

⁵For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

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

⁶Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.

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

⁷Be not ye therefore partakers with them;

⁷Ärge siis saage nende kaaslasteks!

⁸For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light

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

⁹(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

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

¹⁰proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;

¹⁰uurige, mis on Issandale meelepärane,

¹¹and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;

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

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

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

¹³But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.

¹³Aga kõik valguse poolt paljastatu saab avalikuks;

¹⁴Wherefore [he] saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and 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!'

¹⁵Look therefore carefully how 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.

¹⁷Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

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

¹⁸And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;

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

¹⁹speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with 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 God, even the Father;

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

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

²¹Alistuge üksteisele Kristuse kartuses,

²²Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

²²naised oma meestele otsekui Issandale,

²³For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, [being] himself the saviour of the body.

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

²⁴But as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything.

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

²⁵Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;

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

²⁶that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

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

²⁷that he might present the church to himself a glorious [church], not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

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

²⁸Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

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

²⁹for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;

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

³⁰because we are members of his body.

³⁰sest me oleme tema ihu liikmed.

³¹For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.

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

³²This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.

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

³³Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and [let] the wife [see] that she fear her husband.

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