Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children;
1γινεσθε ουν μιμηται του θεου ωσ τεκνα αγαπητα
2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.
2και περιπατειτε εν αγαπη καθωσ και ο χριστοσ ηγαπησεν ημασ και παρεδωκεν εαυτον υπερ ημων προσφοραν και θυσιαν τω θεω εισ οσμην ευωδιασ
3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints:
3πορνεια δε και πασα ακαθαρσια η πλεονεξια μηδε ονομαζεσθω εν υμιν καθωσ πρεπει αγιοισ
4Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks.
4και αισχροτησ και μωρολογια η ευτραπελια τα ουκ ανηκοντα αλλα μαλλον ευχαριστια
5For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
5τουτο γαρ εστε γινωσκοντεσ οτι πασ πορνοσ η ακαθαρτοσ η πλεονεκτησ οσ εστιν ειδωλολατρησ ουκ εχει κληρονομιαν εν τη βασιλεια του χριστου και θεου
6Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief.
6μηδεισ υμασ απατατω κενοισ λογοισ δια ταυτα γαρ ερχεται η οργη του θεου επι τουσ υιουσ τησ απειθειασ
7Be ye not therefore partakers with them.
7μη ουν γινεσθε συμμετοχοι αυτων
8For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light.
8ητε γαρ ποτε σκοτοσ νυν δε φωσ εν κυριω ωσ τεκνα φωτοσ περιπατειτε
9For the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth;
9ο γαρ καρποσ του πνευματοσ εν παση αγαθωσυνη και δικαιοσυνη και αληθεια
10Proving what is well pleasing to God:
10δοκιμαζοντεσ τι εστιν ευαρεστον τω κυριω
11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
11και μη συγκοινωνειτε τοισ εργοισ τοισ ακαρποισ του σκοτουσ μαλλον δε και ελεγχετε
12For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
12τα γαρ κρυφη γινομενα υπ αυτων αισχρον εστιν και λεγειν
13But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light.
13τα δε παντα ελεγχομενα υπο του φωτοσ φανερουται παν γαρ το φανερουμενον φωσ εστιν
14Wherefore he saith: Rise thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee.
14διο λεγει εγειρε ο καθευδων και αναστα εκ των νεκρων και επιφαυσει σοι ο χριστοσ
15See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise,
15βλεπετε ουν πωσ ακριβωσ περιπατειτε μη ωσ ασοφοι αλλ ωσ σοφοι
16But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
16εξαγοραζομενοι τον καιρον οτι αι ημεραι πονηραι εισιν
17Wherefore become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God.
17δια τουτο μη γινεσθε αφρονεσ αλλα συνιεντεσ τι το θελημα του κυριου
18And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury; but be ye filled with the holy Spirit,
18και μη μεθυσκεσθε οινω εν ω εστιν ασωτια αλλα πληρουσθε εν πνευματι
19Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord;
19λαλουντεσ εαυτοισ ψαλμοισ και υμνοισ και ωδαισ πνευματικαισ αδοντεσ και ψαλλοντεσ εν τη καρδια υμων τω κυριω
20Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father:
20ευχαριστουντεσ παντοτε υπερ παντων εν ονοματι του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου τω θεω και πατρι
21Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.
21υποτασσομενοι αλληλοισ εν φοβω χριστου
22Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:
22αι γυναικεσ τοισ ιδιοισ ανδρασιν υποτασσεσθε ωσ τω κυριω
23Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.
23οτι ανηρ εστιν κεφαλη τησ γυναικοσ ωσ και ο χριστοσ κεφαλη τησ εκκλησιασ και αυτοσ εστιν σωτηρ του σωματοσ
24Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.
24αλλ ωσπερ η εκκλησια υποτασσεται τω χριστω ουτωσ και αι γυναικεσ τοισ ιδιοισ ανδρασιν εν παντι
25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it:
25οι ανδρεσ αγαπατε τασ γυναικασ εαυτων καθωσ και ο χριστοσ ηγαπησεν την εκκλησιαν και εαυτον παρεδωκεν υπερ αυτησ
26That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:
26ινα αυτην αγιαση καθαρισασ τω λουτρω του υδατοσ εν ρηματι
27That 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.
27ινα παραστηση αυτην εαυτω ενδοξον την εκκλησιαν μη εχουσαν σπιλον η ρυτιδα η τι των τοιουτων αλλ ινα η αγια και αμωμοσ
28So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
28ουτωσ οφειλουσιν οι ανδρεσ αγαπαν τασ εαυτων γυναικασ ωσ τα εαυτων σωματα ο αγαπων την εαυτου γυναικα εαυτον αγαπα
29For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:
29ουδεισ γαρ ποτε την εαυτου σαρκα εμισησεν αλλ εκτρεφει και θαλπει αυτην καθωσ και ο κυριοσ την εκκλησιαν
30Because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
30οτι μελη εσμεν του σωματοσ αυτου εκ τησ σαρκοσ αυτου και εκ των οστεων αυτου
31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.
31αντι τουτου καταλειψει ανθρωποσ τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα και προσκολληθησεται προσ την γυναικα αυτου και εσονται οι δυο εισ σαρκα μιαν
32This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church.
32το μυστηριον τουτο μεγα εστιν εγω δε λεγω εισ χριστον και εισ την εκκλησιαν
33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: and let the wife fear her husband.
33πλην και υμεισ οι καθ ενα εκαστοσ την εαυτου γυναικα ουτωσ αγαπατω ωσ εαυτον η δε γυνη ινα φοβηται τον ανδρα
