Ephesians 5:1–18

Walk in Love

5 Therefore abe imitators of God as dear bchildren. And cwalk in love, das Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God efor a sweet-smelling aroma.

And Christ will give you light.”

17 xTherefore do not be unwise, but yunderstand zwhat the will of the Lord is. 18 And ado not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
