Ephesians 5:1-13 ▼

1 Be ye therefore folowers of God, as deare chyldren:

2 And walke ye in loue, euen as Christe hath loued vs, and hath geuen hym selfe for vs an offering and a sacrifice of a sweete smellyng sauour to God.

3 But fornication, and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named among you, as it becommeth saintes:

4 Neither fylthynesse, neither foolyshe talkyng, neither iestyng, which are not comely: but rather, geuyng of thankes.

5 For this ye knowe, that no whoremonger, neither vncleane person, nor couetous person, which is a worshipper of images, hath any inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christe, and of God.

6 Let no man deceaue you with vayne wordes: For, because of such thynges commeth the wrath of God vppon the chyldren of disobedience.

7 Be not ye therefore companions of them.

8 For ye were sometimes darknesse: but nowe are ye lyght in the Lorde. Walke as chyldren of lyght.

9 For the fruite of the spirite (is) in all goodnesse, and righteousnesse, & trueth,

10 Approuyng what is acceptable vnto the Lorde.

11 And haue no felowship with the vnfruitefull workes of darknesse, but rather euen rebuke them.

12 For it is shame euen to name those thynges whiche are done of them in secrete.

13 But all thynges, when they are rebuked of the lyght, are manifest: For all that which do make manifest, is lyght.
