Ephesians 5
Walk in Love
1
Therefore a be imitators of God as dear b children.
2
And c walk in love, d as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God e for a sweet-smelling aroma.
3
But fornication and all f uncleanness or g covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;
4
h neither filthiness, nor i foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, j which are not fitting, but rather k giving of thanks.
5
For 1 this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any l inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
6
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
7
Therefore do not be m partakers with them.
8
For you were once darkness, but now you are n light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
9
(for o the fruit of the 2 Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),
10
p finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
11
And have q no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather 3 expose them.
12
r For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
13
But s all things that are 4 exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
14
Therefore He says:
t "Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light."
t "Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light."
15
u See then that you walk 5 circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
16
v redeeming the time, w because the days are evil.
17
x Therefore do not be unwise, but y understand z what the will of the Lord is.
18
And a do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
19
speaking to one another b in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making c melody in your heart to the Lord,
20
d giving thanks always for all things to God the Father e in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
21
f submitting to one another in the fear of 6 God.
