1Be[G1096]ye[G3402]therefore[G3767]followers[G3402] of God[G2316], as[G5613]dear[G27]children[G5043];
2And[G2532]walk[G4043]in[G1722]love[G26], as[G2531]Christ[G5547]also[G2532] hath loved[G25]us[G2248], and[G2532] hath given[G3860]himself[G1438]for[G5228]us[G2257] an offering[G4376]and[G2532] a sacrifice[G2378] to God[G2316]for[G1519] a sweetsmelling[G2175]savour[G3744].
3But[G2532]fornication[G4202], and[G1161]all[G3956]uncleanness[G167], or[G2228]covetousness[G4124], let it[G3687] not be once[G3366]named[G3687]among[G1722]you[G5213], as[G2531]becometh[G4241]saints[G40];
4Neither[G2532]filthiness[G151], nor[G2532] foolish talking[G3473], nor[G2228]jesting[G2160], which[G3588]are[G433]not[G3756]convenient[G433]: but[G235]rather[G3123] giving of thanks[G2169].
5For[G1063]this[G5124] ye know[G2075], that[G3754]no[G3756]whoremonger[G4205], nor[G2228] unclean person[G169], nor[G2228] covetous man[G4123], who[G3739]is[G2076] an idolater[G1496], hath[G2192] any inheritance[G2817]in[G1722] the kingdom[G932] of Christ[G5547]and[G2532] of God[G2316].
6Let[G538] no man[G3367]deceive[G538]you[G5209] with vain[G2756]words[G3056]: for[G1063]because[G1223] of these things[G5023]cometh[G2064] the wrath[G3709] of God[G2316]upon[G1909] the children[G5207] of disobedience[G543].
7Be[G1096]not[G3361]ye[G1096]therefore[G3767]partakers[G4830] with them[G846].
8For[G1063] ye were[G2258]sometimes[G4218]darkness[G4655], but[G1161]now[G3568] are ye light[G5457]in[G1722] the Lord[G2962]: walk[G4043]as[G5613]children[G5043] of light[G5457]:
9
(For[G1063] the fruit[G2590] of the Spirit[G4151] is in[G1722]all[G3956]goodness[G19]and[G2532]righteousness[G1343]and[G2532]truth[G225];)
10Proving[G1381]what[G5101]is[G2076]acceptable[G2101] unto the Lord[G2962].
11And[G2532]have[G4790]no[G3361]fellowship[G4790] with the unfruitful[G175]works[G2041] of darkness[G4655], but[G1161]rather[G3123]reprove[G1651] them.
12For[G1063] it is[G2076] a shame[G149]even[G2532] to speak[G3004]of[G5259] those things[G2931] which are done[G1096]of[G5259]them[G846] in secret[G2931].
13But[G1161] all things[G3956] that are reproved[G1651] are made manifest[G5319]by[G5259] the light[G5457]: for[G1063]whatsoever[G3956] doth make manifest[G5319]is[G2076]light[G5457].
14Wherefore[G1352] he saith[G3004], Awake thou[G1453] that sleepest[G2518], and[G2532]arise[G450]from[G1537] the dead[G3498], and[G2532]Christ[G5547] shall give[G2017]thee[G4671]light[G2017].
15See[G991]then[G3767]that[G4459] ye walk[G4043]circumspectly[G199], not[G3361]as[G5613]fools[G781], but[G235]as[G5613]wise[G4680],
16Redeeming[G1805] the time[G2540], because[G3754] the days[G2250]are[G1526]evil[G4190].
17Wherefore[G1223] be ye[G1096]not[G3361]unwise[G878], but[G235]understanding[G4920]what[G5101] the will[G2307] of the Lord[G2962] is.
18And[G2532]be[G3182]not[G3361]drunk[G3182]with[G1722]wine[G3631], wherein[G1722]is[G2076]excess[G810]; but[G235]be[G3182]filled[G4137]with[G1722] the Spirit[G4151];
19Speaking[G2980] to yourselves[G1438]in[G1722]psalms[G5568]and[G2532]hymns[G5215]and[G2532]spiritual[G4152]songs[G5603], singing[G103]and[G2532] making melody[G5567]in[G1722]your[G5216]heart[G2588] to the Lord[G2962];
20
Giving thanks[G2168]always[G3842]for[G5228] all things[G3956] unto God[G2316]and[G2532] the Father[G3962]in[G1722] the name[G3686] of our[G2257]Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547];
21
Submitting yourselves[G5293] one to another[G240]in[G1722] the fear[G5401] of God[G2316].
22Wives[G1135], submit yourselves[G5293] unto your own[G2398]husbands[G435], as[G5613] unto the Lord[G2962].
23For[G3754] the husband[G435]is[G2076] the head[G2776] of the wife[G1135], even[G2532]as[G5613]Christ[G5547]is[G2076] the head[G2776] of the church[G1577]: and[G2532]he[G846]is[G2076] the saviour[G4990] of the body[G4983].
24Therefore[G235]as[G5618] the church[G1577] is subject[G5293] unto Christ[G5547], so[G3779] let the wives[G1135] be to their own[G2398]husbands[G435]in[G1722] every thing[G3956].
25Husbands[G435], love[G25]your[G1438]wives[G1135], even as[G2531]Christ[G5547]also[G2532]loved[G25] the church[G1577], and[G2532]gave[G3860]himself[G1438]for[G5228]it[G846];
26That[G2443]he[G846] might sanctify[G37] and cleanse it[G2511] with the washing[G3067] of water[G5204]by[G1722] the word[G4487],
27That[G2443] he might present[G3936]it[G846] to himself[G1438] a glorious[G1741]church[G1577], not[G3361]having[G2192]spot[G4696], or[G2228]wrinkle[G4512], or[G2228]any[G5100] such thing[G5108]; but[G235]that[G2443]it[G846] should be[G5600]holy[G40]and[G2532] without blemish[G299].
28So[G3779]ought[G3784]men[G435] to love[G25]their[G1438]wives[G1135]as[G5613]their[G1438]own[G1438]bodies[G4983]. He that loveth[G25]his[G1438]wife[G1135]loveth[G25]himself[G1438].
29For[G1063] no man[G3762] ever yet[G4218]hated[G3404] his own[G1438]flesh[G4561]; but[G235]nourisheth[G1625]and[G2532]cherisheth[G2282]it[G846], even as[G2531] the Lord[G2962] the church[G1577]:
30For[G3754] we are[G2070]members[G3196]of[G1537]his[G846]body[G4983], of[G1537]his[G846]flesh[G4561], and[G2532]of[G1537]his[G846]bones[G3747].
31For[G473] this cause[G5127]shall[G2641] a man[G444]leave[G2641]his[G846]father[G3962]and[G2532]mother[G3384], and[G2532]shall[G2641]be[G2071]joined[G4347]unto[G4314]his[G846]wife[G1135], and[G2532] they two[G1417]shall[G2641]be[G2071]one[G1519]flesh[G4561].
32This[G5124]is[G2076] a great[G3173]mystery[G3466]: but[G1161]I[G1473]speak[G3004]concerning[G1519]Christ[G5547]and[G1519] the church[G1577].
33Nevertheless[G4133]let[G25] every one[G1520] of you[G5210] in particular[G2596]so[G3779]love[G25]his[G1438]wife[G1135] even as[G5613]himself[G1438]; and[G1161] the wife[G1135] see that[G2443] she reverence[G5399] her husband[G435].
