^{1 Ref} Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;

^{2 Ref} and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.

^{3 Ref} But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

^{4 Ref} nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.

^{5 Ref} For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

^{6 Ref} Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.

^{7 Ref} Be not ye therefore partakers with them;

^{8 Ref} For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light

^{9 Ref} (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

^{10 Ref} proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;

^{11 Ref} and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;

^{12 Ref} for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of.

^{13 Ref} But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.

^{14 Ref} Wherefore `he' saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

^{15 Ref} Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

^{16 Ref} redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

^{17 Ref} Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

^{18 Ref} And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;

^{19 Ref} speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

^{20 Ref} giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

^{21 Ref} subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.

^{22 Ref} Wives, `be in subjection' unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

^{23 Ref} For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, `being' himself the saviour of the body.

^{24 Ref} But as the church is subject to Christ, so `let' the wives also `be' to their husbands in everything.

^{25 Ref} Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;

^{26 Ref} that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

^{27 Ref} that he might present the church to himself a glorious `church', not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

^{28 Ref} Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

^{29 Ref} for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;

^{30 Ref} because we are members of his body.

^{31 Ref} For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.

^{32 Ref} This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.

^{33 Ref} Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and `let' the wife `see' that she fear her husband.

^{1 Ref} Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

^{2 Ref} 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.

^{3 Ref} But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

^{4 Ref} Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

^{5 Ref} 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.

^{6 Ref} Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

^{7 Ref} Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

^{8 Ref} For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

^{9 Ref} (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

^{10 Ref} Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

^{11 Ref} And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

^{12 Ref} For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

^{13 Ref} But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

^{14 Ref} Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

^{15 Ref} See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

^{16 Ref} Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

^{17 Ref} Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

^{18 Ref} And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

^{19 Ref} Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

^{20 Ref} Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

^{21 Ref} Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

^{22 Ref} Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

^{23 Ref} 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.

^{24 Ref} Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

^{25 Ref} Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

^{26 Ref} That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

^{27 Ref} 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.

^{28 Ref} So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

^{29 Ref} For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

^{30 Ref} For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

^{31 Ref} 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.

^{32 Ref} This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

^{33 Ref} Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
