(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
1
Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
2
and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
3
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
4
nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
5
For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, which is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
6
Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
8
For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
9
(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
11
and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
12
for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
13
But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
14
Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
15
Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
17
Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
18
And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
19
speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
20
giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
21
subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
22
Wives, be in subjection unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
23
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
24
But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
26
that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
27
that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
28
Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
29
for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
31
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the twain shall become one flesh.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
32
This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.
(ERV)
Ephesians
5
:
33
Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she fear her husband.
