1
KJV
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2
KJV
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
KJV
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4
KJV
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5
KJV
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
KJV
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7
KJV
Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8
KJV
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9
KJV
(For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10
KJV
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11
KJV
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].
12
KJV
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13
KJV
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14
KJV
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15
KJV
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16
KJV
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17
KJV
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].
18
KJV
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19
KJV
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20
KJV
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21
KJV
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22
KJV
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23
KJV
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
KJV
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.
25
KJV
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26
KJV
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27
KJV
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
KJV
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29
KJV
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30
KJV
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31
KJV
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
KJV
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33
KJV
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.
