5:1 Therefore, be imitators of God as dearly loved children
5:2 and live in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.
5:3 But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.
5:4 Neither should there be vulgar speech, foolish talk, or coarse jesting--all of which are out of character--but rather thanksgiving.
5:5 For you can be confident of this one thing: that no person who is immoral, impure, or greedy (such a person is an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
5:6 Let nobody deceive you with empty words, for because of these things God's wrath comes on the sons of disobedience.
5:7 Therefore do not be partakers with them,
5:8 for you were at one time darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light--
5:9 for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth--
5:10 trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.
5:11 Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
5:12 For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention.
5:13 But all things being exposed by the light are made evident.
5:14 For everything made evident is light, and for this reason it says: "Awake, O sleeper! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!"
5:15 Therefore be very careful how you live--not as unwise but as wise,
5:16 taking advantage of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
5:17 For this reason do not be foolish, but be wise by understanding what the Lord's will is.
5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, which is debauchery, but be filled by the Spirit,
5:19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your hearts to the Lord,
5:20 always giving thanks to God the Father for each other in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:21 and submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
5:22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord,
5:23 because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church--he himself being the savior of the body.
5:24 But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
5:25 Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her
5:26 to sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of the water by the word,
5:27 so that he may present the church to himself as glorious--not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
5:28 In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
5:29 For no one has ever hated his own body but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ also does the church,
5:30 for we are members of his body.
5:31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
5:32 This mystery is great--but I am actually speaking with reference to Christ and the church.
5:33 Nevertheless, each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
