| [1]Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; |
[No book] |
| [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 sweet-smelling savor. |
[No book] |
| [3]But lewdness and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; |
[No book] |
| [4]Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. |
[No book] |
| [5]For this ye know, that no lewd, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. |
[No book] |
| [6]Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. |
[No book] |
| [7]Be ye not therefore partakers with them. |
[No book] |
| [8]For ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye 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]Proving what is acceptable to the Lord. |
[No book] |
| [11]And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. |
[No book] |
| [12]For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. |
[No book] |
| [13]But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light. |
[No book] |
| [14]Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light. |
[No book] |
| [15]See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, |
[No book] |
| [16]Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
[No book] |
| [17]Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. |
[No book] |
| [18]And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; |
[No book] |
| [19]Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, |
[No book] |
| [20]Giving thanks always for all things to God and 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]Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord. |
[No book] |
| [23]For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Savior of the body. |
[No book] |
| [24]Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in every thing. |
[No book] |
| [25]Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; |
[No book] |
| [26]That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, |
[No book] |
| [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. |
[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 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 his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. |
[No book] |
| [32]This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. |
[No book] |
| [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. |
