Ephesians 5:9-24
-
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
-
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
-
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
-
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
-
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
-
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
-
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
-
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
-
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
-
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
-
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
-
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
-
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
-
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
-
23 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.
-
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
