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. |
|
|
|
Ephesians 5:14
|
|
Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee. |
|
|
|
Ephesians 5:15
|
|
Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as
unwise, but as wise; |
|
|
|
Ephesians 5:16
|
|
redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
|
|
|
|
Ephesians 5:17
|
|
Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand
what the will of the Lord is. |
|
|
|
Ephesians 5:18
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Ephesians 5:24
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Ephesians 5:32
|
|
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.
