nasb @Ephesians:5:1 @Therefore be imitators of God , as beloved children ; nasb @Ephesians:5:2 @and walk in love , just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us , an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma . nasb @Ephesians:5:3 @But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you , as is proper among saints ; nasb @Ephesians:5:4 @and there must be no filthiness and silly talk , or coarse jesting , which are not fitting , but rather giving of thanks . nasb @Ephesians:5:5 @For this you know with certainty , that no immoral or impure person or covetous man , who is an idolater , has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God . nasb @Ephesians:5:6 @Let no one deceive you with empty words , for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience . nasb @Ephesians:5:7 @Therefore do not be partakers with them ; nasb @Ephesians:5:8 @for you were formerly darkness , but now you are Light in the Lord ; walk as children of Light nasb @Ephesians:5:9 @(for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth ), nasb @Ephesians:5:10 @trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord . nasb @Ephesians:5:11 @Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness , but instead even expose them ; nasb @Ephesians:5:12 @for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret . nasb @Ephesians:5:13 @But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light , for everything that becomes visible is light . nasb @Ephesians:5:14 @For this reason it says , " Awake , sleeper , And arise from the dead , And Christ will shine on you ." nasb @Ephesians:5:15 @Therefore be careful how you walk , not as unwise men but as wise , nasb @Ephesians:5:16 @making the most of your time , because the days are evil . nasb @Ephesians:5:17 @So then do not be foolish , but understand what the will of the Lord is . nasb @Ephesians:5:18 @And do not get drunk with wine , for that is dissipation , but be filled with the Spirit , nasb @Ephesians:5:19 @speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs , singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord ; nasb @Ephesians:5:20 @always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God , even the Father ; nasb @Ephesians:5:21 @and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ . nasb @Ephesians:5:22 @Wives , be subject to your own husbands , as to the Lord . nasb @Ephesians:5:23 @For the husband is the head of the wife , as Christ also is the head of the church , He Himself being the Savior of the body . nasb @Ephesians:5:24 @But as the church is subject to Christ , so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything . nasb @Ephesians:5:25 @Husbands , love your wives , just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her , nasb @Ephesians:5:26 @so that He might sanctify her , having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word , nasb @Ephesians:5:27 @that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory , having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing ; but that she would be holy and blameless . nasb @Ephesians:5:28 @So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies . He who loves his own wife loves himself ; nasb @Ephesians:5:29 @for no one ever hated his own flesh , but nourishes and cherishes it , just as Christ also does the church , nasb @Ephesians:5:30 @because we are members of His body . nasb @Ephesians:5:31 @FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE , AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH . nasb @Ephesians:5:32 @This mystery is great ; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church . nasb @Ephesians:5:33 @Nevertheless , each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself , and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband .
