Compare: Ephesians 5

BSB

Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children,

BSB

and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God.

BSB

But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed.

BSB

Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving.

BSB

For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

BSB

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

BSB

Therefore do not be partakers with them.

BSB

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

BSB

for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.

BSB

Test and prove what pleases the Lord.

BSB

Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

BSB

For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

BSB

But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself.

BSB

So it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

BSB

Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,

BSB

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

BSB

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

BSB

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

BSB

Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord,

BSB

always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

BSB

Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

BSB

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

BSB

For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior.

BSB

Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

BSB

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her

BSB

to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

BSB

and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.

BSB

In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

BSB

Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

BSB

For we are members of His body.

BSB

“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”

BSB

This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church.

BSB

Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
