versetul 1

Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.


versetul 2

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.


versetul 3

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


versetul 4

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


versetul 5

Know 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.


versetul 6

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


versetul 7

Therefore don’t be partakers with them.


versetul 8

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


versetul 9

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


versetul 10

proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.


versetul 11

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


versetul 12

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


versetul 13

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


versetul 14

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


versetul 15

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


versetul 16

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.


versetul 17

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


versetul 18

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


versetul 19

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


versetul 20

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


versetul 21

subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.


versetul 22

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


versetul 23

For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.


versetul 24

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


versetul 25

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


versetul 26

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


versetul 27

that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without defect.


versetul 28

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


versetul 29

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


versetul 30

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


versetul 31

“For this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife. Then the two will become one flesh.”


versetul 32

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


versetul 33

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