Young's Literal Translation YLT
New International Version NIV
15 See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,
15
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil;
16
making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
17 because of this become not fools, but -- understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,
17
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
18 and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,
18
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, 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,
19
speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,
20 giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father;
20
always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21 subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.
21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,
22
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
23 because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,
23
For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
24 but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything.
24
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,
25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
