-
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
-
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
-
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
-
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
-
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
-
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
-
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
-
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
-
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
-
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
-
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
-
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
-
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
-
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
-
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
-
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
-
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
-
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
-
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
-
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
-
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
-
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
-
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
-
With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
-
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
