Ephesians 5

New Century Version NCV

1 You are God's children whom he loves, so try to be like him.

2 Live a life of love just as Christ loved us and gave himself for us as a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to God.

3 But there must be no sexual sin among you, or any kind of evil or greed. Those things are not right for God's holy people.

4 Also, there must be no evil talk among you, and you must not speak foolishly or tell evil jokes. These things are not right for you. Instead, you should be giving thanks to God.

5 You can be sure of this: No one will have a place in the kingdom of Christ and of God who sins sexually, or does evil things, or is greedy. Anyone who is greedy is serving a false god.

6 Do not let anyone fool you by telling you things that are not true, because these things will bring God's anger on those who do not obey him.

7 So have nothing to do with them.

8 In the past you were full of darkness, but now you are full of light in the Lord. So live like children who belong to the light.

9 Light brings every kind of goodness, right living, and truth.

10 Try to learn what pleases the Lord.

11 Have nothing to do with the things done in darkness, which are not worth anything. But show that they are wrong.

12 It is shameful even to talk about what those people do in secret.

13 But the light makes all things easy to see,

14 and everything that is made easy to see can become light. This is why it is said: "Wake up, sleeper! Rise from death, and Christ will shine on you."

15 So be very careful how you live. Do not live like those who are not wise, but live wisely.

16 Use every chance you have for doing good, because these are evil times.

17 So do not be foolish but learn what the Lord wants you to do.

18 Do not be drunk with wine, which will ruin you, but be filled with the Spirit.

19 Speak to each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your hearts to the Lord.

20 Always give thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

21 Yield to obey each other because you respect Christ.

22 Wives, yield to your husbands, as you do to the Lord,

23 because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. And he is the Savior of the body, which is the church.

24 As the church yields to Christ, so you wives should yield to your husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it

26 to make it belong to God. Christ used the word to make the church clean by washing it with water.

27 He died so that he could give the church to himself like a bride in all her beauty. He died so that the church could be pure and without fault, with no evil or sin or any other wrong thing in it.

28 In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they love their own bodies. The man who loves his wife loves himself.

29 No one ever hates his own body, but feeds and takes care of it. And that is what Christ does for the church,

30 because we are parts of his body.

31 The Scripture says, "So a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one body."

32 That secret is very important -- I am talking about Christ and the church.

33 But each one of you must love his wife as he loves himself, and a wife must respect her husband.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 estote ergo imitatores Dei sicut filii carissimi

2 et ambulate in dilectione sicut et Christus dilexit nos et tradidit se ipsum pro nobis oblationem et hostiam Deo in odorem suavitatis

3 fornicatio autem et omnis inmunditia aut avaritia nec nominetur in vobis sicut decet sanctos

4 aut turpitudo aut stultiloquium aut scurrilitas quae ad rem non pertinent sed magis gratiarum actio

5 hoc enim scitote intellegentes quod omnis fornicator aut inmundus aut avarus quod est idolorum servitus non habet hereditatem in regno Christi et Dei

6 nemo vos seducat inanibus verbis propter haec enim venit ira Dei in filios diffidentiae

7 nolite ergo effici participes eorum

8 eratis enim aliquando tenebrae nunc autem lux in Domino ut filii lucis ambulate

9 fructus enim lucis est in omni bonitate et iustitia et veritate

10 probantes quid sit beneplacitum Deo

11 et nolite communicare operibus infructuosis tenebrarum magis autem et redarguite

12 quae enim in occulto fiunt ab ipsis turpe est et dicere

13 omnia autem quae arguuntur a lumine manifestantur omne enim quod manifestatur lumen est

14 propter quod dicit surge qui dormis et exsurge a mortuis et inluminabit tibi Christus

15 videte itaque fratres quomodo caute ambuletis non quasi insipientes sed ut sapientes

16 redimentes tempus quoniam dies mali sunt

17 propterea nolite fieri inprudentes sed intellegentes quae sit voluntas Domini

18 et nolite inebriari vino in quo est luxuria sed implemini Spiritu

19 loquentes vobismet ipsis in psalmis et hymnis et canticis spiritalibus cantantes et psallentes in cordibus vestris Domino

20 gratias agentes semper pro omnibus in nomine Domini nostri Iesu Christi Deo et Patri

21 subiecti invicem in timore Christi

22 mulieres viris suis subditae sint sicut Domino

23 quoniam vir caput est mulieris sicut Christus caput est ecclesiae ipse salvator corporis

24 sed ut ecclesia subiecta est Christo ita et mulieres viris suis in omnibus

25 viri diligite uxores sicut et Christus dilexit ecclesiam et se ipsum tradidit pro ea

26 ut illam sanctificaret mundans lavacro aquae in verbo

27 ut exhiberet ipse sibi gloriosam ecclesiam non habentem maculam aut rugam aut aliquid eiusmodi sed ut sit sancta et inmaculata

28 ita et viri debent diligere uxores suas ut corpora sua qui suam uxorem diligit se ipsum diligit

29 nemo enim umquam carnem suam odio habuit sed nutrit et fovet eam sicut et Christus ecclesiam

30 quia membra sumus corporis eius de carne eius et de ossibus eius

31 propter hoc relinquet homo patrem et matrem suam et adherebit uxori suae et erunt duo in carne una

32 sacramentum hoc magnum est ego autem dico in Christo et in ecclesia

33 verumtamen et vos singuli unusquisque suam uxorem sicut se ipsum diligat uxor autem ut timeat virum
