B<\/span>e ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;<\/span><\/p>\n 2<\/sup>And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Be not ye therefore partakers with them.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.<\/span> <\/p>\n 23<\/sup>For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.<\/span> <\/p>\n 24<\/sup>Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.<\/span> <\/p>\n 25<\/sup>Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;<\/span> <\/p>\n 26<\/sup>That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,<\/span> <\/p>\n 27<\/sup>That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.<\/span> <\/p>\n 28<\/sup>So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.<\/span> <\/p>\n 29<\/sup>For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:<\/span> <\/p>\n 30<\/sup>For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.<\/span> <\/p>\n 31<\/sup>For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.<\/span> <\/p>\n 32<\/sup>This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.<\/span> <\/p>\n 33<\/sup>Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.<\/span> <\/p>\n
