에베소서 5장 Coverdale Bible
- 1 Be ye the folowers therfore of God as deare children,
- 2 and walke in loue, euen as Christ loued vs, and gaue him selfe for vs an offerynge and sacrifice of a swete sauoure vnto God.
- 3 As for whordome and all vnclennes, or couetousnes, let it not be named amoge you, as it becommeth sayntes:
- 4 nether fylthines, ner folish talkynge, ner ieastynge (which are not comly) but rather geuynge of thakes.
- 5 For be sure, that no whore monger, or vncleane person, or couetous person (which is a worshipper off ymages) hath inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christ and of God.
- 6 (Let no man disceaue you with vayne wordes) for because of these commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of vnbeleue.
- 7 Be not ye therfore companions with them.
- 8 For sometyme ye were darknesse, but now are ye lighte in the LORDE. Walke as the children of lighte.
- 9 (For the frute of the sprete is all maner of goodnes, and righteousnes and trueth:)
- 10 and prone what is pleasinge vnto the LORDE,
- 11 and haue no fellishippe with ye vnfrutefull workes of darknes, but rather rebuke the.
- 12 For it is shame euen to name those thinges, which are done of them in secrete.
- 13 But all thinges are manifest, whan they are rebuked of the lighte. For what so euer is manifest, that same is lighte.
- 14 Therfore sayeth he: Awake thou that slepest, and stonde vp fro the deed, and Christ shal geue the lighte.
- 15 Take hede therfore how ye walke circumspectly, not as the vnwyse, but as ye wyse,
- 16 and redeme the tyme, for it is a miserable tyme.
- 17 Wherfore be not ye vnwyse, but vnderstonde what the wil of the LORDE is,
- 18 and be not dronken with wyne, wherin is excesse: but be full of the sprete
- 19 and talke amoge youre selues of Psalmes, and ymnes, and spirituall songes, synginge and makynge melody vnto the LORDE in youre hertes
- 20 geuynge thankes alwayes for all thinges vnto God the father, in the name of oure LORDE Iesus Christ,
- 21 submyttinge youreselues one to another in the feare of God.
- 22 Let the wemen submytte them selues vnto their hussbandes, as vnto the LORDE.
- 23 For the hussbande is the wyues heade, eue as Christ also is the heade of the congregacion, and he is the Sauioure of his body.
- 24 Therfore as the congregacion is in subieccion to Christ, likewyse let the wyues be in subieccion to their hussbandes in all thinges.
- 25 Ye hussbandes loue youre wyues, euen as Christ loued the congregacion, and gaue himselfe for it,
- 26 to sanctifye it, and clensed it in the fountayne of water by the worde,
- 27 to make it vnto himselfe a glorious congregacion, hauynge no spot ner wrynkle, ner eny soch thinge, but that it shulde be holy and without blame.
- 28 So oughte men also to loue their wyues, euen as their awne bodyes. He that loueth his wife, loueth himselfe.
- 29 For no ma euer yet hated his awne flesshe, but norisheth and cherissheth it, euen as the LORDE doth also the congregacion.
- 30 For we are membres of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.
- 31 For this cause shal a man leaue father and mother, and cleue vnto his wife, and they two shal be one flesh:
- 32 This is a greate secrete: but I speake of Christ and the congregacion.
- 33 Neuertheles do ye so, that euery one of you loue his wife euen as himselfe: but let the wife feare hir hussbande.
