1 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children, DBY — Ephesians 5:1
2 and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour. DBY — Ephesians 5:2
3 But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints; DBY — Ephesians 5:3
4 and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving. DBY — Ephesians 5:4
5 For this ye are [well] informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God. DBY — Ephesians 5:5
6 Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. DBY — Ephesians 5:6
7 Be not ye therefore fellow-partakers with them; DBY — Ephesians 5:7
8 for ye were once darkness, but now light in [the] Lord; walk as children of light, DBY — Ephesians 5:8
9 (for the fruit of the light [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth,) DBY — Ephesians 5:9
10 proving what is agreeable to the Lord; DBY — Ephesians 5:10
11 and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove [them], DBY — Ephesians 5:11
12 for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say. DBY — Ephesians 5:12
13 But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light. DBY — Ephesians 5:13
14 Wherefore he says, Wake up, [thou] that sleepest, and arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee. DBY — Ephesians 5:14
15 See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise, DBY — Ephesians 5:15
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. DBY — Ephesians 5:16
17 For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what [is] the will of the Lord. DBY — Ephesians 5:17
18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, DBY — Ephesians 5:18
19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord; DBY — Ephesians 5:19
20 giving thanks at all times for all things to him [who is] God and [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, DBY — Ephesians 5:20
21 submitting yourselves to one another in [the] fear of Christ. DBY — Ephesians 5:21
22 Wives, [submit yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the Lord, DBY — Ephesians 5:22
23 for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly. *He* [is] Saviour of the body. DBY — Ephesians 5:23
24 But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything. DBY — Ephesians 5:24
25 Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it, DBY — Ephesians 5:25
26 in order that he might sanctify it, purifying [it] by the washing of water by [the] word, DBY — Ephesians 5:26
27 that *he* might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless. DBY — Ephesians 5:27
28 So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself. DBY — Ephesians 5:28
29 For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly: DBY — Ephesians 5:29
30 for we are members of his body; [we are of his flesh, and of his bones.] DBY — Ephesians 5:30
31 Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. DBY — Ephesians 5:31
32 This mystery is great, but *I* speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly. DBY — Ephesians 5:32
33 But *ye* also, every one of you, let each so love his own wife as himself; but as to the wife [I speak] that she may fear the husband. DBY — Ephesians 5:33
