¹¹ And they entered the house; and they saw the child, with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him: and they opened their treasures, and presented to him gifts, gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

¹⁴ But thanks be to God, who always procureth us a triumph in the Messiah, and manifesteth by us the odor of the knowledge of him in every place. ¹⁵ For, through the Messiah, we are unto God a sweet odor, in them that live and in them that perish: ¹⁶ to these, an odor of death unto death; and to those, an odor of life unto life. And who is adequate to these things! ¹⁷ For we are not like others, who dilute the words of God; but as of the truth, and as of God, we speak in the Messiah before God.

¹ Be ye therefore imitators of God, as dear children: ² and walk in love; as the Messiah also hath loved us, and hath given up himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God, for a sweet odor. ³ But whoredom, and all impurity, and avarice let them not be at all heard of among you, as it becometh the saints; ⁴ Neither obscenities, nor words of folly, or of division, or of scurrility, which are not useful; but instead of these, thanksgiving. ⁵ For this know ye, that every man who is a whoremonger, or impure, or avaricious, or a worshipper of idols, hath no inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God. ⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words; for it is on account of these things that the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience. ⁷ Therefore be ye not like them. ⁸ For ye were heretofore darkness, but now are ye light in our Lord: therefore, as the children of light, so walk ye. ⁹ For the fruits of the light are in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth. ¹⁰ And search out what is pleasing before our Lord: ¹¹ And have no commerce with the works of darkness which are unfruitful, but reprove them. ¹² For the things they do in secret, it is nauseous even to mention. ¹³ For all things are exposed and made manifest by the light: and whatever maketh manifest, is light. ¹⁴ Wherefore it is said: Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and the Messiah will illuminate thee. ¹⁵ See therefore, that ye walk circumspectly; not like the simple, ¹⁶ but like the wise, who purchase their opportunity; because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Therefore, be not lacking in understanding; but understand ye what is the pleasure of God. ¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness; but be ye filled with the spirit. ¹⁹ And converse with yourselves in psalms and hymns; and with your hearts sing to the Lord, in spiritual songs. ²⁰ And give thanks to God the Father, at all times, for all men, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ²¹ And be submissive one to another, in the love of the Messiah. ²² Wives, be ye submissive to your husbands, as to our Lord. ²³ Because the husband is the head of the wife, even as the Messiah is the head of the church; and he is the vivifier of the body. ²⁴ And as the church is subject to the Messiah, so also let wives be to their husbands in all things. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as the Messiah loved his church, and delivered himself up for it; ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, and cleanse it, by the washing of water, and by the word; ²⁷ and might constitute it a glorious church for himself, in which is no stain, and no wrinkle, and nothing like them; but that it might be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ It behooveth men so to love their wives, as they do their own bodies. For he that loveth his wife loveth himself. ²⁹ For no one ever hated his own body; but nourisheth it, and provideth for it, even as the Messiah the church. ³⁰ For we are members of his body and of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this reason, a man should quit his father and his mother, and adhere to his wife; and the two should be one flesh. ³² This is a great mystery; but I am speaking of the Messiah, and of his church. ³³ Nevertheless, let each of you severally so love his wife, even as himself: and let the wife reverence her husband.

³ And Mary took an alabaster box of perfume of choice spikenard, of great price; and anointed the feet of Jesus; and she wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odor of the perfume.
