5:1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children,
5:2 And walk in love, as also The Messiah has loved us and handed himself over for our persons, the offering and sacrifice to God, for a sweet fragrance.
5:3 But fornication, all impurity and greed are not even to be named at all among you, as is appropriate for Holy Ones,
5:4 Neither abusive language, neither worthless words, nor of disgrace, nor of nonsense- these things that are unnecessary, but in place of these, thanksgiving.
5:5 You have known this, that no person who is a fornicator or impure or a greedy person ( who is an idol worshipper ) has any inheritance in The Kingdom of The Messiah and of God.
5:6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things the anger of God comes on the children of disobedience.
5:7 You should not therefore be partners with them.
5:8 For you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in our Lord, therefore so walk as children of Light.
5:9 For the fruits of The Light are in all goodness, righteousness and truth.
5:10 Distinguish what is pleasing before Our Lord.
5:11 Neither should you fellowship with the Servants of darkness, because they have no fruit in them, but you should rebuke them.
5:12 For the thing that they do in secret is an abomination to mention.
5:13 For all things are corrected by The Light and they are revealed, and everything that reveals is light.
5:14 Therefore it is said, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from among the dead and The Messiah will illuminate you.”
5:15 See therefore that you walk honorably, not as the fools, but as the wise,
5:16 Who redeem their opportunities because the days are evil.
5:17 Therefore do not be stupid, but understanding what the will of God is.
5:18 Neither be drunk with wine in which is debauchery, but be filled with The Spirit.
5:19 But speak to yourselves in Psalms and hymns and songs of The Spirit; be singing in your hearts to THE LORD JEHOVAH.
5:20 Be giving thanks always for the sake of every person in the name of our Lord Yeshua The Messiah to God The Father.
5:21 Be subject to one another in the love of The Messiah.
5:22 Wives, be subject to your husbands as to Our Lord,
5:23 Because the man is the head of the woman just as The Messiah is also The Head of the church and he is The Savior of the body.
5:24 But just as the church is subject to The Messiah, in this way also wives are to their husbands in all things.
5:25 Husbands, love your wives, as The Messiah also loves his church and gave himself up for her sake,
5:26 To sanctify and purify her in the washing of water and in the word.
5:27 And he shall establish the church for himself without blemish or wrinkle, neither any such things whatsoever, but it will be holy and without defect.
5:28 In this way men ought to love their wives as their bodies. Whoever loves his wife loves himself.
5:29 For no man ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cares for his own, just as The Messiah does also for his church.
5:30 Because we are members of his body and we are of his flesh and of his bones.
5:31 Therefore, a man should leave his father and his mother and should cleave to his wife, and the two of them shall be one flesh.
5:32 This is a great mystery, but I am speaking about The Messiah and about his church.
5:33 Moreover, you also, everyone of you should in this way love his wife as himself; but the woman should revere her husband.
