\s5
|
|
\c 5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 1 Therefore become imitators of God, as his beloved children,
|
|
\v 2 and live in love as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as an offering and sacrifice, a pleasing aroma to God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 3 Sexual immorality or any impurity or sensual greed must not be suggested among you, as is proper for those set apart for God—
|
|
\v 4 nor obscenity, foolish talk, or degrading jokes, which are improper, but rather thankfulness.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 5 For you can be certain that no sexually immoral, impure, or greedy person, that is, one who worships idols, 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 upon the children 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 because the fruit of the light is all goodness, righteousness, and truth
|
|
\v 10 —showing what is pleasing to the Lord.
|
|
\v 11 Have no participation with the unfruitful works of the darkness, but rather expose them,
|
|
\v 12 for the things done by them in secret are too shameful even to describe.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 13 Everything is revealed by the light,
|
|
\v 14 because the light is shining on it all. Therefore it has been said,
|
|
\q "Awake, you who sleep,
|
|
\q and rise from the dead,
|
|
\q and Christ will shine on you."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 15 Therefore be careful how you live, not as unwise people but as wise.
|
|
\v 16 Redeem the time because the days are evil.
|
|
\v 17 Do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that leads to ruin, but instead be filled with the Holy Spirit,
|
|
\v 19 speaking to each other in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and praising with your heart to the Lord,
|
|
\v 20 always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father,
|
|
\v 21 subjecting yourselves to one another in reverence for Christ.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 22 Wives should be subject to their own 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, and 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 Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her,
|
|
\v 26 that he might make her holy because he cleansed us by the washing of water by the word,
|
|
\v 27 that he might present to himself the church as glorious, 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, but instead he nourishes and loves it, as Christ also loves the Church,
|
|
\v 30 because we are members of his body.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 31 "For this cause 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 his church.
|
|
\v 33 Nevertheless, each of you also must love his own wife as himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
