Ephesians 5 WBS — Ephesians 5

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; WBS — Ephesians 5:1

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 sweet-smelling savor. WBS — Ephesians 5:2

3 But lewdness and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; WBS — Ephesians 5:3

4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. WBS — Ephesians 5:4

5 For this ye know, that no lewd, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. WBS — Ephesians 5:5

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. WBS — Ephesians 5:6

7 Be ye not therefore partakers with them. WBS — Ephesians 5:7

8 For ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light; WBS — Ephesians 5:8

9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth;) WBS — Ephesians 5:9

10 Proving what is acceptable to the Lord. WBS — Ephesians 5:10

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. WBS — Ephesians 5:11

12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. WBS — Ephesians 5:12

13 But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light. WBS — Ephesians 5:13

14 Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light. WBS — Ephesians 5:14

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, WBS — Ephesians 5:15

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. WBS — Ephesians 5:16

17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. WBS — Ephesians 5:17

18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; WBS — Ephesians 5:18

19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, WBS — Ephesians 5:19

20 Giving thanks always for all things to God and the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; WBS — Ephesians 5:20

21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. WBS — Ephesians 5:21

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord. WBS — Ephesians 5:22

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Savior of the body. WBS — Ephesians 5:23

24 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in every thing. WBS — Ephesians 5:24

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; WBS — Ephesians 5:25

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, WBS — Ephesians 5:26

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. WBS — Ephesians 5:27

28 So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. WBS — Ephesians 5:28

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: WBS — Ephesians 5:29

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. WBS — Ephesians 5:30

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. WBS — Ephesians 5:31

32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. WBS — Ephesians 5:32

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. WBS — Ephesians 5:33
