5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

5:2 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 sweet-smelling savor.

5:3 But lewdness and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

5:5 For this ye know, that no lewd, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

5:7 Be ye not therefore partakers with them.

5:8 For ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light;

5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth;)

5:10 Proving what is acceptable to the Lord.

5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

5:13 But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light.

5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light.

5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

5:18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

5:20 Giving thanks always for all things to God and the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

5:22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Savior of the body.

5:24 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

5:27 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.

5:28 So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.

5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

5:33 Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself: and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
