| 5:1 |
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
|
| 5:2 |
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 sweet-smelling savor.
|
| 5:3 |
But lewdness and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
|
| 5:4 |
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
|
| 5:5 |
For this ye know, that no lewd, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
|
| 5:6 |
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
|
| 5:7 |
Be ye not therefore partakers with them.
|
| 5:8 |
For ye were sometime darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light;
|
| 5:9 |
(For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth;)
|
| 5:10 |
Proving what is acceptable to the Lord.
|
| 5:11 |
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].
|
| 5:12 |
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
|
| 5:13 |
But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light.
|
| 5:14 |
Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light.
|
| 5:15 |
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
|
| 5:16 |
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
|
| 5:17 |
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].
|
| 5:18 |
And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
|
| 5:19 |
Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
|
| 5:20 |
Giving thanks always for all things to God and the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
|
| 5:21 |
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
|
| 5:22 |
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
|
| 5:23 |
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Savior of the body.
|
| 5:24 |
Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.
|
| 5:25 |
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
|
| 5:26 |
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
|
| 5:27 |
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.
|
| 5:28 |
So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
|
| 5:29 |
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
|
| 5:30 |
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
|
| 5:31 |
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
|
| 5:32 |
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
|
| 5:33 |
Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself: and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.
