Ephesians 5

New International Version NIV

1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children

2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.

4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.

7 Therefore do not be partners with them.

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light

9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)

10 and find out what pleases the Lord.

11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.

14 This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,

16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,

19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,

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

21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.

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 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives 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.

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.”

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 as he loves himself, and the 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
