| 5:1 |
Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,
|
| 5:2 |
and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,
|
| 5:3 |
and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
|
| 5:4 |
also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, -- the things not fit -- but rather thanksgiving;
|
| 5:5 |
for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.
|
| 5:6 |
Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,
|
| 5:7 |
become not, then, partakers with them,
|
| 5:8 |
for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,
|
| 5:9 |
for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,
|
| 5:10 |
proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,
|
| 5:11 |
and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict,
|
| 5:12 |
for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of,
|
| 5:13 |
and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light;
|
| 5:14 |
wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'
|
| 5:15 |
See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,
|
| 5:16 |
redeeming the time, because the days are evil;
|
| 5:17 |
because of this become not fools, but -- understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,
|
| 5:18 |
and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,
|
| 5:19 |
speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
|
| 5:20 |
giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father;
|
| 5:21 |
subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.
|
| 5:22 |
The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,
|
| 5:23 |
because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,
|
| 5:24 |
but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything.
|
| 5:25 |
The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,
|
| 5:26 |
that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying,
|
| 5:27 |
that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;
|
| 5:28 |
so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;
|
| 5:29 |
for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,
|
| 5:30 |
because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;
|
| 5:31 |
`for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;'
|
| 5:32 |
this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;
|
| 5:33 |
but ye also, every one in particular -- let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife -- that she may reverence the husband.
