| 5:1 | Be ye folowers of God as deare children, |
| 5:2 | and walke in loue euen as Christe loued vs, and gaue hym selfe for vs, an offeringe, and a sacrifice of a swete sauoure to God. |
| 5:3 | So that fornicacion and vncleanes, or couetousnes be not ones named amonge you, as it becommeth sainctes: |
| 5:4 | neyther fylthynes, neyther folyshe talkinge, neither gestinge whiche are not comely: but rather geuinge of thankes. |
| 5:5 | For this ye knowe, that no whormonger, other vncleane persone, or couetous person, whyche is the worshypper of Images, hath anye inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christe and of God. |
| 5:6 | Let no man deceiue you with vayne wordes. For thorowe suche thinges commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of vnbelefe. |
| 5:7 | Be not therfore companions wyth them. |
| 5:8 | Ye were ones darckenes, but are nowe lyghte in the Lorde. Walke as chyldren of lyghte. |
| 5:9 | For the fruite of the spirite is in all goodnes, ryghtuousnes and trueth. |
| 5:10 | Accepte that whiche is pleasinge to the Lorde: |
| 5:11 | and haue no fellowshyp wyth the vnfruitfull workes of darckenes: but rather rebuke them. |
| 5:12 | For it is shame euen to name those thinges, whiche are done of them in secrete: |
| 5:13 | but all thinges, when they are rebuked of the lyghte are manifeste. For what soeuer is manifeste, that same is lyght. |
| 5:14 | Wherfore he sayth: awake thou that slepest, and stand vp from death, and Christ shall geue the lyght. |
| 5:15 | Take hede therfore that ye walke circumspectlye: not as foles, but as wyse |
| 5:16 | redeminge the time, for the dayes are iuel. |
| 5:17 | Wherfore be ye not vnwise, but vnderstande what the wyll of the Lorde is, |
| 5:18 | and be not drounke wt wyne. wherin is excesse, but be fulfylled wyth the spirite, |
| 5:19 | speakinge vnto your selues in Psalmes, and Hymnes, and spiritual sounges, singing and makinge melodye to the Lorde in your hertes, |
| 5:20 | geuinge thankes alwayes for al thinges vnto God the father, in the name of oure Lorde Iesu Christe, |
| 5:21 | submittinge your selues one to another in the feare of God. |
| 5:22 | Women submitte youre selues vnto your owne husbandes, as vnto the Lorde. |
| 5:23 | For the husbande is the wyues head, euen as Christe is the heade of the congregation, and the same is the sauiour of the body. |
| 5:24 | Therfore as the congregation is in subieccion to Christe, lykewyse let the wyues be in subieccion to theyr husbandes in all thynges. |
| 5:25 | Husbandes loue youre wyues, euen as Christe loued the congregation, and gaue him selfe for it, |
| 5:26 | to sanctifye it, and cleansed it in the fountayne of water thorowe the worde |
| 5:27 | to make it vnto hym selfe a glorious congregation wythout spotte or wrinckle, or anye suche thinge: but that it shoulde be holy and wythout blame. |
| 5:28 | So ought men to loue theyr wyues, as their owne bodies. He that loueth hys wyfe, loueth him selfe. |
| 5:29 | For no man euer yet hated hys owne fleshe, but norisheth and cherisseth it euen as the Lorde doeth the congregation. |
| 5:30 | For we are members of his bodie, of his fleshe, and of hys bones. |
| 5:31 | For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother, and shall continue wyth hys wyfe, and two shalbe made one fleshe. |
| 5:32 | Thys is a greate secrete, but I speake betwene Christe and the congregation. |
| 5:33 | Neuerthelesse do ye so that euerye one of you loue his wyfe truely euen as hym selfe: And let the wyfe se that she feare her husbande. |
| 5:1 | Be ye therefore folowers of God, as deare chyldren: |
| 5:2 | 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. |
| 5:3 | But fornication, and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named among you, as it becommeth saintes: |
| 5:4 | Neither fylthynesse, neither foolyshe talkyng, neither iestyng, which are not comely: but rather, geuyng of thankes. |
| 5:5 | 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. |
| 5:6 | Let no man deceaue you with vayne wordes: For, because of such thynges commeth the wrath of God vppon the chyldren of disobedience. |
| 5:7 | Be not ye therefore companions of them. |
| 5:8 | For ye were sometimes darknesse: but nowe are ye lyght in the Lorde. Walke as chyldren of lyght. |
| 5:9 | For the fruite of the spirite (is) in all goodnesse, and righteousnesse, & trueth, |
| 5:10 | Approuyng what is acceptable vnto the Lorde. |
| 5:11 | And haue no felowship with the vnfruitefull workes of darknesse, but rather euen rebuke them. |
| 5:12 | For it is shame euen to name those thynges whiche are done of them in secrete. |
| 5:13 | But all thynges, when they are rebuked of the lyght, are manifest: For all that which do make manifest, is lyght. |
| 5:14 | Wherefore he sayth: Awake thou that sleepest, and stande vp from the dead, and Christe shall geue thee lyght. |
| 5:15 | Take heede therfore howe ye walke circumspectlye: not as vnwyse, but as wyse, |
| 5:16 | Redeemyng the time, because ye dayes are euyll. |
| 5:17 | Wherfore be ye not vnwise, but vnderstandyng what the wyll of the Lord is. |
| 5:18 | And be not drunke with wine, wherin is excesse: but be fylled with the spirite, |
| 5:19 | Speaking vnto your selues in psalmes and hymnes, and spirituall songues, syngyng and makyng melodie to the Lorde in your heartes: |
| 5:20 | Geuing thankes alwayes for all thinges vnto God and the father, in ye name of our Lorde Iesus Christe, |
| 5:21 | Submittyng your selues one to another in the feare of God. |
| 5:22 | Wyues, submit your selues vnto your owne husbandes, as vnto the Lorde: |
| 5:23 | 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. |
| 5:24 | But as the Church is subiect to Christ, lykewyse the wyues to their owne husbandes in all thynges. |
| 5:25 | Ye husbandes loue your wyues, euen as Christe also loued the Churche, and gaue hym selfe for it, |
| 5:26 | To sanctifie it, clensyng [it] in the fountayne of water in the worde, |
| 5:27 | 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. |
| 5:28 | So ought men to loue their wyues, as their owne bodies. He that loueth his wyfe, loueth hym selfe. |
| 5:29 | For no man euer yet hated his owne flesshe: but norissheth & cherissheth it, euen as the Lorde the Churche. |
| 5:30 | For we are members of his body, of his flesshe, and of his bones. |
| 5:31 | For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother, and shalbe ioyned vnto his wyfe, and two shalbe made one flesshe. |
| 5:32 | This is a great secrete: but I speake of Christe and of the Churche. |
| 5:33 | 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. |
| 5:1 | Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; |
| 5:2 | And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor. |
| 5:3 | But lewdness and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; |
| 5:4 | Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. |
| 5:5 | For this ye know, that no lewd, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. |
| 5:6 | Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. |
| 5:7 | Be ye not therefore partakers with them. |
| 5:8 | For ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light; |
| 5:9 | (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth;) |
| 5:10 | Proving what is acceptable to the Lord. |
| 5:11 | And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. |
| 5:12 | For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. |
| 5:13 | But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light. |
| 5:14 | Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light. |
| 5:15 | See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, |
| 5:16 | Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
| 5:17 | Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. |
| 5:18 | And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; |
| 5:19 | Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, |
| 5:20 | Giving thanks always for all things to God and the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; |
| 5:21 | Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. |
| 5:22 | Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord. |
| 5:23 | For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Savior of the body. |
| 5:24 | Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in every thing. |
| 5:25 | Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; |
| 5:26 | That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, |
| 5:27 | 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. |
| 5:28 | So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. |
| 5:29 | For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: |
| 5:30 | For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. |
| 5:31 | For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. |
| 5:32 | This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. |
| 5:33 | Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself: and the wife see that she reverence her husband. |
