Ett liv i kärlek
5 Ha alltså Gud som förebild, som hans älskade barn. 2 Lev i kärlek, så som Kristus har älskat oss och gett sig själv som en offergåva, som en välbehaglig lukt för Gud.
3 Bland er får sådant som sexuell omoral och annan orenhet eller girighet aldrig ens nämnas. Sådant anstår inte de heliga. 4 Inte heller passar snuskiga historier, dumt prat och elaka skämt bland er. Tacka i stället Gud. 5 Ni ska ha klart för er att ingen som ägnar sig åt sexuell omoral och annan orenhet eller girighet får del i Kristus och Guds rike, för detta är att tillbe avgudar. 6 Låt er inte luras av tomt prat, för sådant drar Guds vrede över de olydiga. 7 Delta aldrig i det som dessa människor ägnar sig åt.
8 Förut levde ni ju i mörker, men nu har ni i Herren blivit ljus. Lev då som de som tillhör ljuset. 9 Ljusets frukt är ju godhet, rättfärdighet och sanning. 10 Sök alltid efter det som behagar Herren. 11 Delta inte i mörkrets fruktlösa gärningar, utan avslöja dem i stället. 12 Vad dessa människor har för sig i hemlighet är så skamligt att man inte ens kan tala om det. 13 Men alltsammans ska avslöjas, när ljuset får göra det synligt, 14 för ljuset avslöjar allt. Det är därför man brukar säga:
”Vakna, du som sover,
stå upp från de döda,
så ska Kristus lysa över dig.”[a]
15 Var alltså noga med hur ni lever, inte som ovisa, utan som visa människor. 16 Ta vara på varje tillfälle, för tiden är ond. 17 Var därför inte oförståndiga, utan försök att förstå vad Herren vill. 18 Drick er inte fulla på alkohol, för det leder till utsvävningar. Låt er i stället fyllas av Anden, 19 och tala till varandra med psalmer, hymner och andliga sånger, som ni helhjärtat sjunger och spelar för Herren.[b] 20 Tacka alltid vår Gud och Fader för allting i vår Herre Jesus Kristus namn.
Råd angående gifta par
21 Underordna er varandra i fruktan för Kristus, 22 och ni gifta kvinnor era män som Herren. 23 Mannen är huvud för sin hustru, liksom Kristus är huvud för församlingen, Frälsare för denna sin kropp. 24 Så som församlingen underordnar sig Kristus, ska också gifta kvinnor i allt underordna sig sina män.
25 Ni gifta män, älska era hustrur så som Kristus har älskat församlingen och gett sitt liv för den, 26 för att helga den, sedan han gjort den ren genom bad i vatten och genom ordet. 27 Han ville låta församlingen stå där inför honom i härlighet, utan fläck eller skrynkla eller något sådant, helig och felfri. 28 På samma sätt är mannen skyldig att älska sin hustru som sin egen kropp. Den som älskar sin hustru älskar sig själv. 29 Ingen hatar ju sin egen kropp, utan ger den näring och tar hand om den. Så gör Kristus med församlingen. 30 Och i den kroppen är vi alla olika delar.
31 ”Det är därför en man lämnar sin far och mor och håller sig till sin hustru, så att de två blir ett kött.”[c] 32 Det ligger en stor hemlighet i detta, här talar jag om Kristus och församlingen. 33 Men också en man ska älska sin hustru som sig själv, och hustrun ska visa sin man respekt.

Be Imitators of God
5 (A)Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2 and (B)walk in love, just as Christ also (C)loved [a]you and (D)gave Himself up for us, an (E)offering and a sacrifice to God [b]as a (F)fragrant aroma.
3 But (G)sexual immorality [c]or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among [d]saints; 4 and there must be no (H)filthiness [e]or foolish talk, or vulgar joking, which (I)are not fitting, but rather (J)giving of thanks. 5 For this you know with certainty, that (K)no sexually immoral or [f]impure or greedy person, which [g]amounts to an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom (L)of Christ and God.
6 (M)See that no one deceives you with empty words, for because of these things (N)the wrath of God comes upon (O)the [h]sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not become (P)partners with them; 8 for (Q)you were once (R)darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as (S)children of light 9 (for (T)the fruit of the light consists in all (U)goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 [i](V)as you try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 (W)Do not participate in the useless (X)deeds of (Y)darkness, but instead even (Z)expose them; 12 for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things become visible (AA)when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. 14 For this reason [j]it says,
15 So then, [k]be careful how you (AE)walk, not (AF)as unwise people but as wise, 16 [l](AG)making the most of your time, because (AH)the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but (AI)understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And (AJ)do not get drunk with wine, [m]in which there is (AK)debauchery, but be (AL)filled with the Spirit, 19 (AM)speaking to [n]one another in (AN)psalms and (AO)hymns and spiritual (AP)songs, (AQ)singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord; 20 (AR)always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to our (AS)God and Father; 21 [o](AT)and subject yourselves to one another in the [p](AU)fear of Christ.
Marriage like Christ and the Church
22 (AV)Wives, (AW)subject yourselves to your own husbands, (AX)as to the Lord. 23 For (AY)the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the (AZ)head of the church, He Himself (BA)being the Savior of the body. 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.
25 (BB)Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and (BC)gave Himself up for her, 26 (BD)so that He might sanctify her, having (BE)cleansed her by the (BF)washing of water with (BG)the word, 27 that He might (BH)present to Himself the church [q]in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be (BI)holy and blameless. 28 So husbands also ought to (BJ)love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; 29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, 30 because we are (BK)parts of His (BL)body. 31 (BM)For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless, as for you individually, each husband is to (BN)love his own wife the same as himself, and the wife must see to it that she (BO)respects her husband.

Ephesians 5
King James Version
5 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And 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.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For 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.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For 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;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For 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.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That 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.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Ang Mamuhay Ayon sa Liwanag
5 Kaya bilang mga minamahal na anak, tularan ninyo ang Diyos. 2 (A) Mamuhay kayo sa pag-ibig, kung paanong inibig tayo ni Cristo at ibinigay ang kanyang sarili para sa atin bilang isang mabangong handog at alay sa Diyos. 3 Tulad ng nararapat sa mga banal, hindi dapat mabanggit man lamang tungkol sa inyo ang pakikiapid at anumang uri ng karumihan, o kasakiman. 4 Hindi rin dapat magkaroon sa inyo ng kalaswaan, ni hangal na usapan, o magagaspang na birong wala sa lugar, sa halip ay ang pagpapasalamat. 5 Sapagkat alam na alam ninyo ito na walang mapakiapid, o taong marumi ang pamumuhay, o sakim, na isang uri ng taong sumasamba sa mga diyus-diyosan, ang tatanggap ng pamana sa kaharian ni Cristo at ng Diyos. 6 Huwag kayong padaya kaninuman sa pamamagitan ng mga walang kabuluhang salita, sapagkat dahil sa mga bagay na ito'y dumarating ang galit ng Diyos sa mga suwail na anak. 7 Kaya't huwag kayong makikibahagi sa kanila. 8 Sapagkat kayo noon ay kadiliman, ngunit ngayon sa Panginoon kayo ay liwanag. Mamuhay kayo bilang mga anak ng liwanag.— 9 Sapagkat ang bunga ng liwanag ay matatagpuan sa mga bagay na mabuti, matuwid at totoo. 10 Alamin ninyo kung ano ang kaaya-aya sa Panginoon. 11 At huwag kayong makibahagi sa mga walang kapakinabangang gawa ng kadiliman, sa halip ay ilantad ninyo ang mga ito. 12 Sapagkat kahiya-hiyang banggitin man lamang ang mga patagong ginagawa ng mga taong ito. 13 Lahat ng mga bagay na inilantad ng liwanag ay makikita. 14 Sapagkat anumang bagay na nakikita ay nagiging liwanag. Kaya nga't sinasabi,
“Gumising ka, ikaw na natutulog,
bumangon ka mula sa mga patay,
at si Cristo ay magliliwanag sa iyo.”
15 Kaya't mag-ingat kayo sa uri ng inyong pamumuhay, hindi gaya ng mga mangmang, kundi gaya ng marurunong. 16 (B) Lubos ninyong gamitin ang pagkakataon, sapagkat ang mga araw ay masasama. 17 Kaya't huwag kayong maging mga hangal, sa halip ay unawain ninyo kung ano ang kalooban ng Panginoon. 18 Huwag kayong magpakalasing sa alak, na sanhi ng kahalayan, sa halip ay mapuspos kayo ng Espiritu. 19 Mag-usap-usap kayo (C) sa pamamagitan ng mga awit, ng mga himno at ng mga awiting espirituwal; mag-awitan kayo at mag-alay ng himig mula sa inyong mga puso sa Panginoon. 20 Sa pangalan ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, lagi kayong magpasalamat sa lahat ng mga bagay sa Diyos na ating Ama.
Ang Relasyong Mag-asawa
21 Magpasakop kayo sa isa't isa bilang bunga ng inyong paggalang kay Cristo. 22 Mga (D) asawang babae, magpasakop kayo sa inyu-inyong mga asawa, tulad ng pagpapasakop ninyo sa Panginoon. 23 Sapagkat ang asawang lalaki ang ulo ng asawang babae, kung paanong si Cristo ang ulo ng iglesya, at siya mismo ang tagapagligtas ng katawan. 24 Ngayon, kung paanong nagpapasakop kay Cristo ang iglesya, gayundin ang mga asawang babae ay dapat pasakop sa lahat ng bagay sa kani-kanilang asawa. 25 Mga (E) asawang lalaki, ibigin ninyo ang inyu-inyong mga asawa, kung paanong inibig ni Cristo ang iglesya at inialay ang kanyang sarili para dito, 26 upang pakabanalin niya ito, matapos linisin sa pamamagitan ng paghuhugas ng tubig na may kalakip na salita, 27 upang maiharap niya sa kanyang sarili ang iglesya na maluwalhati, walang dungis o kulubot o anumang tulad nito, sa halip ang iglesya ay maging banal at walang kapintasan. 28 Sa gayunding paraan, dapat ibigin ng asawang lalaki ang kanyang sariling asawa tulad ng sarili niyang katawan. Ang umiibig sa sarili niyang asawa ay umiibig sa kanyang sarili. 29 Sapagkat walang sinumang namuhi sa sarili niyang katawan, sa halip ay inaaruga niya ito at iniingatan, gaya ng ginagawa ni Cristo sa iglesya; 30 sapagkat tayo ay mga bahagi ng kanyang katawan. 31 Dahil (F) dito ay iiwan ng isang tao ang kanyang ama at ina, at pipisan siya sa kanyang asawa, at ang dalawa ay magiging isang laman. 32 Napakalalim ng hiwagang ito, ngunit ang sinasabi ko ay tungkol kay Cristo at sa iglesya. 33 Gayunman, dapat ibigin ng bawat lalaki sa inyo ang sarili niyang asawa gaya ng kanyang sarili, at dapat igalang ng babae ang kanyang asawa.
Ephesians 5
New International Version
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.
