Ephesians 5

1Be yeG1096 thereforeG3767 followersG3402 of GodG3588G2316, asG5613 dearG27 childrenG5043; 2AndG2532 walkG4043 inG1722 loveG26, asG2531 ChristG3588G5547 alsoG2532 hath lovedG25 usG1473, andG2532 hath givenG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 usG1473 an offeringG4376 andG2532 a sacrificeG2378 to GodG3588G2316 forG1519 a sweetsmellingG2175 savourG3744.

3ButG1161 fornicationG4202, andG2532 allG3956 uncleannessG167, orG2228 covetousnessG4124, let itG3687 not be onceG3366 namedG3687 amongG1722 youG4771, asG2531 becomethG4241 saintsG40; 4NeitherG2532 filthinessG151, norG2532 foolish talkingG3473, norG2228 jestingG2160, whichG3588 areG433 notG3756 convenientG433: butG235 ratherG3123 giving of thanksG2169.

5ForG1063 thisG3778 ye knowG1097, thatG3754 noG3956 whoremongerG4205, norG2228 unclean personG169, norG2228 covetous manG4123, whoG3739 isG1510 an idolaterG1496, hathG2192 anyG3756 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the kingdomG3588G932 of ChristG3588G5547 andG2532 of GodG2316. 6LetG538 no manG3367 deceiveG538 youG4771 withG1223 vainG2756 wordsG3056: for because ofG1063 these thingsG3778 comethG2064 the wrathG3588G3709 of GodG3588G2316 uponG1909 the childrenG3588G5207 of disobedienceG3588G543.

7BeG1096 notG3361 yeG1096 thereforeG3767 partakersG4830 with themG846. 8ForG1063 ye wereG1510 sometimesG4218 darknessG4655, butG1161 nowG3568 are ye lightG5457 inG1722 the LordG2962: walkG4043 asG5613 childrenG5043 of lightG5457: 9(ForG1063 the fruitG2590 of the SpiritG3588G4151 is inG1722 allG3956 goodnessG19 andG2532 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 truthG225;) 10ProvingG1381 whatG5101 isG1510 acceptableG2101 unto the LordG3588G2962. 11AndG2532 haveG4790 noG3361 fellowshipG4790 with the unfruitfulG175 worksG3588G2041 of darknessG3588G4655, butG1161 ratherG3123 reproveG1651 them. 12ForG1063 it isG1510 a shameG150 evenG2532 to speakG3004 ofG5259 those things whichG3588 are doneG1096 of themG846 in secretG2931. 13ButG1161 all thingsG3956 thatG3588 are reprovedG1651 are made manifestG5319 byG5259 the lightG3588G5457: forG1063 whatsoeverG3956 doth make manifestG5319 isG1510 lightG5457. 14WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, Awake thouG1453 thatG3588 sleepestG2518, andG2532 ariseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 ChristG3588G5547 shall giveG2017 theeG4771 lightG2017.

15SeeG991 thenG3767 thatG4459 ye walkG4043 circumspectlyG199, notG3361 asG5613 foolsG781, butG235 asG5613 wiseG4680, 16RedeemingG1805 the timeG3588G2540, becauseG3754 the daysG3588G2250 areG1510 evilG4190. 17WhereforeG3778 be yeG1096 notG3361 unwiseG878, butG235 understandingG4920 whatG5101 the willG3588G2307 of the LordG3588G2962 is.

18AndG2532 beG3182 notG3361 drunkG3182 withG1722 wineG3631, whereinG3739 isG1510 excessG810; butG235 be filledG4137 withG1722 the SpiritG4151; 19SpeakingG2980 to yourselvesG1438 in psalmsG5568 andG2532 hymnsG5215 andG2532 spiritualG4152 songsG5603, singingG103 andG2532 making melodyG5567 inG1722 yourG4771 heartG3588G2588 to the LordG3588G2962; 20Giving thanksG2168 alwaysG3842 forG5228 all thingsG3956 unto GodG3588G2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 inG1722 the nameG3686 of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547;

21SubmittingG5293 yourselves one to anotherG240 inG1722 the fearG5401 of GodG2316. 22

WivesG3588G1135, submit yourselves untoG5293 your ownG2398 husbandsG435, asG5613 unto the LordG3588G2962. 23ForG3754 the husbandG3588G435 isG1510 the headG2776 of the wifeG3588G1135, evenG2532 asG5613 Christ isG3588G5547 the headG2776 of the AssemblyG3588G1577: andG2532 heG846 isG1510 the saviourG4990 of the bodyG3588G4983. 24ThereforeG235 asG5618 the AssemblyG3588G1577 is subject untoG5293 ChristG3588G5547, soG3779 let the wivesG3588G1135 be to their ownG2398 husbandsG435 inG1722 every thingG3956.

25HusbandsG3588G435, loveG25 yourG1438 wivesG3588G1135, even asG2531 ChristG3588G5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the AssemblyG3588G1577, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 itG846; 26ThatG2443 heG846 might sanctifyG37 and cleanse itG2511 with the washingG3588G3067 of waterG3588G5204 byG1722 the wordG4487, 27ThatG2443 he might presentG3936 itG846 to himselfG1438 a gloriousG1741 AssemblyG3588G1577, notG3361 havingG2192 spotG4696, orG2228 wrinkleG4512, orG2228 anyG5100 such thingG5108; butG235 thatG2443 it should beG1510 holyG40 andG2532 without blemishG299. 28SoG3779 oughtG3784 menG3588G435 to loveG25 theirG1438 wivesG1135 asG5613 their ownG1438 bodiesG4983. He thatG3588 lovethG25 hisG1438 wifeG1135 lovethG25 himselfG1438. 29ForG1063 no manG3762 ever yetG4218 hatedG3404 his ownG1438 fleshG4561; butG235 nourishethG1625 andG2532 cherishethG2282 itG846, evenG2532 asG2531 the LordG3588G2962 the AssemblyG3588G1577: 30ForG3754 we areG1510 membersG3196 of hisG846 bodyG3588G4983, ofG1537 hisG846 fleshG3588G4561, andG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 bonesG3588G3747. 31ForG473 this causeG3778 shallG2641 a manG444 leaveG2641 hisG846 fatherG3588G3962 andG2532 motherG3588G3384, andG2532 shall be joinedG4347 untoG4314 hisG846 wifeG3588G1135, andG2532 theyG1510 twoG1417 shall beG1510 oneG1520 fleshG4561. 32ThisG3778 isG1510 a greatG3173 mysteryG3588G3466: butG1161 IG1473 speakG3004 concerningG1519 ChristG5547 andG2532 the AssemblyG3588G1577. 33NeverthelessG4133 letG25 every oneG1520 of youG4771 in particularG1538 soG3779 loveG25 hisG1438 wifeG3588G1135 even asG5613 himselfG1438; andG1161 the wifeG3588G1135 see thatG2443 she reverenceG5399 her husbandG3588G435.
