5:1  Therefore be ye followers of God, as most dear-worthy sons;
5:2  and walk ye in love, as [and] Christ loved us, and gave himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God, into the odour of sweetness.
5:3  And fornication, and all uncleanness, or avarice, be not named among you, as it becometh holy men;
5:4  either filth, or folly speech, or buffoonery [or harlotry], that pertaineth not to profit, but more rather doing of thankings [but more doing of thankings].
5:5  For know ye this, and understand, that each lecher, or unclean man, or covetous [man], that serveth to maumets, hath not heritage in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
5:6  No man deceive you by vain words; for why for these things the wrath of God came upon the sons of unbelief.
5:7  Therefore do not ye be made partners of them.
5:8  For ye were sometime darknesses, but now ye be light in the Lord. Walk ye as the sons of light [Walk as the sons of light].
5:9  For the fruit of light is in all goodness, and rightwiseness, and truth.
5:10  And prove ye what thing is well pleasing to God. [Proving what is well pleasing to God.]
5:11  And do not ye commune to unfruitous works of darknesses; but more rather reprove ye [them].
5:12  For what things be done of them in privy, it is foul, yea, to speak.
5:13  And all things that be reproved of the light, be openly showed; for all thing that is showed, is light. [Forsooth all things that be reproved of the light, be made open; forsooth all thing that is made open, is light.]
5:14  For which thing he saith, Rise thou that sleepest, and rise up from death, and Christ shall lighten thee.
5:15  Therefore, brethren, see ye, how warily ye shall go; not as unwise men, but as wise men,
5:16  again-buying the time, for the days be evil.
5:17  Therefore do not ye be made unwise, but understanding which is the will of God [which is the will of the Lord].
5:18  And do not ye be drunk of wine, in which is lechery [in which is luxury], but be ye filled with the Holy Ghost;
5:19  and speak ye to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your hearts to the Lord; [speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your heart to the Lord;]
5:20  evermore doing thankings for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God and to the Father [to God and the Father.]
5:21  Be ye subject together in the dread of Christ.
5:22  Women, be they subject to their husbands, as to the Lord,
5:23  for the man is head of the woman, as Christ is head of the church; he is Saviour of his body.
5:24  But as the church is subject to Christ, so [and] women to their husbands in all things.
5:25  Men, love ye your wives, as [and] Christ loved the church, and gave himself for it,
5:26  to make it holy; and cleansed it with the washing of water [that he should make it holy; cleansing it with the washing of water], in the word of life,
5:27  to give the church glorious to himself, that it had no wem, nor rivelling, or any such thing, but that it be holy and undefouled.
5:28  So and men shall love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself;
5:29  for no man hated ever his own flesh, but nourisheth and fostereth it, as [and] Christ doeth the church.
5:30  And we be members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. [For we be members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.]
5:31  For this thing a man shall forsake his father and mother, and he shall draw to his wife; and they shall be twain in one flesh [and he shall cleave to his wife; and they shall be two in one flesh].
5:32  This sacrament is great; yea, I say in Christ, and in the church.
5:33  Nevertheless ye all, each man love his wife as himself; and the wife dread her husband.
