- 1. Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
- 2. Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
- 3. But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
- 4. nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.
- 5. Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
- 6. Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
- 7. Therefore don't be partakers with them.
- 8. For you were once darkness, but are now 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 well pleasing to the Lord.
- 11. 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 revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
- 14. Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
- 15. Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
- 16. redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
- 17. Therefore don't be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
- 18. Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
- 19. speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and singing praises in your heart to the Lord;
- 20. giving thanks always concerning 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 subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
- 23. For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
- 24. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
- 25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, 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 assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
- 28. Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
- 29. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
- 30. because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
- 31. "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."{Genesis 2:24}
- 32. This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.
- 33. Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
