KJV_Strong : Ephesians 5
1. Be[G1096] ye therefore[G3767] followers[G3402] of God[G2316] as[G5613] dear[G27] children: [G5043]
2. And[G2532] walk[G4043] in[G1722] love,[G26] as[G2531] Christ[G5547] also[G2532] hath loved[G25] us,[G2248] and[G2532] hath given[G3860] himself[G1438] for[G5228] us[G2257] an offering[G4376] and[G2532] a sacrifice[G2378] to God[G2316] for[G1519] a sweetsmelling[G2175] savor.[G3744]
3. But[G1161] fornication,[G4202] and[G2532] all[G3956] uncleanness,[G167] or[G2228] covetousness,[G4124] let it not be once named[G3366] [G3687] among[G1722] you,[G5213] as[G2531] becometh[G4241] saints;[G40]
4. Neither[G2532] filthiness,[G151] nor[G2532] foolish talking,[G3473] nor[G2228] jesting,[G2160] which are not convenient:[G433] [G3756] but[G235] rather[G3123] giving of thanks.[G2169]
5. For[G1063] this[G5124] ye know,[G2075] [G1097] that[G3754] no[G3756] whoremonger,[G4205] nor[G2228] unclean person,[G169] nor[G2228] covetous man,[G4123] who[G3739] is[G2076] an idolater,[G1496] hath[G2192] any[G3956] inheritance[G2817] in[G1722] the[G3588] kingdom[G932] of Christ[G5547] and[G2532] of God.[G2316]
6. Let no man[G3367] deceive[G538] you[G5209] with vain[G2756] words:[G3056] for[G1063] because[G1223] of these things[G5023] cometh[G2064] the[G3588] wrath[G3709] of God[G2316] upon[G1909] the[G3588] children[G5207] of disobedience.[G543]
7. Be[G1096] not[G3361] ye therefore[G3767] partakers[G4830] with them.[G846]
8. For[G1063] ye were[G2258] sometimes[G4218] darkness,[G4655] but[G1161] now[G3568] are ye light[G5457] in[G1722] the Lord:[G2962] walk[G4043] as[G5613] children[G5043] of light: [G5457]
9. (For[G1063] the[G3588] fruit[G2590] of the[G3588] Spirit[G4151] is in[G1722] all[G3956] goodness[G19] and[G2532] righteousness[G1343] and[G2532] truth;)[G225]
10. Proving[G1381] what[G5101] is[G2076] acceptable[G2101] unto the[G3588] Lord.[G2962]
11. And[G2532] have no fellowship[G4790] [G3361] with the[G3588] unfruitful[G175] works[G2041] of darkness,[G4655] but[G1161] rather[G3123] [G2532] reprove[G1651] them.
12. For[G1063] it is[G2076] a shame[G149] even[G2532] to speak[G3004] of those things which are done[G1096] of[G5259] them[G846] in secret.[G2931]
13. But[G1161] all things[G3956] that are reproved[G1651] are made manifest[G5319] by[G5259] the[G3588] light:[G5457] for[G1063] whatsoever[G3956] doth make manifest[G5319] is[G2076] light.[G5457]
14. Wherefore[G1352] he saith,[G3004]
15. See[G991] then[G3767] that[G4459] ye walk[G4043] circumspectly,[G199] not[G3361] as[G5613] fools,[G781] but[G235] as[G5613] wise,[G4680]
16. Redeeming[G1805] the[G3588] time,[G2540] because[G3754] the[G3588] days[G2250] are[G1526] evil.[G4190]
17. Wherefore[G1223] [G5124] be[G1096] ye not[G3361] unwise,[G878] but[G235] understanding[G4920] what[G5101] the[G3588] will[G2307] of the[G3588] Lord[G2962] is.
18. And[G2532] be not drunk[G3182] [G3361] with wine,[G3631] wherein[G1722] [G3739] is[G2076] excess;[G810] but[G235] be filled[G4137] with[G1722] the Spirit;[G4151]
19. Speaking[G2980] to yourselves[G1438] in psalms[G5568] and[G2532] hymns[G5215] and[G2532] spiritual[G4152] songs,[G5603] singing[G103] and[G2532] making melody[G5567] in[G1722] your[G5216] heart[G2588] to the[G3588] Lord;[G2962]
20. Giving thanks[G2168] always[G3842] for[G5228] all things[G3956] unto God[G2316] and[G2532] the Father[G3962] in[G1722] the name[G3686] of our[G2257] Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] Christ;[G5547]
21. Submitting yourselves[G5293] one to another[G240] in[G1722] the fear[G5401] of God.[G2316]
22. Wives,[G1135] submit yourselves[G5293] unto your own[G2398] husbands,[G435] as[G5613] unto the[G3588] Lord.[G2962]
23. For[G3754] the[G3588] husband[G435] is[G2076] the head[G2776] of the[G3588] wife,[G1135] even[G2532] as[G5613] Christ[G5547] is the head[G2776] of the[G3588] church:[G1577] and[G2532] he[G846] is[G2076] the savior[G4990] of the[G3588] body.[G4983]
24. Therefore[G235] as[G5618] the[G3588] church[G1577] is subject unto[G5293] Christ,[G5547] so[G3779] let the[G3588] wives[G1135] be to their own[G2398] husbands[G435] in[G1722] every thing.[G3956]
25. Husbands,[G435] love[G25] your[G1438] wives,[G1135] even as[G2531] Christ[G5547] also[G2532] loved[G25] the[G3588] church,[G1577] and[G2532] gave[G3860] himself[G1438] for[G5228] it;[G846]
26. That[G2443] he might sanctify[G37] and cleanse[G2511] it[G846] with the[G3588] washing[G3067] of water[G5204] by[G1722] the word,[G4487]
27. That[G2443] he might present[G3936] it[G846] to himself[G1438] a glorious[G1741] church,[G1577] not[G3361] having[G2192] spot,[G4695] 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. So[G3779] ought[G3784] men[G435] to love[G25] their[G1438] wives[G1135] as[G5613] their own[G1438] bodies.[G4983] He that loveth[G25] his[G1438] wife[G1135] loveth[G25] himself.[G1438]
29. For[G1063] no man[G3762] ever yet[G4218] hated[G3404] his own[G1438] flesh;[G4561] but[G235] nourisheth[G1625] and[G2532] cherisheth[G2282] it,[G846] even[G2532] as[G2531] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] the[G3588] church: [G1577]
30. For[G3754] we are[G2070] members[G3196] of his[G846] body,[G4983] of[G1537] his[G846] flesh,[G4561] and[G2532] of[G1537] his[G846] bones.[G3747]
31. For this cause[G473] [G5127] shall a man[G444] leave[G2641] his[G848] father[G3962] and[G2532] mother,[G3384] and[G2532] shall be joined[G4347] unto[G4314] his[G848] wife,[G1135] and[G2532] they two[G1417] shall be[G2071] one[G3391] flesh.[G4561]
32. This[G5124] is[G2076] a great[G3173] mystery:[G3466] but[G1161] I[G1473] speak[G3004] concerning[G1519] Christ[G5547] and[G2532] the[G3588] church.[G1577]
33. Nevertheless[G4133] let every one[G1538] of you[G5210] [G2532] in particular[G2596] [G1520] so[G3779] love[G25] his[G1438] wife[G1135] even as[G5613] himself;[G1438] and[G1161] the[G3588] wife[G1135] see that[G2443] she reverence[G5399] her husband.[G435]
