Eph. 5
:1
5:1
Be therefore
1aimitators of God, as beloved children;
Eph. 5
:2
5:2
And awalk in
1blove, even as
2Christ also
cloved 3us and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a
4dsacrifice to God for a
5esweet-smelling savor.
Eph. 5
:3
5:3
But 1afornication and all uncleanness or greediness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for
2saints,
Eph. 5
:4
5:4
And aobscenity and foolish talking or sly, filthy jesting, which are not becoming, but rather the
1bgiving of thanks.
Eph. 5
:5
5:5
For this you
1realize,
2knowing that every fornicator or unclean person or greedy person (who is an idolater) has no inheritance in the
3akingdom of Christ and of God.
Eph. 5
:6
5:6
Let no one deceive you with
avain words, for because of these things the
bwrath of God is coming upon the
csons of disobedience.
Eph. 5
:7
5:7
Therefore do not be
apartakers with them;
Eph. 5
:8
5:8
For you were
aonce bdarkness but are now
1clight din the Lord;
2ewalk as
3fchildren of light
Eph. 5
:9
5:9
(For the
afruit of the light
consists in all
1goodness and
brighteousness and
ctruth),
Eph. 5
:10
5:10
aProving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
Eph. 5
:11
5:11
And do not
aparticipate in the
1unfruitful bworks of darkness, but rather even
2creprove them.
Eph. 5
:12
5:12
For the things which are done by them in secret it is shameful even to speak of.
Eph. 5
:13
5:13
But all things which are
1areproved are made manifest by the light; for everything that makes
bmanifest is light.
Eph. 5
:14
5:14
Therefore He says,
aAwake,
1sleeper, and
barise from the
cdead, and
2Christ will
dshine on you.
Eph. 5
:15
5:15
1Look therefore carefully how you
awalk, not as unwise, but as
bwise,
Eph. 5
:16
5:16
1aRedeeming the time, because the
2bdays are evil.
Eph. 5
:17
5:17
Therefore do not be foolish, but
1aunderstand what the
bwill of the Lord is.
Eph. 5
:18
5:18
And do not be drunk with
awine, in which is dissoluteness, but be
1bfilled in
cspirit,
Eph. 5
:19
5:19
1Speaking to one another in
2apsalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and psalming with your heart to the Lord,
Eph. 5
:20
5:20
aGiving thanks
1at all times for all things
2in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to
our God and Father,
Eph. 5
:21
5:21
Being 1asubject to
2one another in the
3fear of Christ:

The living needed in ethical relationships
5:22—6:9
1.
Between wife and husband
5:22-33
Eph. 5
:22
5:22
1aWives,
be bsubject 2to your
3own husbands as to the Lord;
a.
(A type of the church and Christ)
vv. 23-32
Eph. 5
:23
5:23
For a husband is
1ahead of the wife as also Christ is
bHead of the church, He Himself
being the
2Savior of the Body.
Eph. 5
:24
5:24
1But as the church is subject to Christ, so also
let the wives
be subject to their husbands in
2everything.
Eph. 5
:25
5:25
Husbands,
1alove your wives even
2as Christ also
bloved the church and gave Himself up for her
Eph. 5
:26
5:26
That He might
1asanctify her, cleansing
her by the
2bwashing of the
3water in the
4cword,
Eph. 5
:27
5:27
That He might
1apresent the
2bchurch to Himself
3glorious, not having
4spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that she would be
5choly and
dwithout blemish.
Eph. 5
:28
5:28
In the same way the husbands also ought to
alove their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his own wife loves himself.
Eph. 5
:29
5:29
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but
1anourishes and
bcherishes it, even as Christ also the church,
Eph. 5
:30
5:30
Because we are
amembers of His
bBody.
Eph. 5
:31
5:31
aFor this cause a man shall
1leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall be
2bone flesh.
Eph. 5
:32
5:32
This amystery is great, but I speak with regard to
1Christ band the church.
Eph. 5
:33
5:33
Nevertheless you also, each one of you, in the same way
alove 1your own wife as yourself; and the wife should
2bfear her husband.
