1 Be{G1096}{(G5737)} ye{G3402} therefore{G3767} followers{G3402} of God{G2316}, as{G5613} dear{G27} children{G5043};

2 And{G2532} walk{G4043}{(G5720)} in{G1722} love{G26}, as{G2531} Christ{G5547} also{G2532} hath loved{G25}{(G5656)} us{G2248}, and{G2532} hath given{G3860}{(G5656)} himself{G1438} for{G5228} us{G2257} an offering{G4376} and{G2532} a sacrifice{G2378} to God{G2316} for{G1519} a sweetsmelling{G2175} savour{G3744}.

3 But{G2532} fornication{G4202}, and{G1161} all{G3956} uncleanness{G167}, or{G2228} covetousness{G4124}, let it{G3687} not be once{G3366} named{G3687}{(G5744)} among{G1722} you{G5213}, as{G2531} becometh{G4241}{(G5719)} saints{G40};

4 Neither{G2532} filthiness{G151}, nor{G2532} foolish talking{G3473}, nor{G2228} jesting{G2160}, which{G3588} are{G433} not{G3756} convenient{G433}{(G5723)}: but{G235} rather{G3123} giving of thanks{G2169}.

5 For{G1063} this{G5124} ye know{G2075}{(G5748)}{G1097}{(G5723)}, that{G3754} no{G3756}{G3956} whoremonger{G4205}, nor{G2228} unclean person{G169}, nor{G2228} covetous man{G4123}, who{G3739} is{G2076}{(G5748)} an idolater{G1496}, hath{G2192}{(G5719)} any inheritance{G2817} in{G1722} the kingdom{G932} of Christ{G5547} and{G2532} of God{G2316}.

6 Let{G538} no man{G3367} deceive{G538}{(G5720)} you{G5209} with vain{G2756} words{G3056}: for{G1063} because{G1223} of these things{G5023} cometh{G2064}{(G5736)} the wrath{G3709} of God{G2316} upon{G1909} the children{G5207} of disobedience{G543}.

7 Be{G1096} not{G3361} ye{G1096}{(G5737)} therefore{G3767} partakers{G4830} with them{G846}.

8 For{G1063} ye were{G2258}{(G5713)} sometimes{G4218} darkness{G4655}, but{G1161} now{G3568} are ye light{G5457} in{G1722} the Lord{G2962}: walk{G4043}{(G5720)} as{G5613} children{G5043} of light{G5457}:

9 (For{G1063} the fruit{G2590} of the Spirit{G4151} is in{G1722} all{G3956} goodness{G19} and{G2532} righteousness{G1343} and{G2532} truth{G225};)

10 Proving{G1381}{(G5723)} what{G5101} is{G2076}{(G5748)} acceptable{G2101} unto the Lord{G2962}.

11 And{G2532} have{G4790} no{G3361} fellowship{G4790}{(G5720)} with the unfruitful{G175} works{G2041} of darkness{G4655}, but{G1161} rather{G3123}{G2532} reprove{G1651}{(G5720)} them.

12 For{G1063} it is{G2076}{(G5748)} a shame{G149} even{G2532} to speak{G3004}{(G5721)} of those things{G2931} which are done{G1096}{(G5740)} of{G5259} them{G846} in secret{G2931}.

13 But{G1161} all things{G3956} that are reproved{G1651}{(G5746)} are made manifest{G5319}{(G5743)} by{G5259} the light{G5457}: for{G1063} whatsoever{G3956} doth make manifest{G5319}{(G5746)} is{G2076}{(G5748)} light{G5457}.

14 Wherefore{G1352} he saith{G3004}{(G5719)}, Awake thou{G1453}{(G5669)} that sleepest{G2518}{(G5723)}, and{G2532} arise{G450}{(G5628)} from{G1537} the dead{G3498}, and{G2532} Christ{G5547} shall give{G2017} thee{G4671} light{G2017}{(G5692)}.

15 See{G991}{(G5720)} then{G3767} that{G4459} ye walk{G4043}{(G5719)} circumspectly{G199}, not{G3361} as{G5613} fools{G781}, but{G235} as{G5613} wise{G4680},

16 Redeeming{G1805}{(G5734)} the time{G2540}, because{G3754} the days{G2250} are{G1526}{(G5748)} evil{G4190}.

17 Wherefore{G1223}{G5124} be ye{G1096}{(G5737)} not{G3361} unwise{G878}, but{G235} understanding{G4920}{(G5723)} what{G5101} the will{G2307} of the Lord{G2962} is.

18 And{G2532} be{G3182} not{G3361} drunk{G3182}{(G5745)} with wine{G3631}, wherein{G1722}{G3739} is{G2076}{(G5748)} excess{G810}; but{G235} be filled{G4137}{(G5744)} with{G1722} the Spirit{G4151};

19 Speaking{G2980}{(G5723)} to yourselves{G1438} in psalms{G5568} and{G2532} hymns{G5215} and{G2532} spiritual{G4152} songs{G5603}, singing{G103}{(G5723)} and{G2532} making melody{G5567}{(G5723)} in{G1722} your{G5216} heart{G2588} to the Lord{G2962};

20 Giving thanks{G2168}{(G5723)} always{G3842} for{G5228} all things{G3956} unto God{G2316} and{G2532} the Father{G3962} in{G1722} the name{G3686} of our{G2257} Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547};

21 Submitting yourselves{G5293}{(G5746)} one to another{G240} in{G1722} the fear{G5401} of God{G2316}.

22 Wives{G1135}, submit yourselves{G5293}{(G5732)} unto your own{G2398} husbands{G435}, as{G5613} unto the Lord{G2962}.

23 For{G3754} the husband{G435} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the head{G2776} of the wife{G1135}, even{G2532} as{G5613} Christ{G5547} is the head{G2776} of the church{G1577}: and{G2532} he{G846} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the saviour{G4990} of the body{G4983}.

24 Therefore{G235} as{G5618} the church{G1577} is subject{G5293}{(G5743)} unto Christ{G5547}, so{G3779}{G2532} let the wives{G1135} be to their own{G2398} husbands{G435} in{G1722} every thing{G3956}.

25 Husbands{G435}, love{G25}{(G5720)} your{G1438} wives{G1135}, even as{G2531} Christ{G5547} also{G2532} loved{G25}{(G5656)} the church{G1577}, and{G2532} gave{G3860}{(G5656)} himself{G1438} for{G5228} it{G846};

26 That{G2443} he{G846} might sanctify{G37}{(G5661)} and cleanse it{G2511}{(G5660)} with the washing{G3067} of water{G5204} by{G1722} the word{G4487},

27 That{G2443} he might present{G3936}{(G5661)} it{G846} to himself{G1438} a glorious{G1741} church{G1577}, not{G3361} having{G2192}{(G5723)} spot{G4696}, or{G2228} wrinkle{G4512}, or{G2228} any{G5100} such thing{G5108}; but{G235} that{G2443} it should be{G5600}{(G5753)} holy{G40} and{G2532} without blemish{G299}.

28 So{G3779} ought{G3784}{(G5719)} men{G435} to love{G25}{(G5721)} their{G1438} wives{G1135} as{G5613} their own{G1438} bodies{G4983}. He that loveth{G25}{(G5723)} his{G1438} wife{G1135} loveth{G25}{(G5719)} himself{G1438}.

29 For{G1063} no man{G3762} ever yet{G4218} hated{G3404}{(G5656)} his own{G1438} flesh{G4561}; but{G235} nourisheth{G1625}{(G5719)} and{G2532} cherisheth{G2282}{(G5719)} it{G846}, even as{G2531}{G2532} the Lord{G2962} the church{G1577}:

30 For{G3754} we are{G2070}{(G5748)} members{G3196} of his{G846} body{G4983}, of{G1537} his{G846} flesh{G4561}, and{G2532} of{G1537} his{G846} bones{G3747}.

31 For{G473} this cause{G5127} shall{G2641} a man{G444} leave{G2641}{(G5692)} his{G846} father{G3962} and{G2532} mother{G3384}, and{G2532} shall be joined{G4347}{(G5701)} unto{G4314} his{G846} wife{G1135}, and{G2532} they two{G1417} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} one{G1519}{G3391} flesh{G4561}.

32 This{G5124} is{G2076}{(G5748)} a great{G3173} mystery{G3466}: but{G1161} I{G1473} speak{G3004}{(G5719)} concerning{G1519} Christ{G5547} and{G1519}{G2532} the church{G1577}.

33 Nevertheless{G4133}{G2532} let{G25} every one{G1520}{G1538} of you{G5210} in particular{G2596} so{G3779} love{G25}{(G5720)} his{G1438} wife{G1135} even as{G5613} himself{G1438}; and{G1161} the wife{G1135} see that{G2443} she reverence{G5399}{(G5741)} her husband{G435}.
