| 5:1 | Therfor be ye foloweris of God, as moost dereworthe sones; |
| 5:2 | and walke ye in loue, as Crist louyde vs, and yaf hym silf for vs an offryng and a sacrifice to God, in to the odour of swetnesse. |
| 5:3 | And fornycacioun, and al vnclennesse, or aueryce, be not named among you, as it bicometh holi men; |
| 5:4 | ethir filthe, or foli speche, or harlatrye, that perteyneth not to profit, but more doyng of thankyngis. |
| 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. |
| 5:6 | No man disseyue you bi veyn wordis; for whi for these thingis the wraththe of God cam on the sones of vnbileue. |
| 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. |
| 5:10 | And preue ye what `thing is wel plesynge to God. |
| 5:11 | And nyle ye comyne to vnfruytouse werkis of derknessis; but more repreue ye. |
| 5:12 | For what thingis ben don of hem in priuy, it is foule, yhe, to speke. |
| 5:13 | And alle thingis that ben repreuyd of the liyt, ben opynli schewid; for al thing that is schewid, is liyt. |
| 5:14 | For which thing he seith, Rise thou that slepist, and rise vp fro deth, and Crist schal liytne thee. |
| 5:15 | Therfor, britheren, se ye, hou warli ye schulen go; |
| 5:16 | not as vnwise men, but as wise men, ayenbiynge tyme, for the daies ben yuele. |
| 5:17 | Therfor nyle ye be maad vnwise, but vndurstondynge which is the wille of God. |
| 5:18 | And nyle ye be drunkun of wyn, in which is letcherie, but be ye fillid with the Hooli Goost; and speke ye to you silf in salmes, |
| 5:19 | and ymnes, and spiritual songis, syngynge and seiynge salm in youre hertis to the Lord; |
| 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 | Be ye folowers of god as dere children |
| 5:2 | and walke in love even as Christ loved vs and gave him silfe for vs an offerynge and a sacrifyce of a swete saver to god. |
| 5:3 | So that fornicacion and all vnclennes or coveteousnes be not once named amonge you as it be commeth saynctes: |
| 5:4 | nether filthynes nether folishe talkyng nether gestinge which are not comly: but rather gevynge of thankes |
| 5:5 | For this ye knowe yt no whormonger other vnclene person or coveteous person which is the worshipper of ymages hath eny inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christ and of God. |
| 5:6 | Let no ma deceave you with vayne wordes. For thorow soche thinges cometh the wrath of God vpon the chyldre of vnbelefe. |
| 5:7 | Be not therfore companions with them. |
| 5:8 | Ye were once dercknes but are now light in the Lorde. Walke as chyldren of light. |
| 5:9 | For the frute of the sprete is in all goodnes rightewesnes and trueth. |
| 5:10 | Accept that which is pleasinge to the Lorde: |
| 5:11 | and have no fellishippe with the vnfrutfull workes of dercknes: but rather rebuke them. |
| 5:12 | For it is shame even to name those thinges which are done of them in secrete: |
| 5:13 | but all thinges when they are rebuked of the light are manifest. For whatsoever is manifest that same is light. |
| 5:14 | Wherfore he sayth: awake thou that slepest and stond vp from deeth and Christ shall geve the light. |
| 5:15 | Take hede therfore that ye walke circuspectly: not as foles: but as wyse |
| 5:16 | redemynge the tyme: for ye dayes are evyll. |
| 5:17 | Wherfore be ye not vnwyse but vnderstonde what the will of the Lorde is |
| 5:18 | and be not dronke with wyne wherin is excesse: but be fulfilled with the sprete |
| 5:19 | speakynge vnto youre selves in psalmes and ymnes and spretuall songes synginge and makinge melodie to ye Lorde in youre hertes |
| 5:20 | gevinge thankes all wayes for all thinges vnto God the father in the name of oure Lorde Iesu Christ: |
| 5:21 | submittinge youre selves one to another in the feare of God. |
| 5:22 | Wemen submit youre selves vnto youre awne husbandes as vnto the Lorde. |
| 5:23 | For the husbande is the wyves heed even as Christ is the heed of the congregacion and the same is the saveoure of the body. |
| 5:24 | Therfore as the cogregacion is in subieccion to Christ lykwyse let the wyves be in subieccion to their husbandes in all thinges. |
| 5:25 | Husbandes love youre wyves even as Christ loved the congregacion and gave him silfe for it |
| 5:26 | to sanctifie it and clensed it in the fountayne of water thorow the worde |
| 5:27 | to make it vnto him selfe a glorious congregacion with oute spot or wrynckle or eny soche thinge: but that it shuld be holy and with out blame. |
| 5:28 | So ought men to love their wyves as their awne bodyes. He that loveth his wyfe loveth him sylfe. |
| 5:29 | For no ma ever yet hated his awne flesshe: but norissheth and cherisseth it even as the lorde doth the congregacion. |
| 5:30 | For we are members of his body of his flesshe and of his bones. |
| 5:31 | For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cotinue with his wyfe and two shalbe made one flesshe. |
| 5:32 | This is a great secrete but I speake bitwene Christ and the cogregacion. |
| 5:33 | Neverthelesse do ye so that every one of you love his wyfe truely even as him silfe. And let ye wyfe se that she feare her husbade. |
| 5:1 | Be ye the folowers therfore of God as deare children, |
| 5:2 | and walke in loue, euen as Christ loued vs, and gaue him selfe for vs an offerynge and sacrifice of a swete sauoure vnto God. |
| 5:3 | As for whordome and all vnclennes, or couetousnes, let it not be named amoge you, as it becommeth sayntes: |
| 5:4 | nether fylthines, ner folish talkynge, ner ieastynge (which are not comly) but rather geuynge of thakes. |
| 5:5 | For be sure, that no whore monger, or vncleane person, or couetous person (which is a worshipper off ymages) hath inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christ and of God. |
| 5:6 | (Let no man disceaue you with vayne wordes) for because of these commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of vnbeleue. |
| 5:7 | Be not ye therfore companions with them. |
| 5:8 | For sometyme ye were darknesse, but now are ye lighte in the LORDE. Walke as the children of lighte. |
| 5:9 | (For the frute of the sprete is all maner of goodnes, and righteousnes and trueth:) |
| 5:10 | and prone what is pleasinge vnto the LORDE, |
| 5:11 | and haue no fellishippe with ye vnfrutefull workes of darknes, but rather rebuke the. |
| 5:12 | For it is shame euen to name those thinges, which are done of them in secrete. |
| 5:13 | But all thinges are manifest, whan they are rebuked of the lighte. For what so euer is manifest, that same is lighte. |
| 5:14 | Therfore sayeth he: Awake thou that slepest, and stonde vp fro the deed, and Christ shal geue the lighte. |
| 5:15 | Take hede therfore how ye walke circumspectly, not as the vnwyse, but as ye wyse, |
| 5:16 | and redeme the tyme, for it is a miserable tyme. |
| 5:17 | Wherfore be not ye vnwyse, but vnderstonde what the wil of the LORDE is, |
| 5:18 | and be not dronken with wyne, wherin is excesse: but be full of the sprete |
| 5:19 | and talke amoge youre selues of Psalmes, and ymnes, and spirituall songes, synginge and makynge melody vnto the LORDE in youre hertes |
| 5:20 | geuynge thankes alwayes for all thinges vnto God the father, in the name of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, |
| 5:21 | submyttinge youreselues one to another in the feare of God. |
| 5:22 | Let the wemen submytte them selues vnto their hussbandes, as vnto the LORDE. |
| 5:23 | For the hussbande is the wyues heade, eue as Christ also is the heade of the congregacion, and he is the Sauioure of his body. |
| 5:24 | Therfore as the congregacion is in subieccion to Christ, likewyse let the wyues be in subieccion to their hussbandes in all thinges. |
| 5:25 | Ye hussbandes loue youre wyues, euen as Christ loued the congregacion, and gaue himselfe for it, |
| 5:26 | to sanctifye it, and clensed it in the fountayne of water by the worde, |
| 5:27 | to make it vnto himselfe a glorious congregacion, hauynge no spot ner wrynkle, ner eny soch thinge, but that it shulde be holy and without blame. |
| 5:28 | So oughte men also to loue their wyues, euen as their awne bodyes. He that loueth his wife, loueth himselfe. |
| 5:29 | For no ma euer yet hated his awne flesshe, but norisheth and cherissheth it, euen as the LORDE doth also the congregacion. |
| 5:30 | For we are membres of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. |
| 5:31 | For this cause shal a man leaue father and mother, and cleue vnto his wife, and they two shal be one flesh: |
| 5:32 | This is a greate secrete: but I speake of Christ and the congregacion. |
| 5:33 | Neuertheles do ye so, that euery one of you loue his wife euen as himselfe: but let the wife feare hir hussbande. |
