| Eph. 5:1 |
Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; |
| Eph. 5:2 |
And 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 savor. |
| Eph. 5:3 |
But fornication and all uncleanness or greediness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints, |
| Eph. 5:4 |
And obscenity and foolish talking or sly, filthy jesting, which are not becoming, but rather the giving of thanks. |
| Eph. 5:5 |
For this you realize, knowing that every fornicator or unclean person or greedy person (who is an idolater) has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. |
| Eph. 5:6 |
Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. |
| Eph. 5:7 |
Therefore do not be partakers with them; |
| Eph. 5:8 |
For you were once darkness but are now light in the Lord; walk as children of light |
| Eph. 5:9 |
(For the fruit of the light [consists] in all goodness and righteousness and truth), |
| Eph. 5:10 |
Proving what is well pleasing to the Lord. |
| Eph. 5:11 |
And do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove [them]. |
| Eph. 5:12 |
For the things which are done by them in secret it is shameful even to speak of. |
| Eph. 5:13 |
But all things which are reproved are made manifest by the light; for everything that makes manifest is light. |
| Eph. 5:14 |
Therefore He says, Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. |
| Eph. 5:15 |
Look therefore carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, |
| Eph. 5:16 |
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
| Eph. 5:17 |
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. |
| Eph. 5:18 |
And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in spirit, |
| Eph. 5:19 |
Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and psalming with your heart to the Lord, |
| Eph. 5:20 |
Giving thanks at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to [our] God and Father, |
| Eph. 5:21 |
Being subject to one another in the fear of Christ: |
| Eph. 5:22 |
Wives, [be] [subject] to your own husbands as to the Lord; |
| Eph. 5:23 |
For a husband is head of the wife as also Christ is Head of the church, He Himself [being] the Savior of the Body. |
| Eph. 5:24 |
But as the church is subject to Christ, so also [let] the wives [be subject] to their husbands in everything. |
| Eph. 5:25 |
Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her |
| Eph. 5:26 |
That He might sanctify her, cleansing [her] by the washing of the water in the word, |
| Eph. 5:27 |
That He might present the church to Himself glorious, not having spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that she would be holy and without blemish. |
| Eph. 5:28 |
In the same way the husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his own wife loves himself. |
| Eph. 5:29 |
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also the church, |
| Eph. 5:30 |
Because we are members of His Body. |
| Eph. 5:31 |
For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. |
| Eph. 5:32 |
This mystery is great, but I speak with regard to Christ and the church. |
| Eph. 5:33 |
Nevertheless you also, each one of you, in the same way love your own wife as yourself; and the wife should fear her husband. |
