Ephesians 5

<< Ephesians 5 >>
King James Bible with Strong's Numbers
 

1 Be ye therefore followers of God as dear children 2 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

3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness let it not be once named among you as becometh saints 4 Neither filthiness nor foolish talking nor jesting which are not convenient but rather giving of thanks 5 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

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them 8 For ye were sometimes darkness but now are ye light in the Lord walk as children of light 9 For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather __ reprove them 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light for whatsoever doth make manifest is light

14 Wherefore he saith Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly not as fools but as wise 16 Redeeming the time because the days are evil 17 Wherefore __ be ye not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is 18 And be not drunk with wine wherein __ is excess but be filled with the Spirit 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God

22 Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord 23 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 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ ">so __ let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing

25 Husbands love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word 27 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 28 ">So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies He that loveth his wife loveth himself 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh but nourisheth and cherisheth it even as __ the Lord the church 30 For we are members of his body of his flesh and of his bones 31 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 32 This is a great mystery but I speak concerning Christ and __ the church 33 Nevertheless __ let every one __ of you in particular ">so love his wife even as himself and the wife see that she reverence her husband
