Ephesians 5:1
|
Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;
|
|
Ephesians 5:2
|
and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.
|
|
Ephesians 5:3
|
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
|
|
Ephesians 5:4
|
nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
|
|
Ephesians 5:5
|
For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
|
|
Ephesians 5:6
|
Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.
|
|
Ephesians 5:7
|
Be not ye therefore partakers with them;
|
|
Ephesians 5:8
|
For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
|
|
Ephesians 5:9
|
(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
|
|
Ephesians 5:10
|
proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;
|
|
Ephesians 5:11
|
and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;
|
|
Ephesians 5:12
|
for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of.
|
|
Ephesians 5:13
|
But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
|
|

Wherefore [he] saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

|
Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
|
|

|
And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;
|
|
Ephesians 5:19
|
speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
|
|
Ephesians 5:20
|
giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
|
|
Ephesians 5:21
|
subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
|
|
Ephesians 5:22
|
Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
|
|
Ephesians 5:23
|
For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, [being] himself the saviour of the body.
|
|

|
But as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything.
|
|
Ephesians 5:25
|
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
|
|
Ephesians 5:26
|
that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
|
|
Ephesians 5:27
|
that he might present the church to himself a glorious [church], not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
|
|
Ephesians 5:28
|
Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:
|
|
Ephesians 5:29
|
for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;
|
|
Ephesians 5:30
|
because we are members of his body.
|
|
Ephesians 5:31
|
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.
|
|

|
This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.
|
|
Ephesians 5:33
|
Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and [let] the wife [see] that she fear her husband.
