Ephesians
1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;4Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.5For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.6Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.7Be not ye therefore partakers with them.8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.12For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.13But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.14Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.15See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,16Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.17Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.18And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;19Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;20Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;21Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

1فَكُونُوا مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِاللهِ كَأَوْلاَدٍ أَحِبَّاءَ،2وَاسْلُكُوا فِي المَحَبَّةِ كَمَا أَحَبَّنَا المَسِيحُ أَيْضاً وَأَسْلَمَ نَفْسَهُ لأَجْلِنَا، قُرْبَاناً وَذَبِيحَةً لِلهِ، رَائِحَةً طَيِّبَةً.

3وَأَمَّا الزِّنَا وَكُلُّ نَجَاسَةٍ أَوْ طَمَعٍ فَلاَ يُسَمَّ بَيْنَكُمْ، كَمَا يَلِيقُ بِقِدِّيسِينَ،4وَلاَ الْقَبَاحَةُ وَلاَ كَلاَمُ السَّفَاهَةِ وَالْهَزْلُ، الَّتِي لاَ تَلِيقُ، بَلْ بِالْحَرِيِّ الشُّكْرُ.5فَإِنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ هَذَا: أَنَّ كُلَّ زَانٍ أَوْ نَجِسٍ أَوْ طَمَّاعٍ، الَّذِي هُوَ عَابِدٌ لِلأَوْثَانِ، لَيْسَ لَهُ مِيرَاثٌ فِي مَلَكُوتِ المَسِيحِ وَاللهِ.6لاَ يَغُرَّكُمْ أَحَدٌ بِكَلاَمٍ بَاطِلٍ، لأَنَّهُ بِسَبَبِ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ يَأْتِي غَضَبُ اللهِ عَلَى أَبْنَاءِ المَعْصِيَةِ.7فَلاَ تَكُونُوا شُرَكَاءَهُمْ.8لأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ قَبْلاً ظُلْمَةً وَأَمَّا الآنَ فَنُورٌ فِي الرَّبِّ، اسْلُكُوا كَأَوْلاَدِ نُورٍ،9لأَنَّ ثَمَرَ الرُّوحِ هُوَ فِي كُلِّ صَلاَحٍ وَبِرٍّ وَحَقٍّ،10مُخْتَبِرِينَ مَا هُوَ مَرْضِيٌّ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ،11وَلاَ تَشْتَرِكُوا فِي أَعْمَالِ الظُّلْمَةِ غَيْرِ المُثْمِرَةِ بَلْ بِالْحَرِيِّ وَبِّخُوهَا.12لأَنَّ الأُمُورَ الْحَادِثَةَ مِنْهُمْ سِرّاً ذِكْرُهَا أَيْضاً قَبِيحٌ،13وَلَكِنَّ الْكُلَّ، إِذَا تَوَبَّخَ، يُظْهَرُ بِالنُّورِ، لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا أُظْهِرَ فَهُوَ نُورٌ.14لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ: اسْتَيْقِظْ، أَيُّهَا النَّائِمُ، وَقُمْ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ، فَيُضِيءَ لَكَ المَسِيحُ.

15فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَسْلُكُونَ بِالتَّدْقِيقِ، لاَ كَجُهَلاَءَ بَلْ كَحُكَمَاءَ،16مُفْتَدِينَ الْوَقْتَ لأَنَّ الأَيَّامَ شِرِّيرَةٌ.17مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لاَ تَكُونُوا أَغْبِيَاءَ بَلْ فَاهِمِينَ مَا هِيَ مَشِيئَةُ الرَّبِّ.18وَلاَ تَسْكَرُوا بِالْخَمْرِ، الَّذِي فِيهِ الْخَلاَعَةُ، بَلِ امْتَلِئُوا بِالرُّوحِ19مُكَلِّمِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً بِمَزَامِيرَ وَتَسَابِيحَ وَأَغَانِيَّ رُوحِيَّةٍ، مُتَرَنِّمِينَ وَمُرَتِّلِينَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ،20شَاكِرِينَ كُلَّ حِينٍ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فِي اسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ لِلهِ وَالآبِ،21خَاضِعِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِي خَوْفِ اللهِ.

22أَيُّهَا النِّسَاءُ، اخْضَعْنَ لِرِجَالِكُنَّ كَمَا لِلرَّبِّ23لأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ هُوَ رَأْسُ المَرْأَةِ كَمَا أَنَّ المَسِيحَ أَيْضاً رَأْسُ الْكَنِيسَةِ، وَهُوَ مُخَلِّصُ الْجَسَدِ.24وَلَكِنْ كَمَا تَخْضَعُ الْكَنِيسَةُ لِلْمَسِيحِ كَذَلِكَ النِّسَاءُ لِرِجَالِهِنَّ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.25أَيُّهَا الرِّجَالُ، أَحِبُّوا نِسَاءَكُمْ كَمَا أَحَبَّ المَسِيحُ أَيْضاً الْكَنِيسَةَ وَأَسْلَمَ نَفْسَهُ لأَجْلِهَا26لِكَيْ يُقَدِّسَهَا، مُطَهِّراً إِيَّاهَا بِغَسْلِ المَاءِ بِالْكَلِمَةِ،27لِكَيْ يُحْضِرَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ كَنِيسَةً مَجِيدَةً، لاَ دَنَسَ فِيهَا وَلاَ غَضْنَ أَوْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ بَلْ تَكُونُ مُقَدَّسَةً وَبِلاَ عَيْبٍ.28كَذَلِكَ يَجِبُ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ أَنْ يُحِبُّوا نِسَاءَهُمْ كَأَجْسَادِهِمْ. مَنْ يُحِبُّ امْرَأَتَهُ يُحِبُّ نَفْسَهُ،29فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُبْغِضْ أَحَدٌ جَسَدَهُ قَطُّ بَلْ يَقُوتُهُ وَيُرَبِّيهِ كَمَا الرَّبُّ أَيْضاً لِلْكَنِيسَةِ.30لأَنَّنَا أَعْضَاءُ جِسْمِهِ، مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَمِنْ عِظَامِهِ.31مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا يَتْرُكُ الرَّجُلُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَيَلْتَصِقُ بِامْرَأَتِهِ وَيَكُونُ الاِثْنَانِ جَسَداً وَاحِداً.32هَذَا السِّرُّ عَظِيمٌ، وَلَكِنَّنِي أَنَا أَقُولُ مِنْ نَحْوِ المَسِيحِ وَالْكَنِيسَةِ.33وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمُ الأَفْرَادُ، فَلْيُحِبَّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ امْرَأَتَهُ هَكَذَا كَنَفْسِهِ، وَأَمَّا المَرْأَةُ فَلْتَهَبْ رَجُلَهَا.
