Ephesians 5

Verses of Ephesians 5 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children
2 - and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3 - But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.
4 - Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
5 - For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 - Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
7 - Therefore do not be partners with them.
8 - For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
9 - (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)
10 - and find out what pleases the Lord.
11 - Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
12 - For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
13 - But everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
14 - for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
15 - Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise,
16 - making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
17 - Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.
18 - Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
19 - Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord,
20 - always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21 - Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 - Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
23 - For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
24 - Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 - Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
26 - to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
27 - and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
28 - In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29 - After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church--
30 - for we are members of his body.
31 - "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."
32 - This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church.
33 - However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
