¹ Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children:² And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.

³ But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints:⁴ Or obscenity or foolish talking or scurrility, which is to no purpose: but rather giving of thanks.⁵ For know you this and understand: That no fornicator or unclean or covetous person (which is a serving of idols) hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief.⁷ Be ye not therefore partakers with them.⁸ For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light.⁹ For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justice and truth:¹⁰ Proving what is well pleasing to God.¹¹ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather reprove them.¹² For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.¹³ But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for all that is made manifest is light.¹⁴ Wherefore he saith: Rise, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee.¹⁵ See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise,¹⁶ But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil.¹⁷ Wherefore, become not unwise: but understanding what is the will of God.¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury: but be ye filled with the Holy Spirit,¹⁹ Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord:²⁰ Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father:

²¹ Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.²² Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:²³ Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.²⁴ Therefore as the church is subject to Christ: so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and delivered himself up for it:²⁶ That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:²⁷ That 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 So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.²⁹ For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:³⁰ Because we are members of him, body, of his flesh and of his bones.³¹ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother: and shall cleave to his wife. And they shall be two in one flesh.³² This is a great sacrament: but I speak in Christ and in the church.³³ Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular love for his wife as himself: And let the wife fear her husband.
