当凭爱心行事

所以你们该效法神,好像蒙慈爱的儿女一样。 也要凭爱心行事,正如基督爱我们,为我们舍了自己,当做馨香的供物和祭物献于神。 至于淫乱并一切污秽,或是贪婪,在你们中间连提都不可,方合圣徒的体统。 淫词、妄语和戏笑的话都不相宜,总要说感谢的话。 因为你们确实地知道,无论是淫乱的,是污秽的,是有贪心的,在基督和神的国里都是无份的;有贪心的,就与拜偶像的一样。 不要被人虚浮的话欺哄,因这些事,神的愤怒必临到那悖逆之子。 所以你们不要与他们同伙。

当像光明的子女

从前你们是暗昧的,但如今在主里面是光明的,行事为人就当像光明的子女—— 光明所结的果子就是一切良善、公义、诚实—— 10 总要察验何为主所喜悦的事。 11 那暗昧无益的事不要与人同行,倒要责备行这事的人, 12 因为他们暗中所行的,就是提起来也是可耻的。 13 凡事受了责备,就被光显明出来,因为一切能显明的就是光。 14 所以主说:“你这睡着的人,当醒过来,从死里复活,基督就要光照你了!”

爱惜光阴

15 你们要谨慎行事,不要像愚昧人,当像智慧人。 16 要爱惜光阴,因为现今的世代邪恶。 17 不要做糊涂人,要明白主的旨意如何。 18 不要醉酒,酒能使人放荡;乃要被圣灵充满。 19 当用诗章、颂词、灵歌彼此对说,口唱心和地赞美主。 20 凡事要奉我们主耶稣基督的名常常感谢父神。 21 又当存敬畏基督的心,彼此顺服。

夫妻的本分

22 你们做妻子的,当顺服自己的丈夫,如同顺服主; 23 因为丈夫是妻子的头,如同基督是教会的头,他又是教会全体的救主。 24 教会怎样顺服基督,妻子也要怎样凡事顺服丈夫。 25 你们做丈夫的,要爱你们的妻子,正如基督爱教会,为教会舍己, 26 要用水借着道把教会洗净,成为圣洁, 27 可以献给自己,做个荣耀的教会,毫无玷污、皱纹等类的病,乃是圣洁没有瑕疵的。 28 丈夫也当照样爱妻子,如同爱自己的身子,爱妻子便是爱自己了。 29 从来没有人恨恶自己的身子,总是保养顾惜,正像基督待教会一样, 30 因我们是他身上的肢体[a] 31 为这个缘故,人要离开父母,与妻子联合,二人成为一体。 32 这是极大的奥秘,但我是指着基督和教会说的。 33 然而你们各人都当爱妻子,如同爱自己一样;妻子也当敬重她的丈夫。

  1. 以弗所书 5:30 有古卷在此有:就是他的骨,他的肉。

Therefore, be imitators of Hashem as beloved yeladim,

And fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech in ahavah, as also Moshiach had ahavah for us and gave Himself up on behalf of us as a korban and zevach to Hashem for a RE’ACH HANNICHOACH ("a pleasant aroma" BERESHIS 8:21).

But do not let zenut (fornication) or anything of tumah (uncleanness) or chamdanut (covetousness) even be named among you, as is proper for Kadoshim.

And also let there be nothing that is an ERVAT DAVAR (indecent thing) or the tipshus (foolery) or foolish talking of letzim (coarse jesting) or shtiklech (misconduct), which are not fitting, but rather hodayah (thanksgiving).

For of this you have da’as vada (with certainty), that every zoneh (fornicator) or impure person or covetous person (chamdanut is avodah zarah, avodah elilim) does not have a nachalah in the Malchut of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and of Hashem.

Let no one deceive you with empty dvarim. For, because of these things the Charon Af Hashem comes upon the Bnei HaMeri (sons of Rebellion).

Therefore, do not be shuttafim (partners) with them.

For you were once Choshech, but now you are Ohr (Light) in Hashem. Fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech as yeladim of HaOhr.

For the p’ri HaOhr is in doing chesed and tzedek and emes,

10 Proving that which is well-pleasing be’einei Hashem (in the eyes of G-d).

11 And do not involve yourself in the ma’asei haChoshech (works of darkness), those works without p’ri; but rather even expose them.

12 For as to the things being done by them under cover of secrecy, it brings bushah (shame) and is a bizayon (disgrace) even to speak of them.

13 But everything being exposed by HaOhr (Light) becomes visible,

14 For everything becoming visible is HaOhr (Light); therefore here is the meaning of these words, KUMI, ("Rise up!" YESHAYAH 51:17; 60:1), sleeper, and arise from the MESIM” YESHAYAH 26:19) AND Moshiach WILL SHINE ON YOU (YESHAYAH 60:1 2). [MALACHI 4:2]

15 Therefore, fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech with a careful walk, not as kesilim (fools) but as chachamim (wise ones),

16 Redeeming the time, because the yamim are ra’im.

17 Therefore, do not be foolish, but have binah of what the ratzon Hashem is.

18 And do not become a shikker with schnapps, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Ruach Hakodesh, [VAYIKRA 10:9; MISHLE 20:1; YESHAYAH 28:7]

19 Speaking to one another in Tehillim and shirim and hymns and neshamah niggunim mi Ruach Hakodesh (soul melodies from the Ruach Hakodesh), singing and making melody in your levavot to Adonoi, [TEHILLIM 27:6]

20 Giving todot always for everything to Eloheinu, even Avinu b’Shem Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, [IYOV 1:21; TEHILLIM 34:1]

21 Being submissive to one another in the yirat HaMoshiach.

22 Nashim (wives), make yourselves accountable to your ba’alim (husbands) as to Adoneinu, [BERESHIS 3:16]

23 Because a ba’al (husband) is rosh of the isha as also Moshiach is rosh of the Brit Chadasha Kehillah, being Himself the Go’el (Savior) of HaGuf (the Body of Moshiach). [BERESHIS 47:18; TEHILLIM 16:9-10; IYOV 19:25-27; YESHAYAH 53:11]

24 But as the Brit Chadasha Kehillah is accountable to Moshiach, so also the nashim should be to their ba’alim in everything.

25 Ba’alim, have ahavah for your nashim, as also Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach has ahavah for the Brit Chadasha Kehillah and gave Himself up on behalf of her,

26 That He might bring her to kedushah, having given her tohorah (purification) by the tevilah of the mikveh mayim of the Dvar Hashem,

27 That he [as a Choson] might present to Himself [as His Kallah] the Brit Chadasha Kehillah in all her kavod TAMIM (unblemished, SHEMOT 12:5; VAYIKRA 22:20; YESHAYAH 53:7 9; SHIR HASHIRIM) and without wrinkle or any such things, but that she may be kedoshah and without blemish.

28 So also the ba’alim ought to show ahavah for their own nashim as their own gufim [BERESHIS 2:23-24]; the one with ahavah for his own isha has ahavah for himself,

29 For no one ever had sin’as chinom for his own basar but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach also does the Brit Chadasha Kehillah,

30 Because we are evarim of HaGuf HaMoshiach.

31 AL KEN YA’AZAV ISH ES AVIV V’ES IMMO V’DAVAK BE’ISHTO V’HAYU LEVASAR ECHAD ("Because of this a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to the wife of him and the two will be one basar.") [BERESHIS 2:24]

32 This is a sod hagadol, but I am referring to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and the Brit Chadasha Kehillah. [SHIR HASHIRIM 3:6-4:12; BERESHIS 2:23,24; 24:1-7; 41:45; 47:18; SHEMOT 2:21; RUTH 1:16-17; 3:9]

33 Each of you, however, should show ahavah for his isha as himself, and an isha should reverence her ba’al (husband).
