Ephesians:5-6
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 ;
*
That he might sanctify (
5661 )
and cleanse it (
5660 )
with the washing of water by the word ,
*
That he might present (
5661 )
it to himself a glorious church ,
not having (
5723 )
spot ,
or wrinkle ,
or any such thing ;
but that it should be (
5753 )
holy and without blemish .
*
So ought (
5719 )
men to love (
5721 )
their wives as their own bodies .
He that loveth (
5723 )
his wife loveth (
5719 )
himself .
*
For no man ever yet hated (
5656 )
his own flesh ;
but nourisheth (
5719 )
and cherisheth (
5719 )
it ,
even as the Lord the church :
*
For we are (
5748 )
members of his body ,
of his flesh ,
and of his bones .
*
For this cause shall a man leave (
5692 )
his father and mother ,
and shall be joined (
5701 )
unto his wife ,
and they two shall be (
5704 )
one flesh .
*
This is (
5748 )
a great mystery :
but I speak (
5719 )
concerning Christ and the church .
*
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love (
5720 )
his wife even as himself ;
and the wife see that she reverence (
5741 )
her husband .
*
Children ,
obey (
5720 )
your parents in the Lord :
for this is (
5748 )
right .
*
Honour (
5720 )
thy father and mother ; (
which is (
5748 )
the first commandment with promise ;)
*
That it may be (
5638 )
well with thee ,
and thou mayest (
5704 )
live long on the earth .
*
And ,
ye fathers ,
provoke not your children to wrath (
5720 ):
but bring them up (
5720 )
in the nurture and admonition of the Lord .
*
Servants ,
be obedient (
5720 )
to them that are your masters according to the flesh ,
with fear and trembling ,
in singleness of your heart ,
as unto Christ ;
*
Not with eyeservice ,
as menpleasers ;
but as the servants of Christ ,
doing (
5723 )
the will of God from the heart ;
*
With good will doing service (
5723 ),
as to the Lord ,
and not to men :
*
Knowing (
5761 )
that whatsoever good thing any man doeth (
5661 ),
the same shall he receive (
5695 )
of the Lord ,
whether he be bond or free .
*
And ,
ye masters ,
do (
5720 )
the same things unto them ,
forbearing (
5723 )
threatening :
knowing (
5761 )
that your Master also is (
5748 )
in heaven ;
neither is there (
5748 )
respect of persons with him .
*
Finally ,
my brethren ,
be strong (
5744 )
in the Lord ,
and in the power of his might .
*
Put on (
5669 )
the whole armour of God ,
that ye may be able (
5738 )
to stand (
5629 )
against the wiles of the devil .
*
For we wrestle not against (
5748 )
flesh and blood ,
but against principalities ,
against powers ,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world ,
against spiritual wickedness in high places .
*
Wherefore take unto you (
5628 )
the whole armour of God ,
that ye may be able (
5667 )
to withstand (
5629 )
in the evil day ,
and having done (
5666 )
all ,
to stand (
5629 ).
*
Stand (
5628 )
therefore ,
having your loins girt about (
5671 )
with truth ,
and having on (
5671 )
the breastplate of righteousness ;
*
And your feet shod (
5671 )
with the preparation of the gospel of peace ;
*
Above all ,
taking (
5631 )
the shield of faith ,
wherewith ye shall be able (
5695 )
to quench (
5658 )
all the fiery (
5772 )
darts of the wicked .
*
And take (
5663 )
the helmet of salvation ,
and the sword of the Spirit ,
which is (
5748 )
the word of God :
*
Praying (
5740 )
always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit ,
and watching (
5723 )
thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints ;
*
And for me ,
that utterance may be given (
5684 )
unto me ,
that I may open my mouth boldly ,
to make known (
5658 )
the mystery of the gospel ,
*
For which I am an ambassador (
5719 )
in bonds :
that therein I may speak boldly (
5667 ),
as I ought (
5748 )
to speak (
5658 ).
*
But that ye also may know (
5762 )
my affairs ,
and how I do (
5719 ),
Tychicus ,
a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord ,
shall make known (
5692 )
to you all things :
*
Whom I have sent (
5656 )
unto you for the same purpose ,
that ye might know (
5632 )
our affairs ,
and that he might comfort (
5661 )
your hearts .
*
Peace be to the brethren ,
and love with faith ,
from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ .
*
Grace be with all them that love (
5723 )
our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity .
Amen .

Grace be with you .
Amen .
