EPH-5:1  Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

EPH-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 sweetsmelling

savour.

EPH-5:3  But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness,

let it not be

once named among you, as becometh saints;

EPH-5:4  Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting,

which are not

convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

EPH-5:5  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.

EPH-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.

EPH-5:7  Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

EPH-5:8  For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light

in the Lord:

walk as children of light:

EPH-5:9  (For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and

righteousness

and truth;)

EPH-5:10  Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

EPH-5:11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of

darkness, but

rather reprove [them].

EPH-5:12  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which

are done of

them in secret.

EPH-5:13  But all things that are reproved are made manifest by

the light: for

whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

EPH-5:14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and

arise from the

dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

EPH-5:15  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but

as wise,

EPH-5:16  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

EPH-5:17  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the

will of the

Lord [is].

EPH-5:18  And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be

filled with the

Spirit;

EPH-5:19  Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and

spiritual songs,

singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

EPH-5:20  Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the

Father in the

name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

EPH-5:21  Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of

God.

EPH-5:22  Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as

unto the Lord.

EPH-5:23  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.

EPH-5:24  Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so

[let] the wives

[be] to their own husbands in every thing.

EPH-5:25  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved

the church, and

gave himself for it;

EPH-5:26  That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing

of water by

the word,

EPH-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.

EPH-5:28  So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.

He that loveth

his wife loveth himself.

EPH-5:29  For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but

nourisheth and

cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

EPH-5:30  For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of

his bones.

EPH-5:31  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.

EPH-5:32  This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ

and the

church.

EPH-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.
