rkjnt - Ephesians:4:17-5:21

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:17 @ This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as other Gentiles walk, in the futility of their minds,

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:18 @ Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts:

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:19 @ Who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to licentiousness, greedy to practice all kinds of uncleanness.

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:20 @ But you did not learn Christ that way;

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:21 @ If indeed you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus,

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:22 @ Then put off the old man, which belongs to your former life, which is corrupt through deceitful lusts;

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:23 @ And be renewed in the spirit of your minds;

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:24 @ And put on the new man, who, in the likeness of God, is created in true righteousness and holiness.

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, putting away lying, let every man speak the truth with his neighbour: for we are members of one another.

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:26 @ Be angry, and do not sin: do not let the sun go down upon your wrath:

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:27 @ Give no opportunity to the devil.

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:28 @ Let him who stole, steal no more: but rather let him labour, doing with his hands that which is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no corrupt words proceed out of your mouth, but only that which is good for edifying, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:30 @ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption.

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:31 @ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and quarreling, and slander, be put away from you, along with all types of malice:

rkjnt@Ephesians:4:32 @ And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ has forgiven you.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be imitators of God, as dear children;

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:2 @ And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet smelling aroma to God.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:3 @ But sexual immorality, and all impurity, or covetousness, must not even be named among you, as is befitting saints;

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:4 @ Nor let there be filthiness, or foolish talk, or coarse jesting, which are not proper: but rather giving of thanks.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:5 @ For this you know: that no sexually immoral or impure person, or covetous man, (for such a man is an idolater,) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:7 @ Therefore, do not be partakers with them.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:8 @ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light;

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:9 @ (For the fruit of the Spirit consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:10 @ And try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:11 @ Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them,

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:12 @ For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by the disobedient in secret.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:13 @ But all things that are exposed by the light become visible: for everything that is made visible is light.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:14 @ Therefore he says, Awaken, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:15 @ See then that you walk carefully, not as fools, but as wise men,

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:16 @ Making the most of the time, because the days are evil.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:17 @ Therefore, do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:18 @ And do not be drunk with wine, which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit;

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:19 @ Speaking to one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:20 @ Always giving thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

rkjnt@Ephesians:5:21 @ Submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
