1 Therefore you must be imitators of Yahweh, as beloved children,2 and walk in love, just as Christ has also loved us, and surrendered Himself on our behalf, an application and sacrifice to Yahweh for an essence of sweet aroma.3 But fornication and all uncleanness or greediness you must not even specify among you, just as is suitable with saints,4 and abusiveness and foolish speaking or ribaldry, which things are not fitting, but thanksgiving instead.5 This is known by you: that any fornicator, or unclean or greedy person - who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the Kingdom of the Anointed and of Yahweh.6 No one must deceive you with empty words, for on account of these things the wrath of Yahweh comes upon the sons of disobedience.7 Therefore you must not be partakers with them.8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Prince. Walk as children of light.9 (For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justness and truth,10 scrutinizing what is acceptable to the Prince.)11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead even reprove them.12 For the things being done by them secretly it is disgraceful even to speak of.13 Now all things being reproved by the light are made manifest.14 For everything being made manifest is light. Therefore He says: "Awaken, you who are sleeping, and rise up from among the dead, and Christ shall shine upon you."15 So then watch precisely how you walk, not as the stupid, but as the wise,16 Buying the time, because the days are evil.17 For this reason do not be foolish, rather understand what is the will of the Prince.18 And do not be intoxicated with wine, in which there is abandonment, rather you be filled with the Spirit,19 talking to yourselves with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Prince.20 At all times being thankful for all things in the name of our Prince, Yahshua Christ, to Yahweh, even the Father.21 Subject yourselves to one another in fear of Christ:22 wives, to their own husbands, as if to the Prince,23 because the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the assembly: He is deliverer of the body.24 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, in that manner also wives in everything to the husbands.25 Husbands, love the wives, just as Christ has also loved the assembly, and had surrendered Himself for it,26 in order that He would consecrate it, cleansing it in the bath of the water in the word,27 that He may present it to Himself in honor, the assembly not having a blemish or a wrinkle or any of such things, but that it would be holy and blameless.28 So husbands are obliged to love their own wives, as their own bodies; he who is loving his own wife loves himself.29 No one has at any time hated his own flesh, but nourishes and comforts it, just as also Christ the assembly,30 because we are members of His body.31 "For this reason shall a man leave father and mother and shall join to his wife, and the two shall be for one flesh."32 This mystery is great, and I speak for Christ and for the assembly.33 Nevertheless, each and every one of you must love his own wife as himself, and the wife should see that she fear the husband.
