以 弗 所 書 5
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
5 你们是上帝钟爱的儿女,所以,要努力效仿上帝。 2 要过有爱心的生活,爱他人就如同基督爱我们一样。基督为了我们牺牲了自己—他是献给上帝的芬芳的贡奉和祭品。
3 你们中间不可有不道德的性行为,不可有任何邪恶与贪婪(自私)。这些事在你们当中连提都不要提,因为你们是上帝的圣民 [a]。 4 也不可说可耻、愚蠢的话,或讲粗俗的笑话。这些话不是你们该说的,相反,要说向上帝感恩的话。 5 你们必须知道:任何在性行为上不道德、不洁或贪婪的人(这种人等于偶像崇拜者),都不会在基督和上帝的天国里占有一席之地。
6 不要让任何人用空话欺骗你们,正是因为这些事情,上帝的愤怒要降临到那些不服从的人身上了。 7 因此,不要成为这些人的同伙。 8 过去,你们充满了黑暗(罪恶),但是,现在你们在主内充满了光明(善良)。要像属于光明的儿女那样去生活。 9 光明带来了各种善良、正义的生活和真理。 10 要努力寻求令主喜悦的事情。 11 不要做笼罩在黑暗之中的徒劳无益的事情,而要揭露它们。 12 甚至连谈起别人所做的不光明的事都是可耻的。 13 但是,暴露在光明之中的一切都变得清晰可见, 14 变得清晰可见的也都能成为光明。这就是为什么我们说:
“醒来,沉睡的人,
从死里复活,
基督会照亮你们。”
15 所以,你们的生活方式要谨慎。不要像愚昧无知的人,而要像明智的人那样生活。 16 要充分利用每一个机会,因为现在的时代是邪恶的。 17 因此,不要做糊涂人,要明白主的旨意是什么。 18 不要因酗酒而堕落,而要让圣灵充满你们。 19 要用诗篇、圣诗和灵歌相互交流,从内心歌唱并且创作赞美主的音乐。 20 要常以我们的主耶稣基督的名义,感谢父上帝赐给我们的一切。
妻子和丈夫
21 出于对基督的敬畏,你们要互敬互让。
22 妻子应该像顺从主一样顺从丈夫, 23 因为丈夫是妻子的头,正如基督是教会的头一样。教会是基督的身体—基督是这个身体的救主。 24 所以,就像教会服从基督一样,妻子在各方面也应该服从丈夫。
25 丈夫要爱你们的妻子,就像基督爱教会并为教会献出了生命一样。 26 他这么做,是为了通过福音,让教会在水中受到洁净,使教会变得神圣。 27 他这么做,是为了能够把教会做为一个容光焕发的新娘献给自己,她没有任何污点、皱纹和缺陷,是纯洁和无瑕的。 28 同样,丈夫也应该像这样爱自己的妻子。他们应该像爱自己的身体一样爱自己的妻子。爱妻子就是爱自己。 29 因为没有人憎恨自己的身体。每个人都保养和照料着自己的身体,这也是基督为教会所做的事情。 30 因为我们都是他的身体的组成部分, 31 正如《经》上所说∶“所以,男人要离开父母,与妻子结合,两人成为一体。” 32 这个奥秘非常重要—我谈论的是基督和教会。 33 但是,你们每个人也必须像爱自己一样爱妻子,而妻子则必须尊重丈夫。

Ephesians 5
New International Version
5 1 Follow God’s example,(A) therefore, as dearly loved children(B) 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us(C) and gave himself up for us(D) as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.(E)
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,(F) or of any kind of impurity, or of greed,(G) because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk(H) or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.(I) 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater(J)—has any inheritance(K) in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a](L) 6 Let no one deceive you(M) with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath(N) comes on those who are disobedient.(O) 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
8 For you were once(P) darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light(Q) 9 (for the fruit(R) of the light consists in all goodness,(S) righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord.(T) 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,(U) but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light(V) becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said:
15 Be very careful, then, how you live(Z)—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity,(AA) because the days are evil.(AB) 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.(AC) 18 Do not get drunk on wine,(AD) which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,(AE) 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit.(AF) Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks(AG) to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Instructions for Christian Households(AH)
21 Submit to one another(AI) out of reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands(AJ) as you do to the Lord.(AK) 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church,(AL) his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands(AM) in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives,(AN) just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her(AO) 26 to make her holy,(AP) cleansing[b] her by the washing(AQ) with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself(AR) as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.(AS) 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives(AT) as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body.(AU) 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[c](AV) 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife(AW) as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
