1 Así que imiten a Dios, pues ustedes son sus hijos amados.
1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
2 Vivan en amor, como Cristo los amó. Él se entregó por nosotros, y fue un don y ofrenda de sacrificio para Dios como un perfume con dulce aroma.
2 Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
3 Nunca debería mencionarse la inmoralidad sexual o ningún tipo de indecencia o codicia al hablar de ustedes, pues el pueblo de Dios no debería estar haciendo tales cosas.
3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
4 Las conversaciones obscenas, las charlas necias, y los chistes con doble sentido son totalmente inapropiados. Por el contrario, deberían dar gracias a Dios.
4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.
5 Ustedes saben que ciertamente ninguna persona que cometa inmoralidad sexual, indecencia, que sea codiciosa, o idólatra heredará cosa alguna en el reino de Cristo y de Dios.
5 Know 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.
6 No dejen que nadie los engañe con mentiras, porque por tales cosas el juicio de Dios es transmitido a los hijos de la desobediencia.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
7 Así que no participen con ellos en esto.
7 Therefore don’t be partakers with them.
8 En un tiempo ustedes estaban en tinieblas, pero ahora ustedes son luz en el Señor. Deben vivir como hijos de luz
8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
9 (y el fruto de la luz es todo lo bueno y verdadero),
9 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
10 demostrando lo que el Señor realmente desea.
10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
11 No tengan ningún tipo de relación con las cosas inútiles que produce la oscuridad, más bien, expónganlas.
11 Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
12 Es incluso vergonzoso hablar de las cosas que tales personas hacen en secreto,
12 For it is a shame even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.
13 pero cuando algo es expuesto por la luz, entonces es revelado como realmente es. La luz hace visibles todas las cosas.
13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
14 Por eso se dice: “Levántense, ustedes los que duermen, levántense de entre los muertos, y Cristo brillará sobre ustedes”.
14 Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
15 Así que tengan cuidado en cuanto a su forma de vivir, no con necedad, sino con sabiduría,
15 Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise,
16 haciendo el mejor uso posible de las oportunidades, porque los días están llenos de maldad.
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Así que no sean ignorantes y averigüen cuál es la voluntad de Dios.
17 Therefore, don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 No se emborrachen con vino, porque esto arruinará sus vidas, más bien llénense del Espíritu.
18 Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
19 Compartan juntos unos con otros por medio de salmos, himnos y cantos sagrados, cantando y creando música para el Señor con sus corazones.
19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Siempre den gracias a Dios el Padre por todas las cosas en el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
20 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
21 Cada uno de ustedes debe estar dispuesto a aceptar lo que los demás les dicen a partir de la reverencia por Cristo.
21 subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.
22 Esposas, hagan lo que sus esposos les dicen, como lo harían si se los dijera el Señor.
22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 El esposo es cabeza de la esposa del mismo modo que Cristo es la cabeza de la iglesia, así como su cuerpo y salvador.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
24 Del mismo modo que la iglesia hace lo que Cristo dice, las esposas deben hacer lo que sus esposos les dicen en todo.
24 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Esposos, amen a sus esposas de la misma manera que Cristo amó a la iglesia y se entregó por ella.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her,
26 Él la santificó, la limpió al lavarse en el agua del mundo,
26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
27 así pudo apropiarse de la iglesia, sin ningún defecto o mancha, sino santa e irreprochable.
27 that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without defect.
28 Los esposos deben amar a sus esposas de esta manera, así como aman sus propios cuerpos. Un hombre que ama a su esposa se ama a sí mismo,
28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
29 pues nunca nadie aborrece su propio cuerpo, sino que lo alimenta y lo cuida, así como Cristo lo hace por la iglesia,
29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly,
30 pues nosotros somos partes de su cuerpo.
30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
31 “Es por esto que un hombre deja a su padre y a su madre, y se une a su esposa, y los dos se unen, siendo ahora uno solo”.
31 “For this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife. Then the two will become one flesh.”
32 Esta es una verdad profunda oculta, pero hablo de Cristo y de la iglesia.
32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and the assembly.
33 Sin embargo, cada esposo debe amar a su propia esposa como a sí mismo, y la esposa debe respetar a su esposo.
33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

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).
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.

… 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."
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 …

… 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.
