BE ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

Γίνεσθε οὖν μιμηταὶ τοῦ Θεοῦ ὡς τέκνα ἀγαπητά,

[Заⷱ҇ 228] Быва́йте ᲂу҆̀бо подража́телє бг҃ꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже ча̑да возлю́блєннаѧ,

2

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

καὶ περιπατεῖτε ἐν ἀγάπῃ, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς καὶ παρέδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν προσφορὰν καὶ θυσίαν τῷ Θεῷ εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας.

и҆ ходи́те въ любвѝ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ хрⷭ҇то́съ возлюби́лъ є҆́сть на́съ, и҆ предадѐ себѐ за ны̀ приноше́нїе и҆ же́ртвꙋ бг҃ꙋ въ воню̀ благоꙋха́нїѧ.

3

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

πορνεία δὲ καὶ πᾶσα ἀκαθαρσία ἢ πλεονεξία μηδὲ ὀνομαζέσθω ἐν ὑμῖν, καθὼς πρέπει ἁγίοις,

Блꙋ́дъ же и҆ всѧ́ка нечистота̀ и҆ лихои́мство нижѐ да и҆менꙋ́етсѧ въ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́коже подоба́етъ ст҃ы̑мъ:

4

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

καὶ αἰσχρότης καὶ μωρολογία ἢ εὐτραπελία, τὰ οὐκ ἀνήκοντα, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εὐχαριστία.

и҆ скверносло́вїе, и҆ бꙋесло́вїе, и҆лѝ кощꙋ́ны, ꙗ҆̀же неподѡ́бнаѧ, но па́че благодаре́нїе:

5

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

τοῦτο γάρ ἐστε γινώσκοντες, ὅτι πᾶς πόρνος ἢ ἀκάθαρτος ἢ πλεονέκτης, ὅς ἐστιν εἰδωλολάτρης, οὐκ ἔχει κληρονομίαν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ Θεοῦ.

сїе́ бо да вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́къ блꙋдни́къ, и҆лѝ нечи́стъ, и҆лѝ лихои́мецъ, и҆́же є҆́сть і҆дѡлослꙋжи́тель, не и҆́мать достоѧ́нїѧ въ црⷭ҇твїи хрⷭ҇та̀ и҆ бг҃а.

6

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

μηδεὶς ὑμᾶς ἀπατάτω κενοῖς λόγοις· διὰ ταῦτα γὰρ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας.

Никто́же ва́съ да льсти́тъ сꙋ́етными словесы̀, си́хъ бо ра́ди грѧде́тъ гнѣ́въ бж҃їй на сы́ны непокори̑выѧ.

7

Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

μὴ οὖν γίνεσθε συμμέτοχοι αὐτῶν.

Не быва́йте ᲂу҆̀бо соприча̑стницы си̑мъ.

8

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Ἦτε γάρ ποτε σκότος, νῦν δὲ φῶς ἐν Κυρίῳ· ὡς τέκνα φωτὸς περιπατεῖτε· –

Бѣ́сте бо и҆ногда̀ тьма̀, нн҃ѣ же свѣ́тъ ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ: [Заⷱ҇ 229] ꙗ҆́коже ча̑да свѣ́та ходи́те:

9

(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

ὁ γὰρ καρπὸς τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐν πάσῃ ἀγαθωσύνῃ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ·

пло́дъ бо дх҃о́вный є҆́сть во всѧ́цѣй бл҃госты́ни и҆ пра́вдѣ и҆ и҆́стинѣ:

10

Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

δοκιμάζοντες τί ἐστιν εὐάρεστον τῷ Κυρίῳ.

и҆скꙋша́юще, что̀ є҆́сть бл҃гоꙋго́дно бг҃ови:

11

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

καὶ μὴ συγκοινωνεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς ἀκάρποις τοῦ σκότους, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε·

и҆ не приѡбща́йтесѧ къ дѣлѡ́мъ неплѡ́днымъ тьмы̀, па́че же и҆ ѡ҆блича́йте.

12

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

τὰ γὰρ κρυφῆ γινόμενα ὑπ’ αὐτῶν αἰσχρόν ἐστι καὶ λέγειν·

Быва́ємаѧ бо ѡ҆́тай ѿ ни́хъ, сра́мно є҆́сть и҆ глаго́лати.

13

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐλεγχόμενα ὑπὸ τοῦ φωτὸς φανεροῦται· πᾶν γὰρ τὸ φανερούμενον φῶς ἐστι.

Всѧ̑ же ѡ҆блича́ємаѧ ѿ свѣ́та ꙗ҆влѧ́ютсѧ, все́ бо ꙗ҆влѧ́емое свѣ́тъ є҆́сть:

14

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

διὸ λέγει· ἔγειρε ὁ καθεύδων καὶ ἀνάστα ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ἐπιφαύσει σοι ὁ Χριστός.

сегѡ̀ ра́ди глаго́летъ: воста́ни, спѧ́й, и҆ воскреснѝ ѿ ме́ртвыхъ, и҆ ѡ҆свѣти́тъ тѧ̀ хрⷭ҇то́съ.

15

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

Βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκριβῶς περιπατεῖτε, μὴ ὡς ἄσοφοι, ἀλλ’ ὡς σοφοί,

Блюди́те ᲂу҆̀бо, ка́кѡ ѡ҆па́снѡ хо́дите, не ꙗ҆́коже немꙋ́дри, но ꙗ҆́коже премꙋ́дри,

16

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

ἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν, ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσι.

и҆скꙋпꙋ́юще вре́мѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ дні́е лꙋка́ви сꙋ́ть.

17

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

διὰ τοῦτο μὴ γίνεσθε ἄφρονες, ἀλλὰ συνιέντες τί τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Κυρίου.

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди не быва́йте несмы́сленни, но разꙋмѣва́йте, что̀ є҆́сть во́лѧ бж҃їѧ.

18

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

καὶ μὴ μεθύσκεσθε οἴνῳ, ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἀσωτία, ἀλλὰ πληροῦσθε ἐν Πνεύματι,

И҆ не ᲂу҆пива́йтесѧ вїно́мъ, въ не́мже є҆́сть блꙋ́дъ: но па́че и҆сполнѧ́йтесѧ дх҃омъ,

19

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

λαλοῦντες ἑαυτοῖς ψαλμοῖς καὶ ὕμνοις καὶ ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς, ᾄδοντες καὶ ψάλλοντες ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν τῷ Κυρίῳ,

глаго́люще себѣ̀ во ѱалмѣ́хъ и҆ пѣ́нїихъ и҆ пѣ́снехъ дꙋхо́вныхъ, воспѣва́юще и҆ пою́ще въ сердца́хъ ва́шихъ гдⷭ҇еви,

20

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

εὐχαριστοῦντες πάντοτε ὑπὲρ πάντων ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῷ Θεῷ καὶ πατρί,

[Заⷱ҇ 230] благодарѧ́ще всегда̀ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ ѡ҆ и҆́мени гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ бг҃ꙋ и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀,

21

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

ὑποτασσόμενοι ἀλλήλοις ἐν φόβῳ Χριστοῦ.

повинꙋ́ющесѧ дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́гꙋ въ стра́сѣ бж҃їи.

22

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ὑποτάσσεσθε ὡς τῷ Κυρίῳ,

Жєны̀, свои̑мъ мꙋжє́мъ повинꙋ́йтесѧ, ꙗ҆́коже гдⷭ҇ꙋ,

23

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

ὅτι ὁ ἀνήρ ἐστι κεφαλὴ τῆς γυναικός, ὡς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς κεφαλὴ τῆς ἐκκλησίας, καὶ αὐτός ἐστι σωτὴρ τοῦ σώματος.

занѐ мꙋ́жъ глава̀ є҆́сть жены̀, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ хрⷭ҇то́съ глава̀ цр҃кве, и҆ то́й є҆́сть сп҃си́тель тѣ́ла:

24

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

ἀλλ’ ὥσπερ ἡ ἐκκλησία ὑποτάσσεται τῷ Χριστῷ, οὕτω καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ἐν παντί.

но ꙗ҆́коже цр҃ковь повинꙋ́етсѧ хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀, та́кожде и҆ жєны̀ свои̑мъ мꙋжє́мъ во все́мъ.

25

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶτε τὰς γυναῖκας ἑαυτῶν, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησε τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ ἑαυτὸν παρέδωκεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς,

[Заⷱ҇ 231] Мꙋ́жїе, люби́те своѧ̑ жєны̀, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ хрⷭ҇то́съ возлюбѝ цр҃ковь, и҆ себѐ предадѐ за ню̀,

26

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

ἵνα αὐτὴν ἁγιάσῃ καθαρίσας τῷ λουτρῷ τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν ρήματι,

да ѡ҆ст҃и́тъ ю҆̀, ѡ҆чⷭ҇тивъ ба́нею водно́ю въ гл҃го́лѣ:

27

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

ἵνα παραστήσῃ αὐτὴν ἑαυτῷ ἔνδοξον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, μὴ ἔχουσαν σπίλον ἢ ρυτίδα ἤ τι τῶν τοιούτων, ἀλλ’ ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ ἄμωμος.

да предста́витъ ю҆̀ себѣ̀ сла́внꙋ цр҃ковь, не и҆мꙋ́щꙋ скве́рны, и҆лѝ поро́ка, и҆лѝ нѣ́что ѿ таковы́хъ, но да бꙋ́детъ ст҃а и҆ непоро́чна.

28

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

οὕτως ὀφείλουσιν οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶν τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖκας ὡς τὰ ἑαυτῶν σώματα. ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα ἑαυτὸν ἀγαπᾷ·

Та́кѡ до́лжни сꙋ́ть мꙋ́жїе люби́ти своѧ̑ жєны̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ своѧ̑ тѣлеса̀: любѧ́й (бо) свою̀ женꙋ̀, себѐ сама́го лю́битъ.

29

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

οὐδεὶς γάρ ποτε τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σάρκα ἐμίσησεν, ἀλλ’ ἐκτρέφει καὶ θάλπει αὐτήν, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Κύριος τὴν ἐκκλησίαν·

Никто́же бо когда̀ свою̀ пло́ть возненави́дѣ, но пита́етъ и҆ грѣ́етъ ю҆̀, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ гдⷭ҇ь цр҃ковь:

30

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

ὅτι μέλη ἐσμὲν τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ, ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτοῦ·

занѐ ᲂу҆́ди є҆смы̀ тѣ́ла є҆гѡ̀, ѿ пл҃ти є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ѿ косте́й є҆гѡ̀.

31

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

ἀντὶ τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ προσκολληθήσεται πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν.

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѡ҆ста́витъ человѣ́къ ѻ҆тца̀ своего̀ и҆ ма́терь, и҆ прилѣпи́тсѧ къ женѣ̀ свое́й, и҆ бꙋ́дета два̀ въ пло́ть є҆ди́нꙋ.

32

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο μέγα ἐστίν, ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω εἰς Χριστὸν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν.

Та́йна сїѧ̀ велика̀ є҆́сть: а҆́зъ же глаго́лю во хрⷭ҇та̀ и҆ во цр҃ковь.

33

Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

πλὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς οἱ καθ’ ἕνα ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα οὕτως ἀγαπάτω ὡς ἑαυτόν, ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἵνα φοβῆται τὸν ἄνδρα.

[Заⷱ҇ 232] Ѻ҆ба́че и҆ вы̀, по є҆ди́номꙋ кі́йждо свою̀ женꙋ̀ си́це да лю́битъ, ꙗ҆́коже (и҆) себѐ: а҆ жена̀ да бои́тсѧ (своегѡ̀) мꙋ́жа.
