Ephesians 5:3-20
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;
