نامۀ پولُس رسول به اِفِسُسیان

فصل پنجم

زندگی در نور

۱ پس مانند فرزندانِ عزیز خدا، از او پیروی کنید. ۲ با محبت زندگی نمایید، همان گونه که عیسای مسیح به ما محبت نمود و جان خود را برای ما به عنوان قربانی و هدیه ای خوشبو به خدا تقدیم کرد.

۳ مبادا که در میان شما چیزی دربارۀ فساد جنسی و ناپاکی های دیگر و خودخواهی وجود داشته باشد، زیرا اینها شایستۀ ایمانداران نیست. ۴ شایسته نیست که سخنان زشت و بی معنی به کار ببرید، بلکه به جای آن بهتر است خدا را شکر کنید. ۵ یقین داشته باشید کسی که مرتکب فساد جنسی، ناپاکی و طمعکاری گردد، در پادشاهی مسیح و خدا سهمی نخواهد داشت زیرا طمعکاری یک نوع بُت پرستی است.

۶ متوجه باشید که کسی با دلایل بی معنای خود شما را فریب ندهد، زیرا غضب خدا بر مردمی که فرمانبردار او نیستند، نازل می شود. ۷ پس با چنین اشخاص کاری نداشته باشید. ۸ شما زمانی در تاریکی بودید اما اکنون در نور خداوند زندگی می کنید. پس رفتار شما باید مانند فرزندان نور باشد ۹ زیرا هر نوع خوبی، عدالت و حقیقت، ثمرۀ نور خدا می باشد. ۱۰ کوشش کنید تا بفهمید که چه چیزی مایۀ خوشنودی خداوند می گردد. ۱۱ در کارهای بی ثمر تاریکی شریک نباشید، بلکه آنها را افشا سازید. ۱۲ زیرا حتی یادآوری کارهایی که آنها به طور پنهانی انجام می دهند، مایۀ شرمساری است. ۱۳ اما هرگاه چیزی در مقابل نور قرار گیرد، کاملاً آشکار می شود، ۱۴ زیرا این نور است که همه چیز را آشکار می سازد. به آن سبب است که می گویند:

«ای که در خوابی، بیدار شو،

از میان مُرده گان برخیز،

و مسیح بر تو خواهد درخشید.»

۱۵ پس خوب دقت کنید که چگونه زندگی می کنید، مانند مردمِ نادان نباشید بلکه مانند اشخاص دانا زندگی کنید. ۱۶ از هر فُرصتی به شکل خوب استفاده کنید، زیرا این روزگار، زمانۀ شریر است. ۱۷ پس نادان نباشید بلکه درک کنید که ارادۀ خداوند چیست.

۱۸ مست شراب نشوید، زیرا شراب شما را به سوی عیاشی می کشاند، بلکه از روح مقدس پُر شوید. ۱۹ با حمد و ستایش و خواندن مزامیر و سرودهای روحانی با همدیگر مشارکت داشته باشید و از صمیم قلب برای خداوند سرود بسرایید. ۲۰ همیشه برای همه چیز خدای پدر را به نام سَروَر ما عیسای مسیح شکر کنید.

روابط زن و شوهر

۲۱ با احترام به مسیح، از همدیگر اطاعت کنید. ۲۲ ای زنان، از شوهران خود چنان اطاعت کنید که از سَروَر ما عیسای مسیح اطاعت می کنید. ۲۳ زیرا همان طوری که مسیح سَر و نجات دهندۀ کلیسا یعنی بدن خود می باشد، شوهر نیز سَر خانم خود می باشد ۲۴ و چنان که کلیسا از مسیح اطاعت می کند، زنان نیز در هر مورد باید از شوهران خود اطاعت کنند.

۲۵ ای شوهران، زنان خود را چنان دوست داشته باشید که مسیح کلیسا را دوست داشت و جان خود را برای آن فدا کرد. ۲۶ او چنین کرد تا کلیسا را با آب و کلام شُسته و آن را پاک و مقدس گرداند ۲۷ و کلیسا را با تمام زیبایی اش کاملاً مقدس، بدون لکه، چین خورده گی و هر عیب دیگری به خود تقدیم نماید. ۲۸ مردان باید همان طوری که بدن خود را دوست دارند، زنان خود را دوست داشته باشند، زیرا مردی که زن خود را دوست می دارد، خود را دوست دارد. ۲۹ هیچ کس هرگز از بدن خود نفرت نداشته بلکه به آن غذا داده و از آن مراقبت می کند، یعنی همان کاری که مسیح برای کلیسا می کند ۳۰ زیرا ما اعضای بدن او هستیم. ۳۱ از همین خاطر خدا در تورات فرموده است: «به همین دلیل مرد، پدر و مادر خود را مانده با زن خود می پیوندد و هر دو یک تن می شوند.» ۳۲ در این آیت یک راز بزرگ نهفته است اما من به مسیح و کلیسای او اشاره می کنم. ۳۳ به هر حال هر یک از شما در زندگی شخصی تان، چنان زن خود را دوست بدارید که خود را دوست می دارید، همین گونه هر زن باید شوهر خود را احترام کند.

The Tongue

The Tongue (With You)
An uncontrolled tongue is like a fire under ashes, which has destructive power—like a dormant fire that slowly burns and destroys its surroundings and turns everything into ashes. The tongue has enormous power. A small word can build our family and friends. But if our tongue is not under control, it will tear apart our family and friends. A tongue that is not under control is easily used by Satan.

Girls in Black Veils in Society

Girls in Black Veils in Society (With You)
Women and girls shouldn’t wear black veils, darkening their world because of men’s lack of self-control. It is a man’s moral responsibility to have self-control. Men, particularly Taliban or Mujahideen, who claim, “We are fighting in God’s way”, should control their own eyes and ears. They should not give in to their sinful nature when they see a woman’s hair or simply hear the clicking of a lady’s high heels. Human beings are the highest form of God’s creation. We should not be like animals that cannot control themselves when they see the opposite sex.

Woman, Suitable Companion

Woman, Suitable Companion (With You)
God called every part of his creation good, but suddenly he said that one thing was not good: "It is not good that man should be alone". The man he created was not perfect in some way. He needed a suitable companion. In what sense could a woman be a suitable companion? First of all, Adam needed a companion to have children in the future. Second, all men need someone they can share their hearts with. Therefore, a man needs someone who is like him. Third, man needed someone to complete and complement him, someone who would make up for his shortcomings. In God’s eyes, man and woman are equal, but he created man for one purpose and woman for another purpose.

To be at home and do the housework. This woman expresses her heartache: "When I tell my father, my mother and even my husband I have to work and have to work hard to earn a living and to make a living, they say, 'What do you need for a living?' The woman works out of the house, when you need to work out of the house that doesn't work, now that everything's up to you and you don't need to work out. They are not girls. They either have intellectual problems or they have financial problems and their relatives are relentless families who let them work out. "
