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.¹⁴ Wherefore he sayth: Awake thou that sleepest, and stande vp from the dead, and Christe shall geue thee lyght.¹⁵ Take heede therfore howe ye walke circumspectlye: not as vnwyse, but as wyse,¹⁶ Redeemyng the time, because ye dayes are euyll.¹⁷ Wherfore be ye not vnwise, but vnderstandyng what the wyll of the Lord is.¹⁸ And be not drunke with wine, wherin is excesse: but be fylled with the spirite,¹⁹ Speaking vnto your selues in psalmes and hymnes, and spirituall songues, syngyng and makyng melodie to the Lorde in your heartes:²⁰ Geuing thankes alwayes for all thinges vnto God and the father, in ye name of our Lorde Iesus Christe,

²¹ Submittyng your selues one to another in the feare of God. ²² Wyues, submit your selues vnto your owne husbandes, as vnto the Lorde:²³ For the husbande is the head of the wyfe, euen as Christe is the head of the Church: & he is the sauiour of the bodie.²⁴ But as the Church is subiect to Christ, lykewyse the wyues to their owne husbandes in all thynges.²⁵ Ye husbandes loue your wyues, euen as Christe also loued the Churche, and gaue hym selfe for it,²⁶ To sanctifie it, clensyng [it] in the fountayne of water in the worde,²⁷ To make it vnto hym selfe a glorious Churche, not hauyng spot or wrinckle, or any such thyng: but that it should be holy, and without blame.²⁸ So ought men to loue their wyues, as their owne bodies. He that loueth his wyfe, loueth hym selfe.²⁹ For no man euer yet hated his owne flesshe: but norissheth & cherissheth it, euen as the Lorde the Churche.³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesshe, and of his bones.³¹ For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother, and shalbe ioyned vnto his wyfe, and two shalbe made one flesshe.³² This is a great secrete: but I speake of Christe and of the Churche.³³ Therfore euery one of you [do ye so] Let euery one of you loue his wyfe euen as hym selfe, and [let] the wyfe reuerence her husbande.
