Chapter 5
1Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children,
(Hebrew unavailable)
2and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God.
(Hebrew unavailable)
3But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed.
(Hebrew unavailable)
4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving.
(Hebrew unavailable)
5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
(Hebrew unavailable)
6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
(Hebrew unavailable)
7Therefore do not be partakers with them.
(Hebrew unavailable)
8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
(Hebrew unavailable)
9for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.
(Hebrew unavailable)
10Test and prove what pleases the Lord.
(Hebrew unavailable)
11Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
(Hebrew unavailable)
12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
(Hebrew unavailable)
13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself.
(Hebrew unavailable)
14So it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
15Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,
(Hebrew unavailable)
16redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
(Hebrew unavailable)
17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
(Hebrew unavailable)
18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
(Hebrew unavailable)
19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord,
(Hebrew unavailable)
20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
21Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
(Hebrew unavailable)
23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior.
(Hebrew unavailable)
24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
(Hebrew unavailable)
25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her
(Hebrew unavailable)
26to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
(Hebrew unavailable)
27and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
(Hebrew unavailable)
28In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
(Hebrew unavailable)
29Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.
(Hebrew unavailable)
30For we are members of His body.
(Hebrew unavailable)
31“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
32This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church.
(Hebrew unavailable)
33Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
(Hebrew unavailable)
