29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church- 30 for we are members of his body. ( AS) 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives ( AT) as their own bodies. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands ( AM) in everything.Ģ5 Husbands, love your wives, ( AN) just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ( AO) 26 to make her holy, ( AP) cleansing her by the washing ( AQ) with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself ( AR) as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
( AK) 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, ( AL) his body, of which he is the Savior. Instructions for Christian Households ( AH)Ģ1 Submit to one another ( AI) out of reverence for Christ.Ģ2 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands ( AJ) as you do to the Lord. ( AF) Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks ( AG) to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, ( AE) 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. ( AC) 18 Do not get drunk on wine, ( AD) which leads to debauchery. ( AB) 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 14 This is why it is said:ġ5 Be very careful, then, how you live ( Z)-not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, ( AA) because the days are evil. 13 But everything exposed by the light ( V) becomes visible-and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. ( T) 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, ( U) but rather expose them. Live as children of light ( Q) 9 (for the fruit ( R) of the light consists in all goodness, ( S) righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord.
( O) 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.Ĩ For you were once ( P) darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. ( L) 6 Let no one deceive you ( M) with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath ( N) comes on those who are disobedient. ( I) 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person-such a person is an idolater ( J)-has any inheritance ( K) in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk ( H) or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. ( E)ģ But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, ( F) or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, ( G) because these are improper for God’s holy people. 5 1 Follow God’s example, ( A) therefore, as dearly loved children ( B) 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us ( C) and gave himself up for us ( D) as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
