Ephesians 5

1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children,

1 因此，你们既然是上帝疼爱的儿女，就要效法上帝。

2 and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God.

2 要以爱心待人，像基督爱我们一样，祂为我们牺牲自己作为献给上帝的馨香供物和祭物。

3 But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed.

3 一切淫乱、污秽或贪婪的事在你们当中连提都不要提，才合乎圣徒的身份。

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

4 污言秽语、愚昧粗俗的谈笑都不合宜，总要说感恩的话才好。

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

5 因为你们清楚知道，淫乱的人、污秽的人，还有贪婪的人，就是拜偶像的人，在基督和上帝的国里没有立足之地。

6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

6 不要被虚空的道理欺骗，因为上帝的烈怒必临到做这些事的悖逆之人。

7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.

7 所以，你们不要与他们同流合污。

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

8 你们从前活在黑暗中，现在既然活在主的光明中，行事为人就该像光明的儿女。

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

9 光明总是结出良善、公义和真理的果子。

10 Test and prove what pleases the Lord.

10 你们要察验什么是主所喜悦的事，

11 Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

11 不可参与那些黑暗无益的事，反而要揭发，

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

12 因为那些人暗地里做的事就是提起来都觉得可耻。

13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself.

13 然而，一切事被光一照，都会真相大白，

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

14 因为光能使一切显明出来。因此有人说： “沉睡的人啊，醒来吧！ 从死人中起来吧， 基督要光照你了！”

15 Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,

15 因此，你们要注意自己的生活，不要像愚昧人，要像有智慧的人。

16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

16 要爱惜光阴，因为现今是个邪恶的世代。

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

17 所以，不要做糊涂人，要明白主的旨意。

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

18 不要醉酒，醉酒会使人放荡，要被圣灵充满。

19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord,

19 要用诗篇、圣诗、灵歌互相激励，从心底唱出赞美主的旋律。

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

20 凡事总要奉我们主耶稣基督的名感谢父上帝。

21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

21 你们要存敬畏基督的心彼此顺服。

22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

22 你们做妻子的，要顺服丈夫，如同顺服主。

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.

23 因为丈夫是妻子的头，正如基督是祂的身体——教会的头，又是教会的救主。

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

24 教会怎样顺服基督，妻子也要照样凡事顺服丈夫。

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

25 你们做丈夫的要爱妻子，正如基督爱教会，为教会舍己，

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

26 好借着道用水洗净教会，使她圣洁，

27 and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.

27 以便把圣洁、完美、没有污点和皱纹等瑕疵的荣耀教会献给祂自己。

28 In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

28 同样，做丈夫的也要爱妻子如同爱自己的身体，爱妻子就是爱自己。

29 Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

29 从来没有人会厌恶自己的身体，人会保养和爱惜身体，正如基督对待教会一样，

30 For we are members of His body.

30 因为我们是祂身上的肢体。

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.”

31 “因此，人要离开父母，与妻子结合，二人成为一体。”

32 This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church.

32 这是一个极大的奥秘，然而我是指着基督和教会的关系说的。

33 Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

33 总之，你们做丈夫的都要爱妻子如同爱自己，做妻子的也要敬重丈夫。
