1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children. NHEB — Ephesians 5:1
2 And walk in love, even as Christ also loved us, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance. NHEB — Ephesians 5:2
3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints; NHEB — Ephesians 5:3
4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks. NHEB — Ephesians 5:4
5 Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral or impure or greedy person, that is, an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God. NHEB — Ephesians 5:5
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience. NHEB — Ephesians 5:6
7 Therefore do not be partakers with them. NHEB — Ephesians 5:7
8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, NHEB — Ephesians 5:8
9 for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth, NHEB — Ephesians 5:9
10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord. NHEB — Ephesians 5:10
11 Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them. NHEB — Ephesians 5:11
12 For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. NHEB — Ephesians 5:12
13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light. NHEB — Ephesians 5:13
14 Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." NHEB — Ephesians 5:14
15 Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise; NHEB — Ephesians 5:15
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. NHEB — Ephesians 5:16
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. NHEB — Ephesians 5:17
18 Do not get drunk with wine, which is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, NHEB — Ephesians 5:18
19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your heart to the Lord; NHEB — Ephesians 5:19
20 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father; NHEB — Ephesians 5:20
21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ. NHEB — Ephesians 5:21
22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. NHEB — 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 savior of the body. NHEB — Ephesians 5:23
24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything. NHEB — Ephesians 5:24
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; NHEB — Ephesians 5:25
26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, NHEB — Ephesians 5:26
27 that he might present the church to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. NHEB — Ephesians 5:27
28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. NHEB — Ephesians 5:28
29 For no one ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also does the church; NHEB — Ephesians 5:29
30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. NHEB — Ephesians 5:30
31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." NHEB — Ephesians 5:31
32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the church. NHEB — Ephesians 5:32
33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband. NHEB — Ephesians 5:33
