| 5:1 |
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;
|
| 5:2 |
and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
|
| 5:3 |
But do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you, as is proper among saints;
|
| 5:4 |
and [there must be no] filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
|
| 5:5 |
For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
|
| 5:6 |
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
|
| 5:7 |
Therefore do not be partakers with them;
|
| 5:8 |
for you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light
|
| 5:9 |
(for the fruit of the light [consists] in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
|
| 5:10 |
trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.
|
| 5:11 |
And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them;
|
| 5:12 |
for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.
|
| 5:13 |
But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.
|
| 5:14 |
For this reason it says, "Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you."
|
| 5:15 |
Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise,
|
| 5:16 |
making the most of your time, because the days are evil.
|
| 5:17 |
So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
|
| 5:18 |
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
|
| 5:19 |
speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
|
| 5:20 |
always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
|
| 5:21 |
and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
|
| 5:22 |
Wives, [be subject] to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
|
| 5:23 |
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself [being] the Savior of the body.
|
| 5:24 |
But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives [ought to be] to their husbands in everything.
|
| 5:25 |
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her;
|
| 5:26 |
that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
|
| 5:27 |
that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless.
|
| 5:28 |
So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;
|
| 5:29 |
for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also [does] the church,
|
| 5:30 |
because we are members of His body.
|
| 5:31 |
For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.
|
| 5:32 |
This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.
|
| 5:33 |
Nevertheless let each individual among you also love his own wife even as himself; and [let] the wife [see to it] that she respect her husband.
