Ephesians 5

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