corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
[23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
[24] And that ye
put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
[25] Wherefore putting
away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
[26] Be ye
angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
[27] Neither give place to the devil.
[28] Let
him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good,
that he may have to give to him that needeth.
[29] Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your
mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
[30]
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
[31] Let all
bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
[32]
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath
forgiven you.
Eph.5
[1] Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
[2] And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved
us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
[3] But
fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh
saints;
[4] Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving
of thanks.
[5] For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is
an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
[6] Let no man deceive you with
vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
[7]
Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
[8] For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in
the Lord: walk as children of light:
[9] (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and
truth;)
[10] Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
[11] And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works
of darkness, but rather reprove them.
[12] For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are
done of them in secret.
[13] But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever
doth make manifest is light.
[14] Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light.
[15] See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
[16]
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
[17] Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding
what the will of the Lord is.
[18] And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
[19]
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your
heart to the Lord;
[20] Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ;
[21] Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
[22] Wives, submit yourselves
unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
[23] For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ
is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
[24] Therefore as the church is subject unto
Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
[25] Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
[26] That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the
washing of water by the word,
[27] 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.
[28] So ought men to love
their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
[29] For no man ever yet hated
his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
[30] For we are members
of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
[31] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
[32] This is a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the church.
[33] Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife
even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Eph.6
[1] Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
[2] Honour thy father and mother; (which is
the first commandment with promise;)
[3] That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on
the earth.
[4] And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord.
[5] Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh,
with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
[6] Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but
as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
[7] With good will doing service, as to
