| 5:3 | And fornycacioun, and al vnclennesse, or aueryce, be not named among you, as it bicometh holi men; |

| 5:5 | For wite ye this, and vndurstonde, that ech letchour, or vnclene man, or coueytouse, that serueth to mawmetis, hath not eritage in the kingdom of Crist and of God. |

| 5:7 | Therfor nyle ye be maad parteneris of hem. |
| 5:8 | For ye weren sum tyme derknessis, but now `ye ben liyt in the Lord. Walke ye as the sones of liyt. |
| 5:9 | For the fruyt of liyt is in al goodnesse, and riytwisnesse, and treuthe. |

| 5:20 | euermore doynge thankingis for alle thingis in the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist to God and to the fadir. |
| 5:21 | Be ye suget togidere in the drede of Crist. |
| 5:22 | Wymmen, be thei suget to her hosebondis, |
| 5:23 | as to the Lord, for the man is heed of the wymman, as Crist is heed of the chirche; he is sauyour of his bodi. |
| 5:24 | But as the chirche is suget to Crist, so wymmen to her hosebondis in alle thingis. |
| 5:25 | Men, loue ye youre wyues, as Crist louyde the chirche, and yaf hym silf for it, to make it holi; |
| 5:26 | and clenside it with the waisching of watir, in the word of lijf, |
| 5:27 | to yyue the chirche gloriouse to hym silf, that it hadde no wem, ne ryueling, or ony siche thing, but that it be hooli and vndefoulid. |
| 5:28 | So and men `schulen loue her wyues, as her owne bodies. He that loueth his wijf, loueth hym silf; |
| 5:29 | for no man hatide euere his owne fleisch, but nurischith and fostrith it, as Crist doith the chirche. |
| 5:30 | And we ben membris of his bodi, of his fleisch, and of his boonys. |
| 5:31 | For this thing a man schal forsake his fadir and modir, and he schal drawe to his wijf; and thei schulen be tweyne in o fleisch. |
| 5:32 | This sacrament is greet; yhe, Y seie in Crist, and in the chirche. |
| 5:33 | Netheles ye alle, ech man loue his wijf as hym silf; and the wijf drede hir hosebonde. |
| 5:1 | Bee yee therefore followers of God, as deare children, |
| 5:2 | And walke in loue, euen as Christ hath loued vs, and hath giuen himselfe for vs, to be an offering and a sacrifice of a sweete smellling 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 filthinesse, neither foolish talking, neither iesting, which are things not comely, but rather giuing of thankes. |
| 5:5 | For this ye know, that no whoremonger, neither vncleane person, nor couetous person, which is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdome of Christ, and of God. |
| 5:6 | Let no man deceiue you with vaine wordes: for, for such thinges commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of disobedience. |
| 5:7 | Be not therefore companions with them. |
| 5:8 | For ye were once darkenesse, but are nowe light in the Lord: walke as children of light, |
| 5:9 | (For the fruit of the Spirit is in al goodnes, and righteousnes, and trueth) |
| 5:10 | Approuing that which is pleasing to the Lord. |
| 5:11 | And haue no fellowship with ye vnfruitfull works of darknes, but euen reproue them rather. |
| 5:12 | For it is shame euen to speake of the things which are done of them in secret. |
| 5:13 | But all thinges when they are reproued of the light, are manifest: for it is light that maketh all things manifest. |
| 5:14 | Wherefore hee sayeth, Awake thou that sleepest, and stande vp from the deade, and Christ shall giue thee light. |
| 5:15 | Take heede therefore that yee walke circumspectly, not as fooles, but as wise, |
| 5:16 | Redeeming ye season: for ye daies are euill. |
| 5:17 | Wherefore, be ye not vnwise, but vnderstand what the will of the Lord is. |
| 5:18 | And be not drunke with wine, wherein is excesse: but be fulfilled with the Spirit, |
| 5:19 | Speaking vnto your selues in psalmes, and hymnes, and spirituall songs, singing, and making melodie to the Lord in your hearts, |
| 5:20 | Giuing thankes alwaies for all thinges vnto God euen the Father, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, |
| 5:21 | Submitting your selues one to another in the feare of God. |
| 5:22 | Wiues, submit your selues vnto your husbands, as vnto the Lord. |
| 5:23 | For the husband is the wiues head, euen as Christ is the head of the Church, and the same is the sauiour of his body. |
| 5:24 | Therfore as the Church is in subiection to Christ, euen so let the wiues be to their husbands in euery thing. |
| 5:25 | Husbands, loue your wiues, euen as Christ loued the Church, and gaue himselfe for it, |
| 5:26 | That hee might sanctifie it, and clense it by the washing of water through the worde, |
| 5:27 | That hee might make it vnto him selfe a glorious Church, not hauing spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it shoulde bee holy and without blame. |
| 5:28 | So ought men to loue their wiues, as their owne bodies: he that loueth his wife, loueth him selfe. |
| 5:29 | For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord doeth the Church. |
| 5:30 | For we are members of his bodie, of his flesh, and of his bones. |
| 5:31 | For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother, and shall cleaue to his wife, and they twaine shalbe one flesh. |
| 5:32 | This is a great secrete, but I speake concerning Christ, and concerning the Church. |
| 5:33 | Therefore euery one of you, doe ye so: let euery one loue his wife, euen as himselfe, and let the wife see that shee feare her husband. |
| 5:1 | You therefore be followers of God as dear children. |
| 5:2 | And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma. |
| 5:3 | But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; |
| 5:4 | neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. |
| 5:5 | Because, you know this; that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. |
| 5:6 | Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience. |
| 5:7 | Therefore do not be partakers with them. |
| 5:8 | Because, you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light |
| 5:9 | (because, the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), |
| 5:10 | finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. |
| 5:11 | And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. |
| 5:12 | Because, it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. |
| 5:13 | But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, because whatever makes manifest is light. |
| 5:14 | Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light." |
| 5:15 | See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, |
| 5:16 | redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
| 5:17 | Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. |
| 5:18 | And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; 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, even the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 5:21 | submitting yourselves to one another in the reverence of God. |
| 5:22 | Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord. |
| 5:23 | Because, the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. |
| 5:24 | Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. |
| 5:25 | Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, |
| 5:26 | that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, |
| 5:27 | that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. |
| 5:28 | So husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. |
| 5:29 | Because, no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. |
| 5:30 | Because, we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. |
| 5:31 | "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." |
| 5:32 | This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. |
| 5:33 | Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife just as himself, and let the wife see that she reverence her husband. |
