Therefore G3767 be imitators G3402 of God G2316, as beloved G27 children G5043;

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:2 - and walk G4043 in love G26, just G2531 as G2531 Christ G5547 also G2532 loved G25 [fn]you and gave G3860 Himself G1438 up G3860 for us, an offering G4376 and a sacrifice G2378 to God G2316 [fn]as a fragrant G2175 aroma G3744.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:3 -

But sexual G4202 immorality G4202 [fn]or G2532 any G3956 impurity G167 or G2228 greed G4124 must not even G3366 be mentioned G3687 among G1722 you, as is proper G4241 among [fn]saints G40;

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:4 - and there must be no filthiness G151 [fn]or foolish G3473 talk G3473, or G2228 vulgar G2160 joking G2160, which G3739 are not fitting G433, but rather G3123 giving G2169 of G2169 thanks G2169.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:5 - For this G3778 you know G6063 with certainty G1097, that no G3756 G3956 sexually G4205 immoral G4205 or G2228 [fn]impure G169 or G2228 greedy G4123 person G4123, which G3739 [fn]amounts to an idolater G1496, has G2192 an inheritance G2817 in the kingdom G932 of Christ G5547 and God G2316.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:6 -

See that no G3367 one G3367 deceives G538 you with empty G2756 words G3056, for because G1223 of these G3778 things G3778 the wrath G3709 of God G2316 comes G2064 upon the [fn]sons G5207 of disobedience G543.

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:7 - Therefore G3767 do not become G1096 partners G4830 with them;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:8 - for you were once G4218 darkness G4655, but now G3568 you are light G5457 in the Lord G2962; walk G4043 as children G5043 of light G5457
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:9 - (for the fruit G2590 of the light G5457 consists in all G3956 goodness G19, righteousness G1343, and truth G225),
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:10 - [fn]as you try G1381 to G1381 learn G1381 what G5101 is pleasing G2101 to the Lord G2962.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:11 - Do not participate G4790 in the useless G175 deeds G2041 of darkness G4655, but instead G3123 even G2532 expose G1651 them;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:12 - for it is disgraceful G150 even G2532 to speak G3004 of the things which are done G1096 by them in G2931 secret G2931.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:13 - But all G3956 things G3956 become G5319 visible G5319 when they are exposed G1651 by the light G5457, for everything G3956 that becomes G5319 visible G5319 is light G5457.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:14 - For this G1352 reason G1352 [fn]it says G3004,

“Awake G1453, sleeper G2518,

And arise G450 from the dead G3498,

And Christ G5547 will shine G2017 on G2017 you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:15 -

So G3767 then G3767, [fn]be careful G991 G199 how G4459 you walk G4043, not as unwise G781 people G781 but as wise G4680,

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:16 - [fn]making G1805 the G1805 most G1805 of G1805 your time G2540, because G3754 the days G2250 are evil G4190.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:17 - Therefore G1223 G3778 do not be foolish G878, but understand G4920 what G5101 the will G2307 of the Lord G2962 is.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:18 - And do not get G3182 drunk G3182 with wine G3631, [fn]in which there is debauchery G810, but be filled G4137 with the Spirit G4151,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:19 - speaking G2980 to [fn]one G1438 another G1438 in psalms G5568 and hymns G5215 and spiritual G4152 songs G5603, singing G103 and making G5567 melody G5567 with your hearts G2588 to the Lord G2962;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:20 - always G3842 giving G2168 thanks G2168 for all G3956 things G3956 in the name G3686 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 to our God G2316 and Father G3962;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:21 - [fn]and subject G5293 yourselves G5293 to one G240 another G240 in the [fn]fear G5401 of Christ G5547.

Marriage like Christ and the Church

(cf. Col 3:18, 19 )
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:22 -

Wives G1135, subject yourselves to your own G2398 husbands G435, as to the Lord G2962.

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:23 - For the husband G435 is the head G2776 of the wife G1135, as Christ G5547 also G2532 is the head G2776 of the church G1577, He Himself G846 being the Savior G4990 of the body G4983.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:24 - But as the church G1577 is G5293 subject G5293 to Christ G5547, so G3779 also G2532 the wives G1135 ought to be to their husbands G435 in everything G3956.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:25 -

Husbands G435, love G25 your wives G1135, just G2531 as G2531 Christ G5547 also G2532 loved G25 the church G1577 and gave G3860 Himself G1438 up G3860 for her,

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:26 - so G2443 that G2443 He might sanctify G37 her, having cleansed G2511 her by the washing G3067 of water G5204 with the word G4487,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:27 - that He might present G3936 to Himself G1438 the church G1577 [fn]in all G1741 her glory G1741, having G2192 no G3361 spot G4696 or G2228 wrinkle G4512 or G2228 any G5100 such G5108 thing G5108; but that she would be holy G40 and blameless G299.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:28 - So G3779 husbands G435 also G2532 ought G3784 to love G25 their own G1438 wives G1135 as their own G1438 bodies G4983. He who loves G25 his own G1438 wife G1135 loves G25 himself G1438;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:29 - for no G3762 one G3762 ever G4218 hated G3404 his own G1438 flesh G4561, but nourishes G1625 and cherishes G2282 it, just G2531 as G2531 Christ G5547 also G2532 does the church G1577,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:30 - because G3754 we are parts G3196 of His body G4983.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:31 - FOR THIS G3778 REASON G473 A MAN G444 SHALL LEAVE G2641 HIS FATHER G3962 AND HIS MOTHER G3384 AND BE JOINED G4347 TO HIS WIFE G1135, AND THE TWO G1417 SHALL BECOME G1510 G1519 ONE G1520 FLESH G4561.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:32 - This G3778 mystery G3466 is great G3173; but I am speaking G3004 with reference G1519 to Christ G5547 and the church G1577.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:33 - Nevertheless G4133, as for you individually G2596 G1520, each G1538 husband is to love G25 his own G1438 wife G1135 the same G3779 as himself G1438, and the wife G1135 must see to it that she respects G5399 her husband G435.
