Ephesians:5:1-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Be (
5737 )
ye therefore followers of God ,
as dear children ;
*
And walk (
5720 )
in love ,
as Christ also hath loved (
5656 )
us ,
and hath given (
5656 )
himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour .
*
But fornication ,
and all uncleanness ,
or covetousness ,
let it not be once named (
5744 )
among you ,
as becometh (
5719 )
saints ;
*
Neither filthiness ,
nor foolish talking ,
nor jesting ,
which are not convenient (
5723 ):
but rather giving of thanks .
*
For this ye know (
5748 ) (
5723 ),
that no whoremonger ,
nor unclean person ,
nor covetous man ,
who is (
5748 )
an idolater ,
hath (
5719 )
any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God .
*
Let no man deceive (
5720 )
you with vain words :
for because of these things cometh (
5736 )
the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience .
*
Be not ye (
5737 )
therefore partakers with them .
*
For ye were (
5713 )
sometimes darkness ,
but now are ye light in the Lord :
walk (
5720 )
as children of light :
* (
For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth ;)
*
Proving (
5723 )
what is (
5748 )
acceptable unto the Lord .
*
And have no fellowship (
5720 )
with the unfruitful works of darkness ,
but rather reprove (
5720 )
them .
*
For it is (
5748 )
a shame even to speak (
5721 )
of those things which are done (
5740 )
of them in secret .
*
But all things that are reproved (
5746 )
are made manifest (
5743 )
by the light :
for whatsoever doth make manifest (
5746 )
is (
5748 )
light .
*
Wherefore he saith (
5719 ),
Awake thou (
5669 )
that sleepest (
5723 ),
and arise (
5628 )
from the dead ,
and Christ shall give thee light (
5692 ).
*
See (
5720 )
then that ye walk (
5719 )
circumspectly ,
not as fools ,
but as wise ,
*
Redeeming (
5734 )
the time ,
because the days are (
5748 )
evil .
*
Wherefore be ye (
5737 )
not unwise ,
but understanding (
5723 )
what the will of the Lord is .
*
And be not drunk (
5745 )
with wine ,
wherein is (
5748 )
excess ;
but be filled (
5744 )
with the Spirit ;
*
Speaking (
5723 )
to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs ,
singing (
5723 )
and making melody (
5723 )
in your heart to the Lord ;
*
Giving thanks (
5723 )
always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ;
*
Submitting yourselves (
5746 )
one to another in the fear of God .
*
Wives ,
submit yourselves (
5732 )
unto your own husbands ,
as unto the Lord .
*
For the husband is (
5748 )
the head of the wife ,
even as Christ is the head of the church :
and he is (
5748 )
the saviour of the body .
*
Therefore as the church is subject (
5743 )
unto Christ ,
so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing .
*
Husbands ,
love (
5720 )
your wives ,
even as Christ also loved (
5656 )
the church ,
and gave (
5656 )
himself for it ;
