  Ephesians   chapter 5

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