Ephesians 5:32

Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.

Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Ephesians 5:3 But fornication and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints.

Ephesians 5:4 Let there be no filthiness, nor silly talk, nor levity, which are not fitting; but instead let there be thanksgiving.

Ephesians 5:5 Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure man, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Ephesians 5:6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Ephesians 5:7 Therefore do not associate with them,

Ephesians 5:8 for once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light

Ephesians 5:9 (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true),

Ephesians 5:10 and try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

Ephesians 5:11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

Ephesians 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of the things that they do in secret;

Ephesians 5:13 but when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.

Ephesians 5:14 Therefore it is said, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light."

Ephesians 5:15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

Ephesians 5:16 making the most of the time, because the days are evil.

Ephesians 5:17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Ephesians 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,

Ephesians 5:19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart,

Ephesians 5:20 always and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.

Ephesians 5:21 Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Ephesians 5:22 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord.

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

Ephesians 5:24 As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands.

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

Ephesians 5:26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

Ephesians 5:27 that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.

Ephesians 5:28 Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Ephesians 5:29 For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,

Ephesians 5:30 because we are members of his body.

Ephesians 5:31 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."

Ephesians 5:33 however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
