Ephesians 5

5^aBe ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; ²And ^bwalk in love, ^cas Christ also hath loved us, and ^dhath given himself for us ^ean offering and a sacrifice to God for ^fa sweetsmelling savour. ³But ^ghfornication, and all ^guncleanness, or ^gcovetousness, let it not be once ⁱnamed among you, as becometh saints; ⁴Neither ^kfilthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, ^lwhich are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. ⁵For this ye know, that ^mno whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, ⁿwho is an idolater, ^ohath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. ^6pLet no man deceive you with vain words: for ^qbecause of these things cometh ^rthe wrath of God upon ^sthe children of ^||disobedience. ⁷Be not ye therefore ^tpartakers with them. ⁸For ^uye were ^ssometimes darkness, but ^wnow are ye light in the Lord: ^xwalk as ^ychildren of light: ⁹(For ^zthe fruit of the Spirit is in all ^agoodness and righteousness and truth;) ^10bProving what is ^cacceptable unto the Lord. ¹¹And ^dhave no fellowship with the ^eunfruitful ^fworks of darkness, but rather ^greprove them. ¹²For ^hit is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. ¹³But all things that are ^||reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever ⁱdoth make manifest is light. ¹⁴Wherefore ^||he saith, ^klAwake thou that sleepest, and ^marise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. ¹⁵See then that ⁿye walk ^ocircumspectly, not as fools, but ⁿas wise, ^16pRedeeming ^qthe time, ^rbecause the days are evil. ¹⁷Wherefore ⁿbe ye not unwise, but understanding what ^sthe will of the Lord is. ¹⁸And ^tbe not drunk with wine, wherein is ^uexcess; but ^vbe filled with the Spirit; ¹⁹Speaking to yourselves ^win ^xpsalms and ^yhymns and spiritual ^yysongs, singing and ^zmaking melody in your heart to the Lord; ^20aGiving thanks always for all things unto ^bGod and the Father ^cin the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; ^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.
