Ephesians 5:1-25

Bishops(i) 1 Be ye therefore folowers of God, as deare chyldren 2 And walke ye in loue, euen as Christe hath loued vs, and hath geuen hym selfe for vs an offering and a sacrifice of a sweete smellyng sauour to God 3 But fornication, and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named among you, as it becommeth saintes 4 Neither fylthynesse, neither foolyshe talkyng, neither iestyng, which are not comely: but rather, geuyng of thankes 5 For this ye knowe, that no whoremonger, neither vncleane person, nor couetous person, which is a worshipper of images, hath any inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christe, and of God 6 Let no man deceaue you with vayne wordes: For, because of such thynges commeth the wrath of God vppon the chyldren of disobedience 7 Be not ye therefore companions of them 8 For ye were sometimes darknesse: but nowe are ye lyght in the Lorde. Walke as chyldren of lyght 9 For the fruite of the spirite (is) in all goodnesse, and righteousnesse, & trueth 10 Approuyng what is acceptable vnto the Lorde 11 And haue no felowship with the vnfruitefull workes of darknesse, but rather euen rebuke them 12 For it is shame euen to name those thynges whiche are done of them in secrete 13 But all thynges, when they are rebuked of the lyght, are manifest: For all that which do make manifest, is lyght 14 Wherefore he sayth: Awake thou that sleepest, and stande vp from the dead, and Christe shall geue thee lyght 15 Take heede therfore howe ye walke circumspectlye: not as vnwyse, but as wyse 16 Redeemyng the time, because ye dayes are euyll 17 Wherfore be ye not vnwise, but vnderstandyng what the wyll of the Lord is 18 And be not drunke with wine, wherin is excesse: but be fylled with the spirite 19 Speaking vnto your selues in psalmes and hymnes, and spirituall songues, syngyng and makyng melodie to the Lorde in your heartes 20 Geuing thankes alwayes for all thinges vnto God and the father, in ye name of our Lorde Iesus Christe 21 Submittyng your selues one to another in the feare of God 22 Wyues, submit your selues vnto your owne husbandes, as vnto the Lorde 23 For the husbande is the head of the wyfe, euen as Christe is the head of the Church: & he is the sauiour of the bodie 24 But as the Church is subiect to Christ, lykewyse the wyues to their owne husbandes in all thynges 25 Ye husbandes loue your wyues, euen as Christe also loued the Churche, and gaue hym selfe for it
