⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:1} Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 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 sweetsmelling savour.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:3} But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:4} Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:5} 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.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 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.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:7} Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:8} For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:9} (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:10} Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:11} And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them. ]
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:12} For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:13} But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:14} Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:15} See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:16} Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:17} Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is. ]
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:18} And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:19} Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:20} Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:21} Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:22} Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:23} 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.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:24} Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:25} Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:26} That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 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.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:28} So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:29} For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:30} For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:31} 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.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 5:32} This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Ephesians 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.
