¹Võtke nüüd Jumal eeskujuks nagu armastatud lapsed,

¹Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

⁶Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

⁷Ärge siis saage nende kaaslasteks!

⁷Therefore don’t be partakers with them.

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

⁸For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

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

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

¹⁰uurige, mis on Issandale meelepärane,

¹⁰proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.

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

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

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

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

¹³Aga kõik valguse poolt paljastatu saab avalikuks;

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

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

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

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

¹⁵Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

¹⁶kasutades aega õigesti, sest päevad on kurjad.

¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

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

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

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

¹⁸Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

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

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

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

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

²¹Alistuge üksteisele Kristuse kartuses,

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

²²naised oma meestele otsekui Issandale,

²²Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

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

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.

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

²⁴But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

²⁹For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

³⁰sest me oleme tema ihu liikmed.

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

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

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

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

³²This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.

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

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