5:1  Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
5:2  And be walking in love, just as Christ also loved us and handed Himself over for us— an offering and a sacrifice to God for an aroma of fragrance.
5:3  But let sexual-immorality and all impurity or greed not even be named among you, as is proper for saints—
5:4  and filthiness and foolish-talk or coarse-joking, which are not fitting, but rather thanksgiving.
5:5  For you know this— recognizing that every sexually-immoral or impure or greedy person (that is, an idolater) does not have an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
5:6  Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of  disobedience.
5:7  Therefore do not be fellow-partakers with them.
5:8  For you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Be walking as children of  light
5:9  ( for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
5:10  approving what is pleasing to the Lord.
5:11  And do not be participating in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even be exposing them.
5:12  For it is shameful even to speak the things being done in secret by them,
5:13  but all things being exposed by the light become-visible.
5:14  For everything becoming-visible is light. Therefore he says, “Awake, sleeping one, and rise-up from the dead, and Christ will shine-on you.”
5:15  Therefore be watching carefully how you walk— not as unwise, but as wise,
5:16  redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
5:17  For this reason, do not be foolish ones, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
5:18  And do not get-drunk with wine, in which is wild-living, but be filled with the Spirit,
5:19  speaking to each other with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making-melody with your heart to the Lord,
5:20  giving-thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to our God and Father,
5:21  being-subject to one another in the fear of Christ—
5:22  ... wives— to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
5:23  Because a husband is the head of his wife as also Christ is the head of the church, He being the Savior of the body.
5:24  Nevertheless, as the church is subject to Christ, in this manner also let the wives be to their husbands in everything.
5:25  Husbands, be loving your wives just-as Christ also loved the church and handed Himself over for her
5:26  in order that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her with the washing of water by the word,
5:27  in order that He might present the church to Himself as glorious— not having spot or wrinkle or any of such things, but that she might be holy and without-blemish.
5:28  In this manner, husbands ought also to be loving their wives as their own bodies. The one loving his wife is loving himself.
5:29  For no one ever hated his own flesh, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,
5:30  because we are body-parts of His body.
5:31  “For this cause a man shall leave-behind his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two will be one flesh” [Gen 2:24].
5:32  This mystery is great, but I am speaking with reference to Christ and with reference to the church.
5:33  Nevertheless, you also individually, let each in this manner be loving his wife as himself. And let the wife see that she be respecting her husband.
