Book 49 Ephesians Chapter 005
| |
| 005:001 | Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
|
| 005:002 | 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.
|
| 005:003 | But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
|
| 005:004 | Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
|
| 005:005 | 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.
|
| 005:006 | Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
|
| 005:007 | Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
|
| 005:008 | For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
|
| 005:009 | (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
|
| 005:010 | Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
|
| 005:011 | And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
|
| 005:012 | For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
|
| 005:013 | But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
|
| 005:014 | Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
|
| 005:015 | See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
|
| 005:016 | Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
|
| 005:017 | Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
|
| 005:018 | And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
|
| 005:019 | Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
|
| 005:020 | Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
|
| 005:021 | Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
|
| 005:022 | Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
|
| 005:023 | 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.
|
| 005:024 | Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
|
| 005:025 | Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
|
| 005:026 | That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
|
| 005:027 | 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.
|
| 005:028 | So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
|
| 005:029 | For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
|
| 005:030 | For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
|
| 005:031 | 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.
|
| 005:032 | This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
|
| 005:033 | Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. |
