5:1   Therefore imitate God, as beloved children;

5:2   and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.

5:3   But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even have association among you, as has proper decorum among saints;

5:4   and there must proceed no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which do not seem fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

5:5   For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who practices idolatry, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

5:6   Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

5:7   Therefore do not become partakers with them;

5:8   for you formerly walked in darkness, but now you receive Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light

5:9  (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

5:10   trying to learn what pleases the Lord.

5:11  Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them;

5:12   for it has become disgraceful even to speak of the things which they do in secret.

5:13   But all things become visible when the light exposes them, for everything that becomes visible receives light.

5:14   For this reason it says," Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you."

5:15  Therefore show care how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

5:16   making the most of your time, because the days seem evil.

5:17   So then do not act foolishly, but understand what the Lord wills.

5:18  And do not get drunk with wine, for that shows dissipation, but become filled with the Spirit,

5:19   speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

5:20   always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

5:21  and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.

5:22   Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

5:23   For the husband guides the wife, as Christ also leads the church, He Himself serving as the Savior of the body.

5:24   But as the church subjects itself to Christ, so also the wives ought to subject themselves to their husbands in everything.

5:25   Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

5:26   so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

5:27   that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would emerge holy and blameless.

5:28   So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;

5:29   for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

5:30   because we have become members of His body.

5:31   FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL JOIN TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.

5:32   This mystery has greatness; but I speak with reference to Christ and the church.

5:33   Nevertheless, each individual among you also should love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.
