¹ Therefore become imitators of God, as beloved children, ² and walk in love, just-as the Christ also loved us and gave himself up on our behalf as an offering and a sacrifice to God for an aroma of a sweet-fragrance.
³ But do not let fornication and all uncleanness or greed even be named among you, as is suitable to holy-ones; ⁴ and do not let obscenity, and foolish-talk or petty jesting, which are not proper, but rather thanksgiving. ⁵ For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor greedy person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words; for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. ⁷ Therefore do not become joint partakers with them. ⁸ For you were previously in darkness, but now you^\'b0 are 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 testing what is well pleasing to the Lord. ¹¹ And have no fellowship together with the unfruitful works of darkness, but also rather reprove them; ¹² for it is shameful even to speak of the things happening by them covertly. ¹³ But being reproved, all things are manifested by the light; for everything which is manifested is light. ¹⁴ Hence he says, Arise, you who are sleeping and rise up from the dead and the Christ will appear upon you.
¹⁵ Therefore beware, how accurately you are walking, not as unwise, but as wise; ¹⁶ buying up the time, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Because of this, do not become foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. ¹⁸ And do not be drunken with wine, in which there is riotousness, but be filled in the Spirit; ¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and singing-praise in your heart to the Lord; ²⁰ giving-thanks always on behalf of all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God and Father; ²¹ being subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
²² The wives be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³ Because the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is also the head of the congregation of believers, he is the savior of the body. ²⁴ But just-like the congregation is subject to the Christ, so let the wives also be subject to their own husbands in all things.
²⁵ The husbands, love^*\'b0 your own wives, just-as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up on her behalf; ²⁶ in order that he might make her holy, having cleansed her in the full-washing of the water in the word, ²⁷ in order that he might present her to himself, the glorious congregation, not having stain or wrinkle or any such things, but in order that she should be holy and unblemished. ²⁸ So the husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but is nourishing and cherishing it, just-as the Lord also does the congregation of believers; ³⁰ because we are members of his body, out of his flesh and out of his bones. ³¹ Because of this, a man will be leaving his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. ³² This mystery is great, but I am speaking in regard to Christ and in regard to the congregation of believers. ³³ However to you also, let each, one to one, love his own wife like himself, and let the wife see that she should fear her husband.

¹⁹ So-then my beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath.

¹ Brethren, even if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you, the spiritual, mend such a one in a spirit of meekness; noting any trespass in yourself, lest you might also be tempted. ² Bear the burdens of one another and thus fulfill the law of the Christ. ³ For if anyone thinks himself to be something, being nothing, he is deceiving himself.

²³ who, being reviled, was not reviling again in return; when suffering, was not threatening, (but was giving himself to the one who judges righteously),

¹⁸ You will not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you will love your neighbor as yourself. I am Jehovah.

¹⁶ There are six things which Jehovah hates, yes, seven which are an abomination to him: ¹⁷ haughty eyes, a lying tongue and hands that shed innocent blood, ¹⁸ a heart that devises wicked purposes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, ¹⁹ a false witness who breathes-out lies and he who sows discord among brothers.

It is kind. Love is not jealous. Love does not brag. It is not arrogant. ⁵ It does not behave improperly. It does not seek its own. It does not irritate. It does not reason evil. ⁶ It does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices together with the truth. ⁷ It is forbearing all things, is believing all things, is hoping for all things, is enduring all things. ⁸ Love never falls short.
But if there are prophesies, they will be done-away; if there are foreign languages, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done-away.
⁹ But we know partially and we prophesy partially; ¹⁰ but whenever the completed thing comes, then what is partially will be done-away. ¹¹ When I was an infant, I was speaking like an infant, I had the mindset like that of an infant, I was reasoning like an infant. Now that I have become a man, I have done-away-with the things of the infant. ¹² For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. I know now partially, but then I will fully know just-as I was also fully known.
¹³ But these three are remaining now: faith, hope, love, and the greater of these is love.

¹⁶ For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is unrest and every evil matter.

¹⁵ Now if your brother sins against you, go and reprove him, the sin is between you and him only; if he hears you, you have gained your brother. ¹⁶ But if he does not hear you, take with you one or two more, in order that, ‘at the mouth of two or three witnesses every declaration should be established.’ ¹⁷ But if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the congregation, and if he also refuses to hear the congregation, let him be just-like the Gentile and the tax collector to you.

³ Take-heed to yourselves; and if your brother sins against you, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. ⁴ And if he sins against you seven-times in the day, and should turn again to you seven-times in the day, saying, I repent. You will be forgiving him.

¹⁹ A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city and such contentions are like the bars of a castle.

²¹ Also do not take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you. ²² Because also your own heart knows many times that you yourself likewise have cursed others.
