- 1. Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;
- 2. and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.
- 3. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
- 4. nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
- 5. For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
- 6. Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.
- 7. Be not ye therefore partakers with them;
- 8. For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
- 9. (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
- 10. proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;
- 11. and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;
- 12. for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of.
- 13. But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
- 14. Wherefore [he] saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.
- 15. Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
- 16. redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
- 17. Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
- 18. And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;
- 19. speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
- 20. giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
- 21. subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
- 22. Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
- 23. For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, [being] himself the saviour of the body.
- 24. But as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything.
- 25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
- 26. that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
- 27. that he might present the church to himself a glorious [church], not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
- 28. Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:
- 29. for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;
- 30. because we are members of his body.
- 31. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.
- 32. This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.
- 33. Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and [let] the wife [see] that she fear her husband.
