以弗所書 5
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
5 所以，做為蒙愛的兒女，你們要效法神； 2 要在愛中行事[a]，就像基督也愛了我們，為我們捨棄了自己，做供物和祭物獻給神，成為馨香的氣味。 3 至於淫亂和一切汙穢，或是貪心，在你們中間連提都不可提，這樣才與聖徒相宜。 4 汙穢的言行、愚妄的話語、下流的笑話，這些都不合宜；反而倒要說感謝的話。 5 實際上你們應當清楚知道這一點：所有淫亂的、汙穢的，或貪心的——就是拜偶像的——在基督和神的國度裡都得不到繼業。
光明與黑暗
6 不要讓任何人用虛空的話把你們欺騙了；正是為了這些，神的震怒就臨到那些不信從的兒女[b]身上。 7 所以，不要與他們同夥。 8 你們從前原是黑暗，但如今在主裡就是光；你們要像屬於光的兒女行走， 9 原來屬於光的果子[c]，就是一切良善、公義、真理； 10 要分辨什麼是主所喜悅的事。 11 你們不要參與那些屬黑暗結不出果子的事，反而要把那些事揭露出來， 12 因為他們暗中所做的，連說出來也是可恥的。 13 然而，一切被光所揭露的事，都要成為明顯的， 14 因為使一切成為明顯的，就是光。所以有話說：
「醒過來！睡著的人哪，從死人中起來吧！
基督就要光照你了！」
基督徒生活的一致性
15 所以，你們要仔細察看怎樣行事為人，不要像沒有智慧的人，而要像有智慧的人； 16 要把握機會[d]，因為這時代是邪惡的。 17 為此，不要做愚妄的人，而要領悟主的旨意是什麼。 18 不要醉酒，醉酒帶來[e]放蕩，而要被聖靈充滿：
19 用詩篇、聖詩、屬靈的詩歌彼此對說，
從你們的心裡，歌頌讚美主；
20 奉我們主耶穌基督的名，
為一切常常感謝父神；
21 懷著敬畏基督[f]的心，彼此服從。
妻子與丈夫
22 你們做妻子的，要服從[g]自己的丈夫，如同服從主， 23 因為丈夫是妻子的頭，正如基督是教會的頭；他也是這身體的救主。 24 而且教會怎樣服從基督，妻子也照樣要在一切事上服從[h]丈夫。 25 你們做丈夫的，要愛自己的妻子，就像基督也愛了教會，為她捨棄了自己。 26 基督這麼做[i]，是要藉著話語，用水[j]的洗滌而潔淨教會，使她分別為聖， 27 為要給自己預備一個榮耀的教會，沒有汙漬、皺紋或任何這類的事，卻要她成為聖潔、毫無瑕疵。 28 照樣，丈夫也應該愛自己的妻子，就像愛自己的身體一樣；那愛自己妻子的，就是愛自己。 29 從來沒有人恨惡自己的身體，總是保養、顧惜它，就像基督[k]對待教會那樣， 30 因為我們是基督身體的各個部分[l][m]。
31 「為這緣故，人將離開父母，
與妻子結合，
兩個人就成為一體。」[n]
32 這是極大的奧祕，但我是指著基督和教會說的。 33 不過，你們每一個人也要愛自己的妻子，就像愛自己一樣；而妻子要敬重[o]丈夫。

Ephesians 5
King James Version
5 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That 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.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
