[1]Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children, |
| [No book] |
[2]And walk in love, even as Christ hath loved us, and hath given himself for us, to be an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savor to God. |
| [No book] |
[3]But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as it becometh Saints, |
| [No book] |
[4]Neither filthiness, neither foolish talking, neither jesting, which are things not comely, but rather giving of thanks. |
| [No book] |
[5]For this ye know, that no whoremonger, neither unclean person, nor covetous person, which is an idolator, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God. |
| [No book] |
[6]Let no man deceive you with vain words: for from such things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. |
| [No book] |
[7]Be not therefore companions with them. |
| [No book] |
[8]For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light, |
| [No book] |
[9](For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth) |
| [No book] |
[10]Approving that which is pleasing to the Lord. |
| [No book] |
[11]And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but even reprove them rather. |
| [No book] |
[12]For it is shame even to speak of the things which are done of them in secret. |
| [No book] |
[13]But all things when they are reproved of the light, are manifest: for it is light that maketh all things manifest. |
| [No book] |
[14]Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and stand up from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. |
| [No book] |
[15]Take heed therefore that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, |
| [No book] |
[16]Redeeming the time: for the days are evil. |
| [No book] |
[17]Wherefore, be ye not unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. |
| [No book] |
[18]And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be fulfilled with the Spirit, |
| [No book] |
[19]Speaking unto yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing, and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, |
| [No book] |
[20]Giving thanks always for all things unto God even the Father, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| [No book] |
[21]Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. |
| [No book] |
[22]Â Wife's, submit yourselves unto your husbands, as unto the Lord. |
| [No book] |
[23]For the husband is the wives head, even as Christ is the head of the Church, and the same is the savior of his body. |
| [No book] |
[24]Therefore as the Church is in subjection to Christ, even so let the wives be to their husbands in every thing. |
| [No book] |
[25]Â Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the Church, and gave himself for it, |
| [No book] |
[26]That he might sanctify it, and cleanse it by the washing of water through the word, |
| [No book] |
[27]That he might make it unto himself a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame. |
| [No book] |
[28]So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself. |
| [No book] |
[29]For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord doth the Church. |
| [No book] |
[30]For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. |
| [No book] |
[31]For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they twain shall be one flesh. |
| [No book] |
[32]This is a great secret, but I speak concerning Christ, and concerning the Church. |
| [No book] |
[33]Therefore every one of you, do ye so: let every one love his wife, even as himself, and let the wife see that she fear her husband. |
