riversident@Ephesians:5:1 @ BE imitators of God as beloved children

riversident@Ephesians:5:2 @ and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God yielding a fragrant odor.

riversident@Ephesians:5:3 @ Unchastity or any kind of impurity or greediness must not be mentioned among you, as befits holy people;

riversident@Ephesians:5:4 @ nor should there be indecent and foolish talk or jesting, which are unbecoming, but rather thanksgiving.

riversident@Ephesians:5:5 @ For you know well that no unchaste or impure person, no greedy person \'97 who is an idolater \'97 has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

riversident@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words; for because of these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.

riversident@Ephesians:5:7 @ Do not, then, be partakers with them.

riversident@Ephesians:5:8 @ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live like children of light \'97

riversident@Ephesians:5:9 @ for the fruit of light appears in all generosity and righteousness and truth \'97

riversident@Ephesians:5:10 @ testing what is pleasing to the Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:5:11 @ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them,

riversident@Ephesians:5:12 @ for the things that they do in secret it is shameful even to speak of.

riversident@Ephesians:5:13 @ But all things when reproved are shown truly by the light, for everything shown truly is light.

riversident@Ephesians:5:14 @ Therefore it says, "Wake, O sleeper, and rise from the dead and Christ will give you light."

riversident@Ephesians:5:15 @ Be strictly careful, then, how you live, not as unwise but as wise.

riversident@Ephesians:5:16 @ Buy up the opportunity, because these are evil days.

riversident@Ephesians:5:17 @ Therefore do not be thoughtless, but understand what is the Lord's will.

riversident@Ephesians:5:18 @ Do not be drunk with wine, in which there is profligacy, but be full of the Spirit,

riversident@Ephesians:5:19 @ speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and playing the harp heartily to the Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:5:20 @ giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.

riversident@Ephesians:5:21 @ Be subject to one another in reverence for Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:5:22 @ wives to their own husbands as in the Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:5:23 @ because a man is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church and he is the savior of the body.

riversident@Ephesians:5:24 @ But as the church is subject to Christ, so wives are to their husbands in everything.

riversident@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it,

riversident@Ephesians:5:26 @ that he might make it holy, cleansing it by the washing with water according to his word,

riversident@Ephesians:5:27 @ that he might present to himself the church glorious, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and faultless.

riversident@Ephesians:5:28 @ Thus ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself,

riversident@Ephesians:5:29 @ for no one ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,

riversident@Ephesians:5:30 @ for we are members of his body.

riversident@Ephesians:5:31 @ "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh.

riversident@Ephesians:5:32 @ "This mystery is great, but I am speaking of Christ and the church.

riversident@Ephesians:5:33 @ But each one of you must love his own wife as himself, and the wife must reverence her husband.
