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