WEB
1Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
MSG
1Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents.
WEB
2Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
MSG
2Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.
WEB
3But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
MSG
3Don't allow love to turn into lust, setting off a downhill slide into sexual promiscuity, filthy practices, or bullying greed.
WEB
4nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.
MSG
4Though some tongues just love the taste of gossip, Christians have better uses for language than that. Don't talk dirty or silly. That kind of talk doesn't fit our style. Thanksgiving is our dialect.
WEB
5Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
MSG
5You can be sure that using people or religion or things just for what you can get out of them—the usual variations on idolatry—will get you nowhere, and certainly nowhere near the kingdom of Christ, the kingdom of God.
WEB
6Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
MSG
6Don't let yourselves get taken in by religious smooth talk. God gets furious with people who are full of religious sales talk but want nothing to do with him.
WEB
7Therefore don’t be partakers with them.
MSG
7Don't even hang around people like that.
WEB
8For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
MSG
8You groped your way through that murk once, but no longer. You're out in the open now. The bright light of Christ makes your way plain. So no more stumbling around. Get on with it!
WEB
9for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
MSG
9The good, the right, the true—these are the actions appropriate for daylight hours.
WEB
10proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
MSG
10Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it.
WEB
11Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
MSG
11Don't waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are.
WEB
12For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
MSG
12It's a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see.
WEB
13But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
MSG
13Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ.
WEB
14Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
MSG
14Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light!
WEB
15Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
MSG
15So watch your step. Use your head.
WEB
16redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
MSG
16Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times!
WEB
17Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
MSG
17Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants.
WEB
18Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
MSG
18Don't drink too much wine. That cheapens your life. Drink the Spirit of God, huge draughts of him.
WEB
19speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
MSG
19Sing hymns instead of drinking songs! Sing songs from your heart to Christ.
WEB
20giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
MSG
20Sing praises over everything, any excuse for a song to God the Father in the name of our Master, Jesus Christ.
WEB
21subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.
MSG
21Out of respect for Christ, be courteously reverent to one another.
WEB
22Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
MSG
22Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ.
WEB
23For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
MSG
23The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing.
WEB
24But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
MSG
24So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewise submit to their husbands.
WEB
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;
MSG
25Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting.
WEB
26that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
MSG
26Christ's love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her,
WEB
27that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.
MSG
27dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness.
WEB
28Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
MSG
28And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They're really doing themselves a favor—since they're already "one" in marriage.
WEB
29For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
MSG
29No one abuses his own body, does he? No, he feeds and pampers it. That's how Christ treats us, the church,
WEB
30because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
MSG
30since we are part of his body.
WEB
31“For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.”
MSG
31And this is why a man leaves father and mother and cherishes his wife. No longer two, they become "one flesh."
WEB
32This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.
MSG
32This is a huge mystery, and I don't pretend to understand it all. What is clearest to me is the way Christ treats the church.
WEB
33Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
MSG
33And this provides a good picture of how each husband is to treat his wife, loving himself in loving her, and how each wife is to honor her husband.
