1<\/sup>Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children;<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints:<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Be ye not therefore partakers with them.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>For the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth;<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Proving what is well pleasing to God:<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>Wherefore he saith: Rise thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise,<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>Wherefore become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury; but be ye filled with the holy Spirit,<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord;<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father:<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:<\/span> <\/p>\n 23<\/sup>Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.<\/span> <\/p>\n 24<\/sup>Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.<\/span> <\/p>\n 25<\/sup>Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it:<\/span> <\/p>\n 26<\/sup>That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:<\/span> <\/p>\n 27<\/sup>That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any; such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish.<\/span> <\/p>\n 28<\/sup>So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.<\/span> <\/p>\n 29<\/sup>For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:<\/span> <\/p>\n 30<\/sup>Because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.<\/span> <\/p>\n 31<\/sup>For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.<\/span> <\/p>\n 32<\/sup>This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church.<\/span> <\/p>\n 33<\/sup>Nevertheless let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: and let the wife fear her husband.<\/span> <\/p>\n
