* 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 ;
