Ephesians 5
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children; | Estote ergo imitatores Dei, sicut filii carissimi, |
| 2 | And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness. | et ambulate in dilectione, sicut et Christus dilexit nos, et tradidit semetipsum pro nobis, oblationem et hostiam Deo in odorem suavitatis. |
| 3 | But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints: | Fornicatio autem, et omnis immunditia, aut avaritia, nec nominetur in vobis, sicut decet sanctos: |
| 4 | Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks. | aut turpitudo, aut stultiloquium, aut scurrilitas, quae ad rem non pertinet: sed magis gratiarum actio. |
| 5 | For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. | Hoc enim scitote intelligentes: quod omnis fornicator, aut immundus, aut avarus, quod est idolorum servitus, non habet haereditatem in regno Christi et Dei. |
| 6 | Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. | Nemo vos seducat inanibus verbis: propter haec enim venit ira Dei in filios diffidentiae. |
| 7 | Be ye not therefore partakers with them. | Nolite ergo effici participes eorum. |
| 8 | For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light. | Eratis enim aliquando tenebrae: nunc autem lux in Domino. Ut filii lucis ambulate: |
| 9 | For the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth; | fructus enim lucis est in omni bonitate, et iustitia, et veritate: |
| 10 | Proving what is well pleasing to God: | probantes quid sit beneplacitum Deo: |
| 11 | And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. | et nolite communicare operibus infructuosis tenebrarum, magis autem redarguite. |
| 12 | For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. | Quae enim in occulto fiunt ab ipsis, turpe est et dicere. |
| 13 | But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light. | Omnia autem, quae arguuntur, a lumine manifestantur: omne enim, quod manifestatur, lumen est. |
| 14 | Wherefore he saith: Rise thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee. | Propter quod dicit: Surge qui dormis, et exsurge a mortuis, et illuminabit te Christus. |
| 15 | See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise, | Videte itaque, fratres, quomodo caute ambuletis: non quasi insipientes, |
| 16 | But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil. | sed ut sapientes: redimentes tempus, quoniam dies mali sunt. |
| 17 | Wherefore become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God. | Propterea nolite fieri imprudentes, sed intelligentes quae sit voluntas Dei. |
| 18 | And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury; but be ye filled with the holy Spirit, | Et nolite inebriari vino, in quo est luxuria, sed implemini Spiritu Sancto, |
| 19 | Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord; | loquentes vobismetipsis in psalmis, et hymnis, et canticis spiritualibus, cantantes et psallentes in cordibus vestris Domino, |
| 20 | Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father: | gratias agentes semper pro omnibus in nomine Domini nostri Iesu Christi Deo et Patri, |
| 21 | Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ. | subiecti invicem in timore Christi. |
| 22 | Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord: | Mulieres viris suis subditae sint, sicut Domino: |
| 23 | Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body. | quoniam vir caput est mulieris, sicut Christus caput est Ecclesiae: ipse, salvator corporis eius. |
| 24 | Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things. | Sed sicut Ecclesia subiecta est Christo, ita et mulieres viris suis in omnibus. |
| 25 | Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it: | Viri, diligite uxores vestras, sicut et Christus dilexit Ecclesiam, et seipsum tradidit pro ea, |
| 26 | That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life: | ut illam sanctificaret, mundans lavacro aquae in verbo vitae, |
| 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. | ut exhiberet ipse sibi gloriosam Ecclesiam, non habentem maculam, aut rugam, aut aliquid huiusmodi, sed ut sit sancta et immaculata. |
| 28 | So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. | Ita et viri debent diligere uxores suas ut corpora sua. Qui suam uxorem diligit, seipsum diligit. |
| 29 | For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church: | Nemo enim umquam carnem suam odio habuit: sed nutrit et fovet eam, sicut et Christus Ecclesiam: |
| 30 | Because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. | quia membra sumus corporis eius, de carne eius et de ossibus eius. |
| 31 | For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh. | Propter hoc relinquet homo patrem et matrem suam, et adhaerebit uxori suae, et erunt duo in carne una. |
| 32 | This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church. | Sacramentum hoc magnum est, ego autem dico in Christo et in Ecclesia. |
| 33 | Nevertheless let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: and let the wife fear her husband. | Verumtamen et vos singuli, unusquisque uxorem suam sicut seipsum diligat: uxor autem timeat virum suum. |
