1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2And 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[an error occurred while processing this directive]3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5For 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[an error occurred while processing this directive]6Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23For 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[an error occurred while processing this directive]24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27That 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[an error occurred while processing this directive]28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31For 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[an error occurred while processing this directive]32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
