¹Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

¹A tak buďte nasledovníkmi Božími jako milované deti

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.

²a choďte v láske, jako aj Kristus miloval nás a vydal sám seba za nás ako posvätný dar a obeť Bohu na príjemnú vôňu upokojujúcu.

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

³A smilstvo a vôbec akákoľvek nečistota alebo lakomstvo nech sa ani nemenuje medzi vami, jako sa sluší svätým,

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

⁴ani mrzkosť a bláznivé reči alebo šprýmy, čo sa nepatrí, ale radšej ďakovanie,

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.

⁵Lebo to viete, že niktorý smilník alebo nečistý alebo lakomec, čo je to isté jako modlár, nemá dedičstva v kráľovstve Krista a Boha.

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

⁶Nech vás nikto nezvodí prázdnymi rečami, lebo pre také veci prichádza hnev Boží na synov neposlušnosti.

⁷Therefore don’t be partakers with them.

⁷Teda nebuďte ich spoluúčastníkmi.

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

⁸Lebo ste boli kedysi tmou, ale teraz ste svetlom v Pánovi. Choďte jako deti svetla -

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

⁹Lebo ovocie Ducha záleží v každej dobrote, spravedlivosti a pravde -

¹⁰proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.

¹⁰zkúšajúc, čo sa ľúbi Pánovi.

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

¹¹A nezúčastňujte sa s neposlušnými na jalových skutkoch tmy, ale ich radšej ešte kárajte.

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

¹²Lebo o tom, čo oni tajne robia, je mrzko aj len hovoriť.

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

¹³Ale to všetko, kárané od svetla, vychádza na javo; lebo všetko, čo vychádza na javo, je svetlo.

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

¹⁴Preto hovorí: Prebuď sa ty, kto spíš, a vstaň z mŕtvych, a bude ti svietiť Kristus.

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

¹⁵Teda hľaďte, jako by ste sa správne chovali, nie ako nemúdri, ale jako múdri,

¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹⁶vykupujúc si čas, lebo dni sú zlé.

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

¹⁷Preto nebuďte nerozumní, ale rozumejúci, čo je vôľa Pánova.

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

¹⁸A neopíjajte sa vínom, v ktorom je prostopaš, ale buďte plnení Duchom

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

¹⁹hovoriac si navzájom žalmami a hymnami a duchovnými piesňami spievajúc a hudúc vo svojom srdci Pánovi,

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

²⁰ďakujúc vždycky za všetko v mene nášho Pána Ježiša Krista Bohu a Otcovi,

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

²¹podriaďujúc sa jedni druhým v bázni Božej.

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

²²Ženy, podriaďujte sa vlastným mužom ako Pánovi;

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.

²³lebo muž je hlavou ženy, jako aj Kristus je hlavou cirkvi, a on je Spasiteľom tela.

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

²⁴Ale jako sa cirkev podriaďuje Kristovi, tak aj ženy vlastným mužom vo všetkom.

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

²⁵Vy, mužovia, milujte svoje ženy, jako aj Kristus miloval cirkev a vydal sám seba za ňu,

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

²⁶aby ju posvätil očistiac ju kúpeľom vody, slovom,

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.

²⁷aby si ju postavil pred seba slávnu, cirkev, nemajúcu škvrny alebo vrásky alebo niečoho takého, ale aby bola svätá a bezvadná.

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

²⁸Tak sú povinní aj mužovia milovať svoje ženy jako svoje vlastné telá. Kto miluje svoju ženu, sám seba miluje.

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

²⁹Lebo veď nebolo nikdy nikoho, kto by bol nenávidel svojho tela, ale ho každý chová a opatruje ako aj Pán cirkev,

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

³⁰lebo sme údami jeho tela, z jeho mäsa a z jeho kostí.

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

³¹Zato opustí človek svojho otca i svoju mať a pripojí sa ku svojej žene, a tí dvaja budú v jedno telo.

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

³²Toto tajomstvo je veľké, ale ja hovorím vzťahom na Krista a vzťahom na cirkev.

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

³³Avšak aj vy, jeden každý osobitne tak nech miluje svoju ženu jako sám seba, a žena aby sa bála muža.
