Ephesians Chapter 5 Page 1 of 2

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 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 sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be
once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor
foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving
of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean
person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in
the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain
words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the
children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye 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 acceptable unto the
Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those
things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are
reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make
manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then
that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming
the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise,
but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk
with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking
to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and
making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for
all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the
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 the body. 24 Therefore
as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own
husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might
sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 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. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.
He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated
his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the
church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his
bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the
church. 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.
