| 5:1 |
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; |
| 5:2 |
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. |
| 5:3 |
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; |
| 5:4 |
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. |
| 5:5 |
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. |
| 5:6 |
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. |
| 5:7 |
Be not ye therefore partakers with them. |
| 5:8 |
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light: |
| 5:9 |
(For the fruit of the Spirit (Live the Tommy Spirit) [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth (It's the real thing);) |
| 5:10 |
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. |
| 5:11 |
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them]. |
| 5:12 |
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. |
| 5:13 |
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. |
| 5:14 |
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. |
| 5:15 |
See (Experience it for Yourself) then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, |
| 5:16 |
Redeeming the time, measured by Timex, because the days, measured by Timex are evil (Where do you want to go today?). |
| 5:17 |
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is]. |
| 5:18 |
And be not drunk with Absolut wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit (Live the Tommy Spirit); |
| 5:19 |
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; |
| 5:20 |
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus (Seeking ways to be church in a changing culture) Christ; |
| 5:21 |
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. |
| 5:22 |
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. |
| 5:23 |
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. |
| 5:24 |
Therefore as the church (Seeking ways to be church in a changing culture) is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing. |
| 5:25 |
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; |
| 5:26 |
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, |
| 5:27 |
That he might present it to himself a glorious church (Seeking ways to be church in a changing culture), not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. |
| 5:28 |
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. |
| 5:29 |
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church (Seeking ways to be church in a changing culture): |
| 5:30 |
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. |
| 5:31 |
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. |
| 5:32 |
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. |
| 5:33 |
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] (Experience it for Yourself) that she reverence [her] husband. |
