Ephesians 5:18-32

18And 1do not getG3182 drunkG3182 with wineG3631, 2in which there is 3debaucheryG810, but be 4filledG4137 with the SpiritG4151, 195speakingG2980 to 6oneG1438 anotherG1438 in 7psalmsG5568 and 8hymnsG5215 and spiritualG4152 9songsG5603, 10singingG103 and makingG5567 melodyG5567 with your heartsG2588 to the LordG2962; 2011alwaysG3842 givingG2168 thanksG2168 for allG3956 thingsG3956 in the nameG3686 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 to our 12GodG2316 and FatherG3962; 211314and subjectG5293 yourselvesG5293 to oneG240 anotherG240 in the 1516fearG5401 of ChristG5547.

2217WivesG1135, 18subject yourselves to your ownG2398 husbandsG435, 19as to the LordG2962. 23For 20the husbandG435 is the headG2776 of the wifeG1135, as ChristG5547 alsoG2532 is the 21headG2776 of the churchG1577, He HimselfG846 22being the SaviorG4990 of the bodyG4983. 24But as the churchG1577 isG5293 subjectG5293 to ChristG5547, soG3779 alsoG2532 the wivesG1135 ought to be to their husbandsG435 in everythingG3956.

2523HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135, justG2531 asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577 and 24gaveG3860 HimselfG1438 upG3860 for her, 2625soG2443 thatG2443 He might sanctifyG37 her, having 26cleansedG2511 her by the 27washingG3067 of waterG5204 with 28the wordG4487, 27that He might 29presentG3936 to HimselfG1438 the churchG1577 30in allG1741 her gloryG1741, havingG2192 noG3361 spotG4696 orG2228 wrinkleG4512 orG2228 anyG5100 suchG5108 thingG5108; but that she would be 31holyG40 and blamelessG299. 28SoG3779 husbandsG435 alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to 32loveG25 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 asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 does the churchG1577, 30becauseG3754 we are 33partsG3196 of His 34bodyG4983. 3135For thisG3778 reasonG473 a manG444 shall leaveG2641 his fatherG3962 and his motherG3384 and 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.
