\s5

\c 5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 1 Therefore become imitators of God, as his beloved children.
|
|
\v 2 And walk in love, as also Christ loved us and gave himself up for us. He was an offering and sacrifice, to be a pleasing aroma to God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 3 Sexual immorality or any impurity or sensual greed must not be mentioned among you, as is proper for believers.
|
|
\v 4 Nor should be mentioned obscenity, foolish talk, or degrading jokes, which are improper. Instead there should be thankfulness.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 5 For you can be certain that no sexually immoral, impure, or greedy person, that is, an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
|
|
\v 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words. Because of these things the anger of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
|
|
\v 7 So do not be participants with them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. So walk as children of light.
|
|
\v 9 For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.
|
|
\v 10 Find out what is pleasing to the Lord.
|
|
\v 11 Have no participation with the unfruitful works of the darkness. Instead, expose them.
|
|
\v 12 For the things done by them in secret are too shameful even to describe.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 13 All things, when they are revealed by the light, are exposed.
|
|
\v 14 For everything revealed becomes light. Therefore it says,
|
|
\q "Awake, you sleeper,
|
|
\q and rise from the dead ones,
|
|
\q and Christ will shine on you."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 15 Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise people but as wise.
|
|
\v 16 Redeem the time because the days are evil.
|
|
\v 17 Do not be foolish. Instead, understand what the will of the Lord is.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that leads to ruin. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.
|
|
\v 19 Speak to each other in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and praise with your heart to the Lord.
|
|
\v 20 Always give thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.
|
|
\v 21 Submit yourselves to one another in reverence for Christ.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 22 Wives, submit to your husbands, as to the Lord.
|
|
\v 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church. He is the savior of the body.
|
|
\v 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also must wives be to their husbands in everything.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 25 Husbands, love your wives as also Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
|
|
\v 26 He did this so that he might make her holy. He cleansed her by the washing of water in the word.
|
|
\v 27 He did this so that he might present to himself a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such thing, but instead holy and without fault.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 28 In the same way, husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
|
|
\v 29 No one ever hated his own body. Instead, he nourishes and loves it, as Christ also loves the church.
|
|
\v 30 For we are members of his body.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."
|
|
\v 32 This is a great hidden truth, but I am speaking about Christ and the church.
|
|
\v 33 Nevertheless, each of you also must love his own wife as himself, and the wife must honor her husband.
