Chapter 5
Ephe Haweis 5:1  BE ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;
Ephe Haweis 5:2  and walk in love as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us, an oblation and sacrifice to God, for an odour of a sweet smell.
Ephe Haweis 5:3  But fornication and all impurity, or insatiable desire, let it not be mentioned among you, as becometh saints;
Ephe Haweis 5:4  or obscenity, or foolish talk, or loose witticisms; things which become not a Christian, but rather thanksgiving.
Ephe Haweis 5:5  For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or impure person, or avaricious, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Ephe Haweis 5:6  Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things, the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.
Ephe Haweis 5:8  For ye were formerly darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light;
Ephe Haweis 5:9  (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Ephe Haweis 5:11  And have no society with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather rebuke them.
Ephe Haweis 5:12  For it is scandalous but to mention the things done of them in secret.
Ephe Haweis 5:13  But all things which are rebukeable are made manifest by the light; for it is the light, by which every thing is made manifest.
Ephe Haweis 5:14  Wherefore he saith, “Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.”
Ephe Haweis 5:15  Take heed, then, that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Ephe Haweis 5:17  Therefore be not unwise, but intelligent concerning what is the will of the Lord.
Ephe Haweis 5:18  And be not drunk with wine, in which there is sottishness, but be filled with the Spirit;
Ephe Haweis 5:19  speaking one to another in psalms and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in the heart to the Lord;
Ephe Haweis 5:20  giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God even the Father;
Ephe Haweis 5:21  being subject one to another in the fear of God.
Ephe Haweis 5:22  Wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Ephe Haweis 5:23  For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church; and is himself the saviour of the body.
Ephe Haweis 5:24  As then the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Ephe Haweis 5:25  Husbands, love your own wives, as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Ephe Haweis 5:26  that he might sanctify it, purifying it in the laver of water by the word,
Ephe Haweis 5:27  that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having blemish, nor wrinkle, nor any such things; but that it may be holy and unblameable.
Ephe Haweis 5:28  So ought husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself.
Ephe Haweis 5:29  For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Ephe Haweis 5:30  for we are the members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Ephe Haweis 5:31  For this reason shall a man forsake his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and the two shall be as one flesh.
Ephe Haweis 5:32  This mystery is great: but I am speaking with regard to Christ, and with regard to the church.
Ephe Haweis 5:33  Nevertheless let every one of you individually see that each love his own wife even as himself; but the wife that she stand in awe of the husband.
