Ephesians 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Therefore, as most beloved sons, be imitators of God.	1 Γινεσθε λοιπον μιμηται του Θεου ως τεκνα αγαπητα,
2 And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and delivered himself for us, as an oblation and a sacrifice to God, with a fragrance of sweetness.	2 και περιπατειτε εν αγαπη, καθως και ο Χριστος ηγαπησεν ημας και παρεδωκεν εαυτον υπερ ημων προσφοραν και θυσιαν εις τον Θεον εις οσμην ευωδιας.
3 But let not any kind of fornication, or impurity, or rapacity so much as be named among you, just as is worthy of the saints,	3 Πορνεια δε και πασα ακαθαρσια η πλεονεξια μηδε ας ονομαζηται μεταξυ σας, καθως πρεπει εις αγιους,
4 nor any indecent, or foolish, or abusive talk, for this is without purpose; but instead, give thanks.	4 μηδε αισχροτης και μωρολογια η βωμολοχια, τα οποια ειναι απρεπη, αλλα μαλλον ευχαριστια.
5 For know and understand this: no one who is a fornicator, or lustful, or rapacious (for these are a kind of service to idols) holds an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.	5 Διοτι τουτο εξευρετε, οτι πας πορνος η ακαθαρτος η πλεονεκτης, οστις ειναι ειδωλολατρης, δεν εχει κληρονομιαν εν τη βασιλεια του Χριστου και Θεου.
6 Let no one seduce you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God was sent upon the sons of unbelief.	6 Μηδεις ας μη σας απατα με ματαιους λογους? επειδη δια ταυτα ερχεται η οργη του Θεου επι τους υιους της απειθειας.
7 Therefore, do not choose to become participants with them.	7 Μη γινεσθε λοιπον συμμετοχοι αυτων.
8 For you were darkness, in times past, but now you are light, in the Lord. So then, walk as sons of the light.	8 Διοτι ησθε ποτε σκοτος, τωρα ομως φως εν Κυριω? περιπατειτε ως τεκνα φωτος?
9 For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justice and truth,	9 διοτι ο καρπος του Πνευματος ειναι εν παση αγαθωσυνη και δικαιοσυνη και αληθεια?
10 affirming what is well-pleasing to God.	10 εξεταζοντες τι ειναι ευαρεστον εις τον Κυριον.
11 And so, have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead, refute them.	11 Και μη συγκοινωνειτε εις τα εργα τα ακαρπα του σκοτους, μαλλον δε και ελεγχετε?
12 For the things that are done by them in secret are shameful, even to mention.	12 διοτι τα κρυφιως γινομενα υπ' αυτων αισχρον εστι και λεγειν?
13 But all things that are disputed are made manifest by the light. For all that is made manifest is light.	13 τα δε παντα ελεγχομενα υπο του φωτος γινονται φανερα? επειδη παν το φανερουμενον φως ειναι.
14 Because of this, it is said: “You who are sleeping: awaken, and rise up from the dead, and so shall the Christ enlighten you.”	14 Δια τουτο λεγει? Σηκωθητι ο κοιμωμενος και αναστηθι εκ των νεκρων, και θελει σε φωτισει ο Χριστος.
15 And so, brothers, see to it that you walk cautiously, not like the foolish,	15 Προσεχετε λοιπον πως να περιπατητε ακριβως, μη ως ασοφοι, αλλ' ως σοφοι,
16 but like the wise: atoning for this age, because this is an evil time.	16 εξαγοραζομενοι τον καιρον, διοτι αι ημεραι ειναι πονηραι.
17 For this reason, do not choose to be imprudent. Instead, understand what is the will of God.	17 Δια τουτο μη γινεσθε αφρονες, αλλα νοειτε τι ειναι το θελημα του Κυριου.
18 And do not choose to be inebriated by wine, for this is self-indulgence. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,	18 Και μη μεθυσκεσθε με οινον, εις τον οποιον ειναι ασωτια, αλλα πληρουσθε δια του Πνευματος,
19 speaking among yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual canticles, singing and reciting psalms to the Lord in your hearts,	19 λαλουντες μεταξυ σας με ψαλμους και υμνους και ωδας πνευματικας, αδοντες και ψαλλοντες εν τη καρδια υμων εις τον Κυριον,
20 giving thanks always for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God the Father.	20 ευχαριστουντες παντοτε υπερ παντων εις τον Θεον και Πατερα εν ονοματι του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου,
21 Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.	21 υποτασσομενοι εις αλληλους εν φοβω Θεου.
22 Wives should be submissive to their husbands, as to the Lord.	22 Αι γυναικες, υποτασσεσθε εις τους ανδρας σας ως εις τον Κυριον,
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the Church. He is the Savior of his body.	23 διοτι ο ανηρ ειναι κεφαλη της γυναικος, καθως και ο Χριστος κεφαλη της εκκλησιας, και αυτος ειναι σωτηρ του σωματος.
24 Therefore, just as the Church is subject to Christ, so also should wives be subject to their husbands in all things.	24 Αλλα καθως η εκκλησια υποτασσεται εις τον Χριστον, ουτω και αι γυναικες ας υποτασσωνται εις τους ανδρας αυτων κατα παντα.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and handed himself over for her,	25 Οι ανδρες, αγαπατε τας γυναικας σας, καθως και ο Χριστος ηγαπησε την εκκλησιαν και παρεδωκεν εαυτον υπερ αυτης,
26 so that he might sanctify her, washing her clean by water and the Word of life,	26 δια να αγιαση αυτην, καθαρισας με το λουτρον του υδατος δια του λογου,
27 so that he might offer her to himself as a glorious Church, not having any spot or wrinkle or any such thing, so that she would be holy and immaculate.	27 δια να παραστηση αυτην εις εαυτον ενδοξον εκκλησιαν, μη εχουσαν κηλιδα η ρυτιδα η τι των τοιουτων, αλλα δια να ηναι αγια και αμωμος.
28 So, too, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.	28 Ουτω χρεωστουσιν οι ανδρες να αγαπωσι τας εαυτων γυναικας ως τα εαυτων σωματα. Οστις αγαπα την εαυτου γυναικα εαυτον αγαπα?
29 For no man has ever hated his own flesh, but instead he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also does to the Church.	29 διοτι ουδεις εμισησε ποτε την εαυτου σαρκα, αλλ' εκτρεφει και περιθαλπει αυτην, καθως και ο Κυριος την εκκλησιαν?
30 For we are a part of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.	30 επειδη μελη ειμεθα του σωματος αυτου, εκ της σαρκος αυτου και εκ των οστεων αυτου.
31 “For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.”	31 Δια τουτο θελει αφησει ο ανθρωπος τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα και θελει προσκολληθη εις την γυναικα αυτου, και θελουσιν εισθαι οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν.
32 This is a great Sacrament. And I am speaking in Christ and in the Church.	32 Το μυστηριον τουτο ειναι μεγα, εγω δε λεγω τουτο περι Χριστου και περι της εκκλησιας.
33 Yet truly, each and every one of you should love his wife as himself. And a wife should fear her husband.	33 Πλην και σεις οι καθ' ενα εκαστος την εαυτου γυναικα ουτως ας αγαπα ως εαυτον, η δε γυνη ας σεβηται τον ανδρα.
