| 5:1 | Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved, |
| 5:2 | and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell, |
| 5:3 | and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints; |
| 5:4 | also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, -- the things not fit -- but rather thanksgiving; |
| 5:5 | for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God. |
| 5:6 | Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience, |
| 5:7 | become not, then, partakers with them, |
| 5:8 | for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye, |
| 5:9 | for the fruit of the Spirit `is' in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth, |
| 5:10 | proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord, |
| 5:11 | and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict, |
| 5:12 | for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of, |
| 5:13 | and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light; |
| 5:14 | wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.' |
| 5:15 | See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise, |
| 5:16 | redeeming the time, because the days are evil; |
| 5:17 | because of this become not fools, but -- understanding what `is' the will of the Lord, |
| 5:18 | and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in 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, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father; |
| 5:21 | subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God. |
| 5:22 | The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord, |
| 5:23 | because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ `is' head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body, |
| 5:24 | but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also `are' the wives to their own husbands in everything. |
| 5:25 | The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it, |
| 5:26 | that he might sanctify it, having cleansed `it' with the bathing of the water in the saying, |
| 5:27 | that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished; |
| 5:28 | so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love; |
| 5:29 | for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly, |
| 5:30 | because members we are 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 shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;' |
| 5:32 | this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly; |
| 5:33 | but ye also, every one in particular -- let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife -- that she may reverence the husband. |
| 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. |
