But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; (5:3)

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks (5:4)

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God (5:5)

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience (5:6)

Be not ye therefore partakers with them (5:7)

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (5:8)

(For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) (5:9)

Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord (5:10)

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them] (5:11)

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret (5:12)

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light (5:13)

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. (5:14) 58

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, (5:15)

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil (5:16)

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is] (5:17)

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; (5:18)

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; (5:19)

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; (5:20)

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God (5:21)

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. (5:22) com2

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 (5:23)

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing (5:24)

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; (5:25)

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, (5:26)

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 (5:27)

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself (5:28)

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: (5:29)

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones (5:30)

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 (5:31)

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church (5:32)

Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband (5:33)
