Ephesians 5:21–6:9

^21dSubmitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

^22eWives, ^fsubmit yourselves unto your own husbands, ^gas unto the Lord. ²³For ^hthe husband is the head of the wife, even as ^hiChrist is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of ^kthe body. ²⁴Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands ^lin every thing. ^25mHusbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and ⁿgave himself for it; ²⁶That he might ^psanctify and ^pcleanse it ^owith the washing of water ^pby the word, ^27qThat he might present it to himself a glorious church, ^rnot having ^sspot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be ^tholy and without blemish. ²⁸So ought men to ^mlove their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. ²⁹For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but ^ttnourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: ³⁰For ^uwe are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ^31vFor this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they ^wtwo shall be one flesh. ³²This is a great mystery: but ^xI speak ^xxconcerning Christ and the church. ³³Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so ^mylove his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she ^zreverence her husband.

6^aChildren, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. ^2bHonour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) ^3bThat it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. ⁴And, ^cye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: ^dbut ^ebring them up in the nurture and ^fadmonition of the Lord.

^5gServants, be obedient to them that are your masters ^ggaccording to the flesh, ^hwith fear and trembling, ^giin singleness of your heart, ⁱⁱas unto Christ; ^6gNot with eyeservice, as ^jmenpleasers; but as ^kthe servants of Christ, doing ^lthe will of God from the heart; ^7mWith good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: ⁸Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, ⁿthe same shall he receive of the Lord, ^owhether he be bond or free. ⁹And, ^pye masters, do the same things unto them, ^||qforbearing threatening: knowing that ^||kryour Master also is in heaven; ^sneither is there respect of persons with him.
