ASV_Strong : Ephesians 5
1. Be ye[G1096] therefore[G3767] imitators[G3402] of God[G2316], as[G5613] beloved[G27] children[G5043];
2. and[G2532] walk[G4043] in[G1722] love[G26], even as[G2531] Christ[G5547] also[G2532] loved[G25] you[G2248], and[G2532] gave[G3860] himself[G1438] up for[G5228] us[G2257], an offering[G4376] and[G2532] a sacrifice[G2378] to God[G2316] for[G1519] an odor[G3744] of a sweet smell[G3744].
3. But[G1161] fornication[G4202], and[G2532] all[G3956] uncleanness[G167], or[G2228] covetousness[G4124], let it[G3687] not even[G3366] be named[G3687] among[G1722] you[G5213], as[G2531] becometh[G4241] saints[G40];
4. nor[G2532] filthiness[G151], nor[G2532] foolish talking[G3473], or[G2228] jesting[G2160], which[G3588] are[G433] not[G3756] befitting[G433]: but[G235] rather[G3123] giving of thanks[G2169].
5. For[G1063] this[G5124] ye know[G1097] of a surety[G2075], that[G3754] no[G3956] fornicator[G4205], nor[G2228] unclean person[G169], nor[G2228] covetous man[G4123], who[G3739] is[G2076] an idolater[G1496], hath[G2192] any[G3756] inheritance[G2817] in[G1722] the kingdom[G932] of Christ[G5547] and[G2532] God[G2316].
6. Let[G538] no man[G3367] deceive[G538] you[G5209] with[G1223] empty[G2756] words[G3056]: for because of[G1063] these things[G5023] cometh[G2064] the wrath[G3709] of God[G2316] upon[G1909] the sons[G5207] of disobedience[G543].
7. Be[G1096] not[G3361] ye[G1096] therefore[G3767] partakers[G4830] with them[G846];
8. For[G1063] ye were[G2258] once[G4218] darkness[G4655], but[G1161] are now[G3568] light[G5457] in[G1722] the Lord[G2962]: walk[G4043] as[G5613] children[G5043] of light[G5457]
9. (for[G1063] the fruit[G2590] of the light[G4151] is in[G1722] all[G3956] goodness[G19] and[G2532] righteousness[G1343] and[G2532] truth[G225]),
10. proving[G1381] what[G5101] is[G2076] well-pleasing[G2101] unto the Lord[G2962];
11. and[G2532] have[G4790] no[G3361] fellowship[G4790] with the unfruitful[G175] works[G2041] of darkness[G4655], but[G1161] rather[G3123] even[G2532] reprove them[G1651];
12. for[G1063] the things which[G3588] are done[G1096] by them[G846] in secret[G2931] it is[G2076] a shame[G150] even[G2532] to speak[G3004] of[G5259].
13. But[G1161] all things[G3956] when[G3588] they are reproved[G1651] are made manifest[G5319] by[G5259] the light[G5457]: for[G1063] everything[G3956] that is made manifest[G5319] is[G2076] light[G5457].
14. Wherefore[G1352] he saith[G3004], Awake[G1453], thou that[G3588] sleepest[G2518], and[G2532] arise[G450] from[G1537] the dead[G3498], and[G2532] Christ[G5547] shall shine[G2017] upon[G2017] thee[G4671].
15. Look[G991] therefore[G3767] carefully[G199] how[G4459] ye walk[G4043], not[G3361] as[G5613] unwise[G781], but[G235] as[G5613] wise[G4680];
16. redeeming[G1805] the time[G2540], because[G3754] the days[G2250] are[G1526] evil[G4190].
17. Wherefore[G5124] be ye[G1096] not[G3361] foolish[G878], but[G235] understand[G4920] what[G5101] the will[G2307] of the Lord is[G2962].
18. And[G2532] be[G3182] not[G3361] drunken[G3182] with[G1722] wine[G3631], wherein[G3739] is[G2076] riot[G810], but[G235] be filled[G4137] with[G1722] the Spirit[G4151];
19. speaking[G2980] one to another[G1438] in psalms[G5568] and[G2532] hymns[G5215] and[G2532] spiritual[G4152] songs[G5603], singing[G103] and[G2532] making melody[G5567] with[G1722] your[G5216] heart[G2588] to the Lord[G2962];
20. giving thanks[G2168] always[G3842] for[G5228] all things[G3956] in[G1722] the name[G3686] of our[G2257] Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547] to God[G2316], even[G2532] the Father[G3962];
21. subjecting[G5293] yourselves one to another[G240] in[G1722] the fear[G5401] of Christ[G2316].
22. Wives[G1135], be in subjection unto[G5293] your own[G2398] husbands[G435], as[G5613] unto the Lord[G2962].
23. For[G3754] the husband[G435] is[G2076] the head[G2776] of the wife[G1135], as[G5613] Christ also[G2532] is[G5547] the head[G2776] of the church[G1577], being[G2532] himself[G846] the[G2076] saviour[G4990] of the body[G4983].
24. But[G235] as[G5618] the church[G1577] is subject to[G5293] Christ[G2532], so[G3779] let the wives[G1135] also be to their[G2398] husbands[G435] in[G1722] everything[G3956].
25. Husbands[G435], love[G25] your[G1438] wives[G1135], even as[G2531] Christ[G5547] also[G2532] loved[G25] the church[G1577], and[G2532] gave[G3860] himself[G1438] up for[G5228] it[G846];
26. that[G2443] he[G846] might sanctify[G37] it[G2511], having cleansed it by the washing[G3067] of water[G5204] with[G1722] the word[G4487],
27. that[G2443] he might present[G3936] the church[G846] to himself[G1438] a glorious[G1741] church[G1577], not[G3361] having[G2192] spot[G4696] or[G2228] wrinkle[G4512] or[G2228] any[G5100] such thing[G5108]; but[G235] that[G2443] it should be[G5600] holy[G40] and[G2532] without blemish[G299].
28. Even so[G3779] ought[G3784] husbands[G435] also to love[G25] their[G1438] own wives[G1135] as[G5613] their own[G1438] bodies[G4983]. He that[G3588] loveth[G25] his[G1438] own wife[G1135] loveth[G25] himself[G1438]:
29. for[G1063] no man[G3762] ever[G4218] hated[G3404] his own[G1438] flesh[G4561]; but[G235] nourisheth[G1625] and[G2532] cherisheth[G2282] it[G846], even[G2532] as[G2531] Christ[G2962] also the church[G1577];
30. because[G3754] we are[G2070] members[G3196] of his[G846] body[G4983].
31. For[G473] this cause[G5127] shall[G2641] a man[G444] leave[G2641] his[G846] father[G3962] and[G2532] mother[G3384], and[G2532] shall cleave[G4347] to[G4314] his[G846] wife[G1135]; and[G2532] the two[G1417] shall[G2071] become[G1519] one[G1520] flesh[G4561].
32. This[G5124] mystery[G3466] is[G2076] great[G3173]: but[G1161] I[G1473] speak[G3004] in regard[G1519] of Christ[G5547] and[G2532] of[G1519] the church[G1577].
33. Nevertheless[G4133] do[G25, 2596] ye also[G2532] severally[G1538, 3779] love[G25] each one[G1520] his[G1438] own wife[G1135] even as[G5613] himself[G1438]; and[G1161] let the wife[G1135] see that[G2443] she fear[G5399] her husband[G435].
