Ephesians

Chapter 5

1 BE therefore God-like, as beloved chil dren.

2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and has given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet example.

3 But let not immorality or any uncleanness or covetousness be heard of among you, as becomes saints;

4 Neither cursing, nor foolish words, nor insults, nor words of flattery, none of which are necessary: but instead of these, let thanks be offered.

5 You should know this: that no one guilty of fornication, or unclean person, or covetous man who serves idols, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things the anger of God comes on the children of disobedience.

7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.

8 For previously you were ignorant, but now you have been enlightened by our LORD, and should live therefore like children of light.

9 For the fruits of light are found in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth;

10 And so you must discern that which is acceptable before our LORD.

11 Have no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather condemn them.

12 For it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by them in secret.

13 For all things that are condemned are exposed by the light: and anything that is made manifest is light.

14 Therefore it is said: Awake thou that sleepest, and rise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

15 Watch therefore, that you live a glorious life, not as foolish men, but as wise men,

16 Who take advantage of their opportunity, for these are difficult days.

17 Wherefore do not lack wisdom, but understand what the will of God is.

18 And do not become drunk with wine, wherein is intemperance; but be filled with the Spirit,

19 Speaking to your souls in psalms and hymns, and in spiritual songs, sing with your heart to the LORD;

20 Giving thanks always for all men to God the Father in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ.

21 Submit yourselves one to another in the love of Christ.

22 Wives submit yourselves to your husbands as to our 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 its body.

24 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved his church, and gave himself for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it, by the washing of water and by the word,

27 In order to build for himself a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28 So should men love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

29 For no man ever yet hated his own body; but nourishes it and cherishes it, even as Christ does for his church.

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

31 For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

32 This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and his church.

33 Nevertheless, let every one of you so love his wife as himself, and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Ephesians

Chapter 5

1 Be you therefore3767 followers3402 of God,2316 as dear27 children;5043

2 And walk4043 in love,26 as Christ5547 also2532 has loved26 us, and has given3860 himself1438 for us an offering4376 and a sacrifice2378 to God2316 for a sweet smelling2175 smell.3744

3 But fornication,4202 and all3956 uncleanness,167 or2228 covetousness,4124 let it not be once3366 named3687 among1722 you, as becomes4241 saints;40

4 Neither2532 3756 filthiness,151 nor2532 foolish3473 talking,3473 nor2228 jesting,2160 which3588 are not convenient:433 but rather3123 giving of thanks.2169

5 For this5124 you know,1097 that no3956 3756 fornicator,4205 nor2228 unclean169 person, nor2228 covetous4123 man, who3739 is an idolater,1496 has2192 any inheritance2817 in the kingdom932 of Christ5547 and of God.2316

6 Let no3367 man3367 deceive538 you with vain2756 words:3056 for because1223 of these5023 things comes2064 the wrath3709 of God2316 on the children5207 of disobedience.543

7 Be not you therefore3767 partakers4830 with them.

8 For you were sometimes4218 darkness,4655 but now3568 are you light5457 in the Lord:2962 walk4043 as children5043 of light:5457

9 (For the fruit2590 of the Spirit4151 is in all3956 goodness19 and righteousness1343 and truth;226)

10 Proving1381 what5101 is acceptable2101 to the Lord.2962

11 And have no3361 fellowship4790 with the unfruitful175 works2041 of darkness,4655 but rather3123 reprove1651 them.

12 For it is a shame149 even2532 to speak3004 of those3588 things which are done1096 of them in secret.2931

13 But all3956 things that are reproved1651 are made5319 manifest5319 by the light:5457 for whatever3956 does make5319 manifest5319 is light.5457

14 Why1352 he said,3004 Awake1453 you that sleep,2518 and arise450 from the dead,3498 and Christ5547 shall give you light.2017

15 See991 then3767 that you walk4043 circumspectly,199 not as fools,781 but as wise,4680

16 Redeeming1805 the time,2540 because3754 the days2250 are evil.4190

17 Why1223 5124 be you not unwise,878 but understanding4920 what5101 the will2307 of the Lord2962 is.

18 And be not drunk3182 with wine,3631 wherein1722 3757 is excess;810 but be filled4137 with the Spirit;4151

19 Speaking2980 to yourselves1438 in psalms5568 and hymns5215 and spiritual4152 songs,5603 singing103 and making5567 melody5567 in your5216 heart2588 to the Lord;2962

20 Giving thanks2168 always3842 for all3956 things to God2316 and the Father3962 in the name3686 of our Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ;5547

21 Submitting5293 yourselves one240 to another240 in the fear5401 of God.2316

22 Wives,1135 submit5293 yourselves to your3588 own2398 husbands,435 as to the Lord.2962

23 For the husband435 is the head2776 of the wife,1135 even2532 as Christ5547 is the head2776 of the church:1577 and he is the savior4990 of the body.4983

24 Therefore235 as the church1577 is subject5293 to Christ,5547 so3779 let the wives1135 be to their own2398 husbands435 in every3956 thing.

25 Husbands,435 love25 your1438 wives,1135 even2531 as Christ5547 also2532 loved25 the church,1577 and gave3860 himself1438 for it;

26 That he might sanctify37 and cleanse2511 it with the washing3067 of water5204 by the word,4487

27 That he might present3936 it to himself1438 a glorious1741 church,1577 not having2192 spot,4696 or2228 wrinkle,4512 or2228 any5100 such5108 thing; but that it should be holy40 and without299 blemish.299

28 So3779 ought3784 men435 to love25 their wives1135 as their own1438 bodies.4983 He that loves25 his wife1135 loves25 himself.1438

29 For no3762 man3762 ever4218 yet hated3404 his own1438 flesh;4561 but nourishes1625 and cherishes2282 it, even2532 as the Lord2962 the church:1577

30 For we are members3196 of his body,4983 of his flesh,4561 and of his bones.3747

31 For this5127 cause473 shall a man444 leave2641 his father3962 and mother,3384 and shall be joined4347 to his wife,1135 and they two1417 shall be one3391 flesh.4561

32 This5124 is a great3173 mystery:3466 but I speak3004 concerning1519 Christ5547 and the church.1577

33 Nevertheless4133 let every2596 1520 one of you in particular3588 so3779 love25 his wife1135 even5613 as himself;1438 and the wife1135 see that she reverence5399 her husband.435

7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.

7 Be not you therefore3767 partakers4830 with them.

8 For previously you were ignorant, but now you have been enlightened by our LORD, and should live therefore like children of light.

8 For you were sometimes4218 darkness,4655 but now3568 are you light5457 in the Lord:2962 walk4043 as children5043 of light:5457

9 For the fruits of light are found in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth;

9 (For the fruit2590 of the Spirit4151 is in all3956 goodness19 and righteousness1343 and truth;226)

10 And so you must discern that which is acceptable before our LORD.

10 Proving1381 what5101 is acceptable2101 to the Lord.2962

11 And have no3361 fellowship4790 with the unfruitful175 works2041 of darkness,4655 but rather3123 reprove1651 them.

12 For it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by them in secret.

12 For it is a shame149 even2532 to speak3004 of those3588 things which are done1096 of them in secret.2931

13 For all things that are condemned are exposed by the light: and anything that is made manifest is light.

13 But all3956 things that are reproved1651 are made5319 manifest5319 by the light:5457 for whatever3956 does make5319 manifest5319 is light.5457

14 Therefore it is said: Awake thou that sleepest, and rise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

14 Why1352 he said,3004 Awake1453 you that sleep,2518 and arise450 from the dead,3498 and Christ5547 shall give you light.2017

15 Watch therefore, that you live a glorious life, not as foolish men, but as wise men,

15 See991 then3767 that you walk4043 circumspectly,199 not as fools,781 but as wise,4680

16 Who take advantage of their opportunity, for these are difficult days.

16 Redeeming1805 the time,2540 because3754 the days2250 are evil.4190

17 Wherefore do not lack wisdom, but understand what the will of God is.

17 Why1223 5124 be you not unwise,878 but understanding4920 what5101 the will2307 of the Lord2962 is.

18 And do not become drunk with wine, wherein is intemperance; but be filled with the Spirit,

18 And be not drunk3182 with wine,3631 wherein1722 3757 is excess;810 but be filled4137 with the Spirit;4151

19 Speaking to your souls in psalms and hymns, and in spiritual songs, sing with your heart to the LORD;

19 Speaking2980 to yourselves1438 in psalms5568 and hymns5215 and spiritual4152 songs,5603 singing103 and making5567 melody5567 in your5216 heart2588 to the Lord;2962

20 Giving thanks always for all men to God the Father in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ.

20 Giving thanks2168 always3842 for all3956 things to God2316 and the Father3962 in the name3686 of our Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ;5547

21 Submit yourselves one to another in the love of Christ.

21 Submitting5293 yourselves one240 to another240 in the fear5401 of God.2316

22 Wives submit yourselves to your husbands as to our LORD.

22 Wives,1135 submit5293 yourselves to your3588 own2398 husbands,435 as to the Lord.2962

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 its body.

23 For the husband435 is the head2776 of the wife,1135 even2532 as Christ5547 is the head2776 of the church:1577 and he is the savior4990 of the body.4983

24 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

24 Therefore235 as the church1577 is subject5293 to Christ,5547 so3779 let the wives1135 be to their own2398 husbands435 in every3956 thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved his church, and gave himself for it;

25 Husbands,435 love25 your1438 wives,1135 even2531 as Christ5547 also2532 loved25 the church,1577 and gave3860 himself1438 for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it, by the washing of water and by the word,

26 That he might sanctify37 and cleanse2511 it with the washing3067 of water5204 by the word,4487

27 In order to build for himself a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

27 That he might present3936 it to himself1438 a glorious1741 church,1577 not having2192 spot,4696 or2228 wrinkle,4512 or2228 any5100 such5108 thing; but that it should be holy40 and without299 blemish.299

28 So should men love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

28 So3779 ought3784 men435 to love25 their wives1135 as their own1438 bodies.4983 He that loves25 his wife1135 loves25 himself.1438

29 For no man ever yet hated his own body; but nourishes it and cherishes it, even as Christ does for his church.

29 For no3762 man3762 ever4218 yet hated3404 his own1438 flesh;4561 but nourishes1625 and cherishes2282 it, even2532 as the Lord2962 the church:1577

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

30 For we are members3196 of his body,4983 of his flesh,4561 and of his bones.3747

31 For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

31 For this5127 cause473 shall a man444 leave2641 his father3962 and mother,3384 and shall be joined4347 to his wife,1135 and they two1417 shall be one3391 flesh.4561

32 This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and his church.

32 This5124 is a great3173 mystery:3466 but I speak3004 concerning1519 Christ5547 and the church.1577

33 Nevertheless, let every one of you so love his wife as himself, and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

33 Nevertheless4133 let every2596 1520 one of you in particular3588 so3779 love25 his wife1135 even5613 as himself;1438 and the wife1135 see that she reverence5399 her husband.435
