5:1  estote ergo imitatores Dei sicut        1.  Be ye therefore followers of God,
filii carissimi                              as dear children;

5:2  et ambulate in dilectione sicut et      2.  And walk in love, as Christ also
Christus dilexit nos et tradidit se          hath loved us, and hath given himself
ipsum pro nobis oblationem et hostiam        for us an offering and a sacrifice to
Deo in odorem suavitatis                     God for a sweetsmelling savour.

5:3  fornicatio autem et omnis               3.  But fornication, and all
inmunditia aut avaritia nec nominetur        uncleanness, or covetousness, let it
in vobis sicut decet sanctos                 not be once named among you, as
                                             becometh saints;

5:4  aut turpitudo aut stultiloquium         4.  Neither filthiness, nor foolish
aut scurrilitas quae ad rem non              talking, nor jesting, which are not
pertinent sed magis gratiarum actio          convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

5:5  hoc enim scitote intellegentes          5.  For this ye know, that no
quod omnis fornicator aut inmundus aut       whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor
avarus quod est idolorum servitus non        covetous man, who is an idolater, hath
habet hereditatem in regno Christi et        any inheritance in the kingdom of
Dei                                          Christ and of God.

5:6  nemo vos seducat inanibus verbis        6.  Let no man deceive you with vain
propter haec enim venit ira Dei in           words: for because of these things
filios diffidentiae                          cometh the wrath of God upon the
                                             children of disobedience.

5:7  nolite ergo effici participes eorum     7.  Be not ye therefore partakers with
                                             them.

5:8  eratis enim aliquando tenebrae          8.  For ye were sometimes darkness, but
nunc autem lux in Domino ut filii lucis      now are ye light in the Lord: walk as
ambulate                                     children of light:

5:9  fructus enim lucis est in omni          9.  (For the fruit of the Spirit is in
bonitate et iustitia et veritate             all goodness and righteousness and
                                             truth;)

5:10  probantes quid sit beneplacitum        10.  Proving what is acceptable unto
Deo                                          the Lord.

5:11  et nolite communicare operibus         11.  And have no fellowship with the
infructuosis tenebrarum magis autem et       unfruitful works of darkness, but
redarguite                                   rather reprove them.

5:12  quae enim in occulto fiunt ab          12.  For it is a shame even to speak of
ipsis turpe est et dicere                    those things which are done of them in
                                             secret.

5:13  omnia autem quae arguuntur a           13.  But all things that are reproved
lumine manifestantur omne enim quod          are made manifest by the light: for
manifestatur lumen est                       whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

5:14  propter quod dicit surge qui           14.  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou
dormis et exsurge a mortuis et               that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
inluminabit tibi Christus                    and Christ shall give thee light.

5:15  videte itaque fratres quomodo          15.  See then that ye walk
caute ambuletis non quasi insipientes        circumspectly, not as fools, but as
sed ut sapientes                             wise,

5:16  redimentes tempus quoniam dies         16.  Redeeming the time, because the
mali sunt                                    days are evil.

5:17  propterea nolite fieri                 17.  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but
inprudentes sed intellegentes quae sit       understanding what the will of the Lord
voluntas Domini                              is.

5:18  et nolite inebriari vino in quo        18.  And be not drunk with wine,
est luxuria sed implemini Spiritu            wherein is excess; but be filled with
                                             the Spirit;

5:19  loquentes vobismet ipsis in            19.  Speaking to yourselves in psalms
psalmis et hymnis et canticis                and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
spiritalibus cantantes et psallentes in      and making melody in your heart to the
cordibus vestris Domino                      Lord;

5:20  gratias agentes semper pro             20.  Giving thanks always for all
omnibus in nomine Domini nostri Iesu         things unto God and the Father in the
Christi Deo et Patri                         name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

5:21  subiecti invicem in timore Christi     21.  Submitting yourselves one to
                                             another in the fear of God.

5:22  mulieres viris suis subditae sint      22.  Wives, submit yourselves unto your
sicut Domino                                 own husbands, as unto the Lord.

5:23  quoniam vir caput est mulieris         23.  For the husband is the head of the
sicut Christus caput est ecclesiae ipse      wife, even as Christ is the head of the
salvator corporis                            church: and he is the saviour of the
                                             body.

5:24  sed ut ecclesia subiecta est           24.  Therefore as the church is subject
Christo ita et mulieres viris suis in        unto Christ, so let the wives be to
omnibus                                      their own husbands in every thing.

5:25  viri diligite uxores sicut et          25.  Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christus dilexit ecclesiam et se ipsum       Christ also loved the church, and gave
tradidit pro ea                              himself for it;

5:26  ut illam sanctificaret mundans         26.  That he might sanctify and cleanse
lavacro aquae in verbo                       it with the washing of water by the
                                             word,

5:27  ut exhiberet ipse sibi gloriosam       27.  That he might present it to
ecclesiam non habentem maculam aut           himself a glorious church, not having
rugam aut aliquid eiusmodi sed ut sit        spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing;
sancta et inmaculata                         but that it should be holy and without
                                             blemish.

5:28  ita et viri debent diligere            28.  So ought men to love their wives
uxores suas ut corpora sua qui suam          as their own bodies. He that loveth his
uxorem diligit se ipsum diligit              wife loveth himself.

5:29  nemo enim umquam carnem suam odio      29.  For no man ever yet hated his own
habuit sed nutrit et fovet eam sicut et      flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth
Christus ecclesiam                           it, even as the Lord the church:

5:30  quia membra sumus corporis eius        30.  For we are members of his body, of
de carne eius et de ossibus eius             his flesh, and of his bones.

5:31  propter hoc relinquet homo patrem      31.  For this cause shall a man leave
et matrem suam et adherebit uxori suae       his father and mother, and shall be
et erunt duo in carne una                    joined unto his wife, and they two
                                             shall be one flesh.

5:32  sacramentum hoc magnum est ego         32.  This is a great mystery: but I
autem dico in Christo et in ecclesia         speak concerning Christ and the church.

5:33  verumtamen et vos singuli              33.  Nevertheless let every one of you
unusquisque suam uxorem sicut se ipsum       in particular so love his wife even as
diligat uxor autem ut timeat virum           himself; and the wife see that she
                                             reverence her husband.
