1 γινεσθε ουν μιμηται του θεου ως τεκνα αγαπητα, 2 και περιπατειτε εν αγαπη, καθως και ο χριστος ηγαπησεν ημας και παρεδωκεν εαυτον υπερ ημων προσφοραν και θυσιαν τω θεω εις οσμην ευωδιας. 3 πορνεια δε και πασα ακαθαρσια η πλεονεξια μηδε ονομαζεσθω εν υμιν, καθως πρεπει αγιοις, 4 και αισχροτης και μωρολογια η ευτραπελια, τα ουκ ανηκοντα, αλλα μαλλον ευχαριστια. 5 τουτο γαρ εστε γινωσκοντες, οτι πας πορνος η ακαθαρτος η πλεονεκτης, ος εστιν ειδωλολατρης, ουκ εχει κληρονομιαν εν τη βασιλεια του χριστου και θεου. 6 μηδεις υμας απατατω κενοις λογοις· δια ταυτα γαρ ερχεται η οργη του θεου επι τους υιους της απειθειας. 7 μη ουν γινεσθε συμμετοχοι αυτων. 8 ητε γαρ ποτε σκοτος, νυν δε φως εν κυριω· ως τεκνα φωτος περιπατειτε·— 9 ο γαρ καρπος του πνευματος εν παση αγαθωσυνη και δικαιοσυνη και αληθεια·— 10 δοκιμαζοντες τι εστιν ευαρεστον τω κυριω. 11 και μη συγκοινωνειτε τοις εργοις τοις ακαρποις του σκοτους, μαλλον δε και ελεγχετε· 12 τα γαρ κρυφη γινομενα υπ αυτων αισχρον εστιν και λεγειν· 13 τα δε παντα ελεγχομενα υπο του φωτος φανερουται· παν γαρ το φανερουμενον φως εστιν. 14 διο λεγει· εγειρε ο καθευδων και αναστα εκ των νεκρων, και επιφαυσει σοι ο χριστος. 15 βλεπετε ουν πως ακριβως περιπατειτε, μη ως ασοφοι, αλλ ως σοφοι, 16 εξαγοραζομενοι τον καιρον, οτι αι ημεραι πονηραι εισιν. 17 δια τουτο μη γινεσθε αφρονες, αλλα συνιεντες τι το θελημα του κυριου. 18 και μη μεθυσκεσθε οινω, εν ω εστιν ασωτια, αλλα πληρουσθε εν πνευματι, 19 λαλουντες εαυτοις ψαλμοις και υμνοις και ωδαις πνευματικαις, αδοντες και ψαλλοντες εν τη καρδια υμων τω κυριω, 20 ευχαριστουντες παντοτε υπερ παντων εν ονοματι του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου τω θεω και πατρι, 21 υποτασσομενοι αλληλοις εν φοβω χριστου. 22 αι γυναικες τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν υποτασσεσθε ως τω κυριω, 23 οτι [ο] ανηρ εστιν κεφαλη της γυναικος, ως και ο χριστος κεφαλη της εκκλησιας, και αυτος εστιν σωτηρ του σωματος. 24 αλλ ωσπερ η εκκλησια υποτασσεται τω χριστω, ουτως και αι γυναικες τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν εν παντι. 25 οι ανδρες αγαπατε τας γυναικας εαυτων, καθως και ο χριστος ηγαπησεν την εκκλησιαν και εαυτον παρεδωκεν υπερ αυτης, 26 ινα αυτην αγιαση καθαρισας τω λουτρω του υδατος εν ρηματι, 27 ινα παραστηση αυτην εαυτω ενδοξον την εκκλησιαν, μη εχουσαν σπιλον η ρυτιδα η τι των τοιουτων, αλλ ινα η αγια και αμωμος. 28 ουτως οφειλουσιν οι ανδρες αγαπαν τας εαυτων γυναικας ως τα εαυτων σωματα. ο αγαπων την εαυτου γυναικα εαυτον αγαπα· 29 ουδεις γαρ ποτε την εαυτου σαρκα εμισησεν, αλλ εκτρεφει και θαλπει αυτην, καθως και ο κυριος την εκκλησιαν· 30 οτι μελη εσμεν του σωματος αυτου, εκ της σαρκος αυτου και εκ των οστεων αυτου· 31 αντι τουτου καταλειψει ανθρωπος τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα και προσκολληθησεται προς την γυναικα αυτου, και εσονται οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν. 32 το μυστηριον τουτο μεγα εστιν, εγω δε λεγω εις χριστον και εις την εκκλησιαν. 33 πλην και υμεις οι καθ ενα εκαστος την εαυτου γυναικα ουτως αγαπατω ως εαυτον, η δε γυνη ινα φοβηται τον ανδρα.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 5:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Ephesians (Homily XVIII)

    There were, it is likely, in the time of our forefathers also, some who "weakened the hands of the people" (Jer. xxxviii. 4.), and brought into practice that which is mentioned by Ezekiel,--or rather who did the works of the false prophets, who "profaned God among His people for handfuls of barley" (Ezek. xiii.

  2. Quotes verse 5:32 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapter VIII)

    … also that Paul has referred to the conjunctions within the Pleroma, showing them forth by means of one; for, when writing of the conjugal union in this life, he expressed himself thus: "This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the Church."

  3. Quotes verse 5:14 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VIII, Chapters III–V)

    Nor had I aught to answer Thee calling to me, "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light." And to Thee showing me on every side, that what Thou saidst was true, I, convicted by the truth, had nothing at all to reply, but the drawling and drowsy words: "Presently, lo, presently;" "Leave …

  4. Quotes verse 5:4 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily VI)

    … this cause he also built theatres in the cities, and having trained those buffoons, by their pernicious influence he causes that kind of pestilence to light upon the whole city, persuading men to follow those things which Paul bade us flee, "foolish talking and jesting." And what is yet more grievous than these things is the subject of the laughter.
