CHAP. V. / 2 After generall exhortations, to loue, 3 to flie fornication, 4 and all vncleannesse, 7 not to conuerse with the wicked, 15 to walke warily, and to be 18 filled with the spirit, 22 he desc

1Be ye therefore followers of God, as deare children.Select Ephesians 5:1

2And walke in love, as Christ also hath loued vs, and hath giuen himselfe for vs, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling sauour;Select Ephesians 5:2

3But fornication and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named amongst you, as becommeth Saints:Select Ephesians 5:3

4Neither filthinesse, nor foolish talking, talking, nor iesting, which are not conuenient: but rather giuing of thankes.Select Ephesians 5:4

5For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor vncleane person, nor couetous man who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdome of Christ, and of God.Select Ephesians 5:5

6Let no man deceiue you with vaine words: for because of these things commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of disobedience.Select Ephesians 5:6

7Bee not yee therefore partakers with them.Select Ephesians 5:7

8For yee were sometimes darkenesse, but now are yee light in the Lord: walke as children of light,Select Ephesians 5:8

9(For the fruite of the spirit is in all goodnesse and righteousnesse & trueth.)Select Ephesians 5:9

10Proouing what is acceptable vnto the Lord:Select Ephesians 5:10

11And haue no fellowship with the vnfruitfull workes of darkenesse, but rather reproue them.Select Ephesians 5:11

12For it is a shame euen to speake of those things which are done of them in secret.Select Ephesians 5:12

13But all things that are reprooued, are made manifest by the light: for whatsoeuer doth make manifest, light.Select Ephesians 5:13

14Wherfore hee saith: Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall giue thee light.Select Ephesians 5:14

15See then that yee walke circumspectly, not as fooles, but as wise,Select Ephesians 5:15

16Redeming the time, because the dayes are euill.Select Ephesians 5:16

17Wherefore be ye not vnwise, but vnderstanding what the will of the Lord is.Select Ephesians 5:17

18And bee not drunke with wine, wherein is excesse: but bee filled with the Spirit:Select Ephesians 5:18

19Speaking to your selues, in Psalmes, and Hymnes, and Spirituall songs, singing and making melodie in your heart to the Lord,Select Ephesians 5:19

20Giuing thankes alwayes for all things vnto God, and the Father, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ,Select Ephesians 5:20

21Submitting your selues one to another in the feare of God.Select Ephesians 5:21

22Wiues, submit your selues vnto your own husbands, as vnto the Lord.Select Ephesians 5:22

23For the husband is the head of the wife, euen as Christ is the head of the Church: and he is the sauiour of the body.Select Ephesians 5:23

24Therefore as the Church is subiect vnto Christ, so let the wiues bee to their owne husbands in euery thing.Select Ephesians 5:24

25Husbands, loue your wiues, euen as Christ also loued the Church, and gaue himselfe for it:Select Ephesians 5:25

26That he might sanctifie & cleanse it with the washing of water, by the word,Select Ephesians 5:26

27That hee might present it to himselfe a glorious Church, not hauing spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should bee holy and without blemish.Select Ephesians 5:27

28So ought men to loue their wiues, as their owne bodies: hee that loueth his wife, loueth himselfe.Select Ephesians 5:28

29For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh: but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord the Church:Select Ephesians 5:29

30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.Select Ephesians 5:30

31For this cause shall a man leaue his father and mother, and shall be ioyned vnto his wife, and they two shalbe one flesh.Select Ephesians 5:31

32This is a great mysterie: but I speake concerning Christ and the Church.Select Ephesians 5:32

33Neuerthelesse, let euery one of you in particular, so loue his wife euen as himselfe, and the wife see that she reuerence her husband.Select Ephesians 5:33
