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