| 1 And so, as a prisoner in the Lord, I beg you to walk in a manner worthy of the vocation to which you have been called: 2 with all humility and meekness, with patience, supporting one another in charity. 3 Be anxious to preserve the unity of the Spirit within the bonds of peace. 4 One body and one Spirit: to this you have been called by the one hope of your calling: 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all. 7 Yet to each one of us there has been given grace according to the measure allotted by Christ. 8 Because of this, he says: “Ascending on high, he took captivity itself captive; he gave gifts to men.” 9 Now that he has ascended, what is left except for him also to descended, first to the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is the same one who also ascended above all the heavens, so that he might fulfill everything. 11 And the same one granted that some would be Apostles, and some Prophets, yet truly others evangelists, and others pastors and teachers, 12 for the sake of the perfection of the saints, by the work of the ministry, in the edification of the body of Christ, 13 until we all meet in the unity of faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as a perfect man, in the measure of the age of the fullness of Christ. 14 So may we then no longer be little children, disturbed and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the wickedness of men, and by the craftiness which deceives unto error. 673 15 Instead, acting according to truth in charity, we should increase in everything, in him who is the head, Christ himself. 16 For in him, the whole body is joined closely together, by every underlying joint, through the function allotted to each part, bringing improvement to the body, toward its edification in charity. 17 And so, I say this, and I testify in the Lord: that from now on you should walk, not as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 having their intellect obscured, being alienated from the life of God, through the ignorance that is within them, because of the blindness of their hearts. 19 Such as these, despairing, have given themselves over to sexual immorality, carrying out every impurity with rapacity. 20 But this is not what you have learned in Christ. 21 For certainly, you have listened to him, and you have been instructed in him, according to the truth that is in Jesus: 22 to set aside your earlier behavior, the former man, who was corrupted, by means of desire, unto error, 23 and so be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and so put on the new man, who, in accord with God, is created in justice and in the holiness of truth. 25 Because of this, setting aside lying, speak the truth, each one with his neighbor. For we are all part of one another. 26 “Be angry, but do not be willing to sin.” Do not let the sun set over your anger. 27 Provide no place for the devil. 28 Whoever was stealing, let him now not steal, but rather let him labor, working with his hands, doing what is good, so that he may have something to distribute to those who suffer need. 29 Let no evil words proceed from your mouth, but only what is good, toward the edification of faith, so as to bestow grace upon those who listen. 30 And do not be willing to grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed, unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and anger and indignation and outcry and blasphemy be taken away from you, along with all malice. 32 And be kind and merciful to one another, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you in Christ. |
| 1 Therefore, as most beloved sons, be imitators of God. 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. 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, 4 nor any indecent, or foolish, or abusive talk, for this is without purpose; but instead, give thanks. 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. 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. 7 Therefore, do not choose to become participants with them. 8 For you were darkness, in times past, but now you are light, in the Lord. So then, walk as sons of the light. 9 For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justice and truth, 10 affirming what is well-pleasing to God. 11 And so, have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead, refute them. 12 For the things that are done by them in secret are shameful, even to mention. 13 But all things that are disputed are made manifest by the light. For all that is made manifest is light. 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.” 15 And so, brothers, see to it that you walk cautiously, not like the foolish, 16 but like the wise: atoning for this age, because this is an evil time. 17 For this reason, do not choose to be imprudent. Instead, understand what is the will of God. 18 And do not choose to be inebriated by wine, for this is self-indulgence. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, 19 speaking among yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual canticles, singing and reciting psalms to the Lord in your hearts, 20 giving thanks always for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God the Father. 21 Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. 22 Wives should be submissive to their husbands, as to the Lord. 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. 24 Therefore, just as the Church is subject to Christ, so also should wives be subject to their husbands in all things. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and handed himself over for her, 26 so that he might sanctify her, washing her clean by water and the Word of life, 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. 28 So, too, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no man has ever hated his own flesh, but instead he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also does to the Church. 30 For we are a part of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. 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.” 32 This is a great Sacrament. And I am speaking in Christ and in the Church. 33 Yet truly, each and every one of you should love his wife as himself. And a wife should fear her husband. |
| 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just. 2 Honor your father and your mother. This is the first commandment with a promise: 3 so that it may be well with you, and so that you may have a long life upon the earth. 4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but educate them with the discipline and correction of the Lord. 5 Servants, be obedient to your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ. 6 Do not serve only when seen, as if to please men, but act as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. 7 Serve with good will, as to the Lord, and not to men. 8 For you know that whatever good each one will do, the same will he receive from the Lord, whether he is servant or free. 9 And you, lords, act similarly toward them, setting aside threats, knowing that the Lord of both you and them is in heaven. For with him there is no favoritism toward anyone. 10 Concerning the rest, brothers, be strengthened in the Lord, by the power of his virtue. 11 Be clothed in the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the treachery of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the directors of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in high places. 13 Because of this, take up the armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand the evil day and remain perfect in all things. 14 Therefore, stand firm, having been girded about your waist with truth, and having been clothed with the breastplate of justice, 15 and having feet which have been shod by the preparation of the Gospel of peace. 16 In all things, take up the shield of 674 faith, with which you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. 17 And take up the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit (which is the Word of God). 18 Through every kind of prayer and supplication, pray at all times in spirit, and so be vigilant with every kind of earnest supplication, for all the saints, 19 and also for me, so that words may be given to me, as I open my mouth with faith to make known the mystery of the Gospel, 20 in such a manner that I may dare to speak exactly as I ought to speak. For I act as an ambassador in chains for the Gospel. |
