Ephesians 4

¹⁷This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,¹⁸being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart;¹⁹who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.²⁰But ye did not so learn Christ;²¹if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:²²that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;²³and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,²⁴and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

²⁵Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.²⁶Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:²⁷neither give place to the devil.²⁸Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.²⁹Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.

³⁰And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.³¹Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:³²and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 5

¹Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;²and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.³But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;⁴nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.⁵For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

⁶Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.⁷Be not ye therefore partakers with them;⁸For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light⁹(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),¹⁰proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;¹¹and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;¹²for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of.

¹³But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.¹⁴Wherefore `he' saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.¹⁵Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil.¹⁷Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

¹⁸And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;¹⁹speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;²⁰giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;²¹subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.²²Wives, `be in subjection' unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

²³For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, `being' himself the saviour of the body.<sup>24</sup>But as the church is subject to Christ, so `let' the wives also `be' to their husbands in everything.<sup>25</sup>Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;<sup>26</sup>that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,<sup>27</sup>that he might present the church to himself a glorious `church', not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

²⁸Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:²⁹for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;³⁰because we are members of his body.³¹For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.³²This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.

³³Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and `let' the wife `see' that she fear her husband.

James 4

¹Whence `come' wars and whence `come' fightings among you? `come they' not hence, `even' of your pleasures that war in your members?²Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not.³Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend `it' in your pleasures.<sup>4</sup>Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.<sup>5</sup>Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying?<sup>6</sup>But he giveth more grace. Wherefore `the scripture' saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

⁷Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.⁸Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded.⁹Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.¹⁰Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.¹¹Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

¹²One `only' is the lawgiver and judge, `even' he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest thy neighbor?¹³Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain:¹⁴whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.¹⁵For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that.¹⁶But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.

¹⁷To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

以弗所书 4

¹⁷所以我说、且在主里确实的说、你们行事、不要再像外邦人存虚妄的心行事．¹⁸他们心地昏昧、与　神所赐的生命隔绝了、都因自己无知、心里刚硬．¹⁹良心既然丧尽、就放纵私欲、贪行种种的污秽。²⁰你们学了基督、却不是这样．²¹如果你们听过他的道、领了他的教、学了他的真理、²²就要脱去你们从前行为上的旧人．这旧人是因私欲的迷惑、渐渐变坏的．²³又要将你们的心志改换一新．²⁴并且穿上新人．这新人是照着　神的形像造的、有真理的仁义、和圣洁。

²⁵所以你们要弃绝谎言、各人与邻舍说实话．因为我们是互相为肢体。²⁶生气却不要犯罪．不可含怒到日落．²⁷也不可给魔鬼留地步。²⁸从前偷窃的、不要再偷．总要劳力、亲手作正经事、就可有余、分给那缺少的人。²⁹污秽的言语、一句不可出口、只要随事说造就人的好话、叫听见的人得益处。

³⁰不要叫　神的圣灵担忧．你们原是受了他的印记、等候得赎的日子来到。³¹一切苦毒、恼恨、忿怒、嚷闹、毁谤、并一切的恶毒、〔或作阴毒〕都当从你们中间除掉．³²并要以恩慈相待、存怜悯的心、彼此饶恕、正如　神在基督里饶恕了你们一样。

以弗所书 5

¹所以你们该效法　神、好像蒙慈爱的儿女一样．²也要凭爱心行事、正如基督爱我们、为我们舍了自己、当作馨香的供物、和祭物、献与　神。³至于淫乱、并一切污秽、或是贪婪、在你们中间连提都不可、方合圣徒的体统。⁴淫词、妄语、和戏笑的话、都不相宜、总要说感谢的话。⁵因为你们确实的知道、无论是淫乱的、是污秽的、是有贪心的、在基督和　神的国里、都是无分的．有贪心的、就与拜偶像的一样。

⁶不要被人虚浮的话欺哄．因这些事、　神的忿怒必临到那悖逆之子。⁷所以你们不要与他们同伙。⁸从前你们是暗昧的、但如今在主里面是光明的、行事为人就当像光明的子女．⁹光明所结的果子、就是一切良善、公义、诚实．¹⁰总要察验何为主所喜悦的事。

¹¹那暗昧无益的事、不要与人同行、倒要责备行这事的人．¹²因为他们暗中所行的、就是提起来、也是可耻的。¹³凡事受了责备、就被光显明出来．因为一切能显明的、就是光。¹⁴所以主说、你这睡着的人、当醒过来、从死里复活、基督就要光照你了。¹⁵你们要谨慎行事、不要像愚昧人、当像智慧人．¹⁶要爱惜光阴、因为现今的世代邪恶。

¹⁷不要作糊涂人、要明白主的旨意如何。¹⁸不要醉酒、酒能使人放荡、乃要被圣灵充满。¹⁹当用诗章、颂词、灵歌、彼此对说、口唱心和的赞美主．²⁰凡事要奉我们主耶稣基督的名、常常感谢父　神。²¹又当存敬畏基督的心、彼此顺服。

²²你们作妻子的、当顺服自己的丈夫、如同顺服主．²³因为丈夫是妻子的头、如同基督是教会的头．他又是教会全体的救主。²⁴教会怎样顺服基督、妻子也要怎样凡事顺服丈夫。²⁵你们作丈夫的、要爱你们的妻子、正如基督爱教会、为教会舍己．²⁶要用水借着道、把教会洗净、成为圣洁、²⁷可以献给自己、作个荣耀的教会、毫无玷污皱纹等类的病、乃是圣洁没有瑕疵的。

²⁸丈夫也当照样爱妻子、如同爱自己的身子．爱妻子、便是爱自己了。²⁹从来没有人恨恶自己的身子、总是保养顾惜、正像基督待教会一样．³⁰因我们是他身上的肢体。〔有古卷在此有就是他的骨他的肉〕³¹为这个缘故、人要离开父母、与妻子连合、二人成为一体。³²这是极大的奥秘、但我是指着基督和教会说的。

³³然而你们各人都当爱妻子、如同爱自己一样．妻子也当敬重他的丈夫。

雅各书 4

¹你们中间的争战斗殴、是从那里来的呢．不是从你们百体中战斗之私欲来的么。²你们贪恋、还是得不着．你们杀害嫉妒、又斗殴争战、也不能得．你们得不着、是因为你们不求。³你们求也得不着、是因为你们妄求、要浪费在你们的宴乐中。⁴你们这些淫乱的人哪、〔淫乱的人原文作淫妇〕岂不知与世俗为友、就是与　神为敌么．所以凡想要与世俗为友的、就是与　神为敌了。⁵你们想经上所说是徒然的么．　神所赐住在我们里面的灵、是恋爱至于嫉妒么。

⁶但他赐更多的恩典．所以经上说、『　神阻挡骄傲的人、赐恩给谦卑的人。』⁷故此你们要顺服　神．务要抵挡魔鬼、魔鬼就必离开你们逃跑了。⁸你们亲近　神、　神就必亲近你们。有罪的人哪、要洁净你们的手。心怀二意的人哪、要清洁你们的心。⁹你们要愁苦、悲哀、哭泣．将喜笑变作悲哀、欢乐变作愁闷。¹⁰务要在主面前自卑、主就必叫你们升高。

¹¹弟兄们、你们不可彼此批评．人若批评弟兄、论断弟兄、就是批评律法、论断律法．你若论断律法、就不是遵行律法、乃是判断人的。¹²设立律法和判断人的、只有一位、就是那能救人也能灭人的．你是谁、竟敢论断别人呢。¹³嗐、你们有话说、今天明天我们要往某城里去、在那里住一年、作买卖得利．¹⁴其实明天如何、你们还不知道。你们的生命是甚么呢．你们原来是一片云雾、出现少时就不见了。¹⁵你们只当说、主若愿意、我们就可以活着、也可以作这事、或作那事。

¹⁶现今你们竟以张狂夸口．凡这样夸口都是恶的。¹⁷人若知道行善、却不去行、这就是他的罪了。
