1 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; ASV — Ephesians 5:1
2 and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell. ASV — Ephesians 5:2
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints; ASV — Ephesians 5:3
4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks. ASV — Ephesians 5:4
5 For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ASV — Ephesians 5:5
6 Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience. ASV — Ephesians 5:6
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them; ASV — Ephesians 5:7
8 For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light ASV — Ephesians 5:8
9 (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth), ASV — Ephesians 5:9
10 proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord; ASV — Ephesians 5:10
11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them; ASV — Ephesians 5:11
12 for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of. ASV — Ephesians 5:12
13 But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light. ASV — Ephesians 5:13
14 Wherefore [he] saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee. ASV — Ephesians 5:14
15 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; ASV — Ephesians 5:15
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ASV — Ephesians 5:16
17 Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. ASV — Ephesians 5:17
18 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; ASV — Ephesians 5:18
19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; ASV — Ephesians 5:19
20 giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; ASV — Ephesians 5:20
21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ. ASV — Ephesians 5:21
22 Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. ASV — Ephesians 5:22
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, [being] himself the saviour of the body. ASV — Ephesians 5:23
24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything. ASV — Ephesians 5:24
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; ASV — Ephesians 5:25
26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, ASV — Ephesians 5:26
27 that he might present the church to himself a glorious [church], not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. ASV — Ephesians 5:27
28 Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself: ASV — Ephesians 5:28
29 for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church; ASV — Ephesians 5:29
30 because we are members of his body. ASV — Ephesians 5:30
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. ASV — Ephesians 5:31
32 This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church. ASV — Ephesians 5:32
33 Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and [let] the wife [see] that she fear her husband. ASV — Ephesians 5:33
