Ephesians 5:18-32

18And 1do not getG3182 drunkG3182 with wineG3631, 2for that is 3dissipationG810, but be 4filledG4137 with the SpiritG4151, 195speakingG2980 to 6oneG1438 anotherG1438 in 7psalmsG5568 and 8hymnsG5215 and spiritualG4152 9songsG5603, 10singingG103 and makingG5567 melodyG5567 with your heartG2588 to the LordG2962; 2011alwaysG3842 givingG2168 thanksG2168 for allG3956 thingsG3956 in the nameG3686 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 to 1213GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962; 211415and be subjectG5293 to oneG240 anotherG240 in the 1617fearG5401 of ChristG5547.

2218WivesG1135, 19be subject to your ownG2398 husbandsG435, 20as to the LordG2962. 23For 21the husbandG435 is the headG2776 of the wifeG1135, as ChristG5547 alsoG2532 is the 22headG2776 of the churchG1577, He HimselfG846 23being the SaviorG4990 of the bodyG4983. 24But as the churchG1577 is subjectG5293 to ChristG5547, soG3779 alsoG2532 the wivesG1135 ought to be to their husbandsG435 in everythingG3956.

2524HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135, justG2531 as ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577 and 25gaveG3860 HimselfG1438 up for her, 2626soG2443 that He might sanctifyG37 her, having 27cleansedG2511 her by the 28washingG3067 of waterG5204 with 29the wordG4487, 27that He might 30presentG3936 to HimselfG1438 the churchG1577 31in allG1741 her gloryG1741, havingG2192 noG3361 spotG4696 orG2228 wrinkleG4512 orG2228 anyG5100 suchG5108 thingG5108; but that she would be 32holyG40 and blamelessG299. 28SoG3779 husbandsG435 oughtG3784 alsoG2532 to 33loveG25 their ownG1438 wivesG1135 as their ownG1438 bodiesG4983. He who lovesG25 his ownG1438 wifeG1135 lovesG25 himselfG1438; 29for noG3762 oneG3762 everG4218 hatedG3404 his ownG1438 fleshG4561, but nourishesG1625 and cherishesG2282 it, justG2531 as ChristG5547 alsoG2532 does the churchG1577, 30becauseG3754 we are 34membersG3196 of His 35bodyG4983. 3136For thisG3778 reasonG473 a manG444 shall leaveG2641 his fatherG3962 and motherG3384 and shall be joinedG4347 to his wifeG1135, and the twoG1417 shall becomeG1510G1519 oneG1520 fleshG4561. 32ThisG3778 mysteryG3466 is greatG3173; but I am speakingG3004 with referenceG1519 to ChristG5547 and the churchG1577.
