¹Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

¹Lâex chic li ralal xc'ajol li Dios ut rarôquex xban. Jo'can nak chetzolak êrib riq'uin li Dios re nak têbânu jo' naraj a'an.

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.

²Cherahak êrib chi ribil êrib jo' nak coxra lâo li Cristo ut quixmayeja rib chiru li cruz re kacolbal. Ut li Dios quisaho' xch'ôl riq'uin xban nak chanchan li sununquil ban chiru.

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

³Lâex chic li ralal xc'ajol li Dios. Jo'can nak inc'a' chic chi cuânk li co'bêtac yumbêtac sa' êyânk chi moco tex-âtinak chirix. Inc'a' tâcuânk li mâusilal sa' êyânk. Ut inc'a' têrahi ru li jalan aj e. Moco xc'ulub ta chic laj pâbanel xbânunquil a'an.

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

⁴Inc'a' tâyemânk sa' êyânk li yibru aj âtin chi moco li tôntil âtin chi moco cheye li mâyehec' naraj xban nak inc'a' us. Chexbantioxînk ban chiru li Dios.

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.

⁵Tênau chi tz'akal nak li neque'xbânu mâusilal inc'a' te'tz'akônk sa' lix nimajcual xcuanquilal li Cristo ut li Dios. Chi moco eb laj co'bêt ut eb laj yumbêt chi moco li neque'xrahi li jalan aj e xban nak li mâc a'an juntak'êt riq'uin xlok'oninquil li jalanil dios.

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

⁶Mêq'ue êrib chi balak'îc xbaneb li neque'âtinac ut neque'xye nak moco nimla mâc ta xbânunquil li c'a'ak re ru a'in, xban nak nachal xjosk'il li Dios sa' xbêneb li neque'k'etoc re li râtin.

⁷Therefore don’t be partakers with them.

⁷Mêjunaji êrib riq'uineb a'an xban nak inc'a' useb xna'leb.

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

⁸Junxil quexcuan chak sa' xk'ojyînal ru li mâc. Abanan, anakcuan rehex chic li Kâcua' ut cuanquex chic sa' xcutan saken. Jo'can nak chexcuânk sa' xyâlal.

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

⁹Li ani quicutanobresîc lix ch'ôl xban li Dios naxnau lix yâlal ut nacuan sa' châbilal ut sa' tîquilal.

¹⁰proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.

¹⁰Chetauhak xyâlal li c'a'ru naraj li Kâcua'.

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

¹¹Mêjunaji chic êrib riq'uineb li inc'a' neque'xnau xyâlal ut neque'xbânu li c'a'ak re ru mâc'a' na-oc cui'. Lâex ban chic texch'olobânk re lix yâlal chiruheb nak inc'a' us yôqueb.

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

¹²Xutânal chok' ke lâo âtinac chirix li inc'a' us li neque'xbânu chi mukmu.

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

¹³Nak tâch'olobâk lix yâlal chiruheb na-el chi cutanquil nak inc'a' us li yôqueb ut neque'xq'ue ajcui' retal eb a'an nak inc'a' us li neque'xbânu.

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

¹⁴Nak tâcutanobresîk lix ch'ôleb cutan saken chic chanru nak cuanqueb. Jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: Ajsi âcuu, lâat li yôcat chi cuârc. Matcana chi camenak sa' lâ mâc, ut li Cristo tixcutanobresi lâ c'a'ux. (Isa. 60:1)

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

¹⁵Cheq'uehak retal chanru lê yu'am. Mêbânu jo' neque'xbânu li inc'a' useb xna'leb. Chebânuhak ban jo' neque'xbânu li cuanqueb xna'leb.

¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹⁶Mênumsi li cutan chi mâc'a' xyâlal. Chebânu ban li us nak târûk têbânu xban nak ch'a'aj li cuânc sa' eb li cutan a'in.

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

¹⁷Jo'can nak moco jo'cakex ta li mâc'a'eb xna'leb. Chetauhak ban ru li c'a'ru naraj li Kâcua'.

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

¹⁸Mexcala chic xban nak napo'oc ch'ôlej. Chinujak ban lê ch'ôl riq'uin li Santil Musik'ej.

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

¹⁹Cheserak'i chi ribil êrib lix lok'al li Dios, ut têye li salmos ut texbichânk re xlok'oninquil li Kâcua'. Chexbichânk ut chelok'oni li Kâcua' chi anchal êch'ôl.

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

²⁰Ut junelic chexbantioxînk chiru li Acuabej Dios sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo riq'uin chixjunil li c'a'ru nequec'ul.

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

²¹Chepâbak êrib chi ribil êrib re xq'uebal xlok'al li Cristo.

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

²²Ex ixakilbej, chepâbak lê bêlom jo' nak nequepâb li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

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.

²³Chexpâbânk chiru xban nak a'an li najolomin re li rixakil jo' nak li Cristo najolomin reheb laj pâbanel. Abanan li Cristo, a'an ajcui' laj Colol reheb laj pâbanel ut eb laj pâbanel jo' li rok ruk' li Cristo.

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

²⁴Jo' nak neque'pâban laj pâbanel chiru li Cristo, jo'can ajcui' nak li ixakilbej te'pâbânk chiruheb lix bêlom riq'uin chixjunil.

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

²⁵Jo'can ajcui' lâex bêlomej, cherahak lê rixakil jo' nak li Cristo quixraheb laj pâbanel nak quixk'axtesi rib chi câmc re xcolbaleb.

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

²⁶Li Jesucristo quixmayeja rib re xsantobresinquileb laj pâbanel riq'uin nak te'xc'ul li cubi ha' sa' xc'aba' li Cristo ut riq'uin li râtin li Dios.

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.

²⁷Li Cristo quixbânu a'an re nak tixc'uleb li ralal xc'ajol chi k'axal nim xlok'al, chi mâc'a' xmâc ut chi mâc'a' xpaltil chiru.

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

²⁸Jo'can ajcui' eb li bêlomej, tento nak te'xra li rixakil jo' nak neque'xra ribeb a'an. Li ani naxra li rixakil, naxra ajcui' rib a'an.

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

²⁹Mâ ani xic' naril rib. Naxra ban rib ut naxch'olani rib jo' nak li Cristo naxra ut naxch'olani li ralal xc'ajol.

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

³⁰Nocoxra ut nocoril xban nak lâo jo' rok ruk' li Cristo. Lâo jo' lix quiq'uel ut jo' lix bakel.

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

³¹Li bêlomej ut li ixakilbej junaj chic ruheb jo' tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu li naxye chi jo'ca'in: Nak tâsumlâk, li cuînk tixcanab lix na' xyucua' re nak tixlak'ab rib riq'uin li rixakil. Ut junajak chic ruheb chi xca'bichaleb.

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

³²K'axal lok' lix yâlal li na'leb a'in. Abanan lâin ninye êre nak naxc'ut ajcui' chiku nak lâo aj pâbanel junajo chic riq'uin li Cristo.Jo'can nak tinye cui'chic êre nak li bêlomej chixrahak li rixakil jo' nak naxra rib a'an. Ut li ixakilbej chix-oxlok'i lix bêlom.

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

³³Jo'can nak tinye cui'chic êre nak li bêlomej chixrahak li rixakil jo' nak naxra rib a'an. Ut li ixakilbej chix-oxlok'i lix bêlom.
