Ephesians 5

  1. Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 🔗
  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. 🔗
  3. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 🔗
  4. Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  6. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 🔗
  7. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 🔗
  8. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 🔗
  9. (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 🔗
  10. Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 🔗
  11. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 🔗
  12. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 🔗
  13. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 🔗
  14. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 🔗
  15. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 🔗
  16. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 🔗
  17. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 🔗
  18. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 🔗
  19. Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 🔗
  20. Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 🔗
  21. Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 🔗
  22. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  24. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 🔗
  25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 🔗
  26. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 🔗
  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. 🔗
  28. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 🔗
  29. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 🔗
  30. For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  32. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 🔗
  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. 🔗
