PT1904 Texto Patriarcal 1904 (acentuado, edición de eBible)
1 Let it then be your desire to be like God, as well-loved children;
1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
1 Γίνεσθε οὖν μιμηταὶ τοῦ Θεοῦ ὡς τέκνα ἀγαπητά,
2 And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.
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.
2 καὶ περιπατεῖτε ἐν ἀγάπῃ, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς καὶ παρέδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν προσφορὰν καὶ θυσίαν τῷ Θεῷ εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας.
3 But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;
3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
3 πορνεία δὲ καὶ πᾶσα ἀκαθαρσία ἢ πλεονεξία μηδὲ ὀνομαζέσθω ἐν ὑμῖν, καθὼς πρέπει ἁγίοις,
4 And let there be no low behaviour, or foolish talk, or words said in sport, which are not right, but in place of them the giving of praise.
4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.
4 καὶ αἰσχρότης καὶ μωρολογία ἢ εὐτραπελία, τὰ οὐκ ἀνήκοντα, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εὐχαριστία.
5 Being certain of this, that no man who gives way to the passions of the flesh, no unclean person, or one who has desire for the property of others, or who gives worship to images, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and God.
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.
5 τοῦτο γάρ ἐστε γινώσκοντες, ὅτι πᾶς πόρνος ἢ ἀκάθαρτος ἢ πλεονέκτης, ὅς ἐστιν εἰδωλολάτρης, οὐκ ἔχει κληρονομίαν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ Θεοῦ.
6 Do not be turned from the right way by foolish words; for because of these things the punishment of God comes on those who do not put themselves under him.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
6 Μηδεὶς ὑμᾶς ἀπατάτω κενοῖς λόγοις· διὰ ταῦτα γὰρ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας.
7 Have no part with such men;
7 Therefore don’t be partakers with them.
7 μὴ οὖν γίνεσθε συμμέτοχοι αὐτῶν.
8 For you at one time were dark, but now are light in the Lord: let your behaviour be that of children of light
8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
8 ἦτε γάρ ποτε σκότος, νῦν δὲ φῶς ἐν Κυρίῳ· ὡς τέκνα φωτὸς περιπατεῖτε· —
9 (Because the fruit of the light is in all righteousness and in everything which is good and true),
9 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
9 ὁ γὰρ καρπὸς τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐν πάσῃ ἀγαθωσύνῃ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ· —
10 Testing by experience what is well-pleasing to the Lord;
10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
10 δοκιμάζοντες τί ἐστιν εὐάρεστον τῷ Κυρίῳ.
11 And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;
11 Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
11 καὶ μὴ συγκοινωνεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς ἀκάρποις τοῦ σκότους, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε·
12 For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.
12 τὰ γὰρ κρυφῆ γινόμενα ὑπ᾽ αὐτῶν αἰσχρόν ἐστι καὶ λέγειν·
13 But all things, when their true quality is seen, are made clear by the light: because everything which is made clear is light.
13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
13 τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐλεγχόμενα ὑπὸ τοῦ φωτὸς φανεροῦται· πᾶν γὰρ τὸ φανερούμενον φῶς ἐστι.
14 For this reason he says, Be awake, you who are sleeping, and come up from among the dead, and Christ will be your light.
14 Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
14 διὸ λέγει· ἔγειρε ὁ καθεύδων καὶ ἀνάστα ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ἐπιφαύσει σοι ὁ Χριστός.
15 Take care then how you are living, not as unwise, but as wise;
15 Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise,
15 Βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκριβῶς περιπατεῖτε, μὴ ὡς ἄσοφοι, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς σοφοί,
16 Making good use of the time, because the days are evil.
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
16 ἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν, ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσι.
17 For this reason, then, do not be foolish, but be conscious of the Lord's pleasure.
17 Therefore, don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
17 διὰ τοῦτο μὴ γίνεσθε ἄφρονες, ἀλλὰ συνιέντες τί τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Κυρίου.
18 And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;
18 Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
18 καὶ μὴ μεθύσκεσθε οἴνῳ, ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἀσωτία, ἀλλὰ πληροῦσθε ἐν Πνεύματι,
19 Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
19 λαλοῦντες ἑαυτοῖς ψαλμοῖς καὶ ὕμνοις καὶ ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς, ᾄδοντες καὶ ψάλλοντες ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν τῷ Κυρίῳ,
20 Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
20 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
20 εὐχαριστοῦντες πάντοτε ὑπὲρ πάντων ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῷ Θεῷ καὶ πατρί,
21 Letting yourselves be ruled by one another in the fear of Christ.
21 subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.
21 ὑποτασσόμενοι ἀλλήλοις ἐν φόβῳ Χριστοῦ.
22 Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as of the Lord.
22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
22 Αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ὑποτάσσεσθε ὡς τῷ Κυρίῳ,
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.
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.
23 ὅτι [ὁ] ἀνήρ ἐστι κεφαλὴ τῆς γυναικός, ὡς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς κεφαλὴ τῆς ἐκκλησίας, καὶ αὐτός ἐστι σωτὴρ τοῦ σώματος.
24 And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things.
24 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
24 ἀλλ᾽ ὥσπερ ἡ ἐκκλησία ὑποτάσσεται τῷ Χριστῷ, οὕτω καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ἐν παντί.
25 Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her,
25 οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶτε τὰς γυναῖκας ἑαυτῶν, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησε τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ ἑαυτὸν παρέδωκεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς,
26 So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,
26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
26 ἵνα αὐτὴν ἁγιάσῃ καθαρίσας τῷ λουτρῷ τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν ῥήματι,
27 And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.
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.
27 ἵνα παραστήσῃ αὐτὴν ἑαυτῷ ἔνδοξον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, μὴ ἔχουσαν σπίλον ἢ ῥυτίδα ἤ τι τῶν τοιούτων, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ ἄμωμος.
28 Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:
28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
28 οὕτως ὀφείλουσιν οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶν τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖκας ὡς τὰ ἑαυτῶν σώματα. ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα ἑαυτὸν ἀγαπᾷ·
29 For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;
29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly,
29 οὐδεὶς γάρ ποτε τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σάρκα ἐμίσησεν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκτρέφει καὶ θάλπει αὐτήν, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Κύριος τὴν ἐκκλησίαν·
30 Because we are parts of his body.
30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
30 ὅτι μέλη ἐσμὲν τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ, ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτοῦ·
31 For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
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.”
31 ἀντὶ τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ προσκολληθήσεται πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν.
32 This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church.
32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and the assembly.
32 τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο μέγα ἐστίν, ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω εἰς Χριστὸν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν.
33 But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.
33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
33 πλὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς οἱ καθ᾽ ἕνα ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα οὕτως ἀγαπάτω ὡς ἑαυτόν, ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἵνα φοβῆται τὸν ἄνδρα.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
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.
