Dual Panel1Therefore<3767> be imitators<3402> of God<2316>, as beloved<27> children<5043>;
2and walk<4043> in love<26>, just<2531> as Christ<5547> also<2532> loved<25> you and gave<3860> Himself<1438> up for us, an offering<4376> and a sacrifice<2378> to God<2316> as a fragrant<2175> aroma<3744>.
3But immorality<4202> or<2532> any<3956> impurity<167> or<2228> greed<4124> must not even<3366> be named<3687> among<1722> you, as is proper<4241> among saints<40>;
4and there must be no filthiness<151> and silly<3473> talk<3473>, or<2228> coarse<2160> jesting<2160>, which<3739> are not fitting<433>, but rather<3123> giving<2169> of thanks<2169>.
5For this<3778> you know<3609> with certainty<1097>, that no<3756><3956> immoral<4205> or<2228> impure<169> person<169> or<2228> covetous<4123> man<4123>, who<3739> is an idolater<1496>, has<2192> an inheritance<2817> in the kingdom<932> of Christ<5547> and God<2316>.
6Let no<3367> one<3367> deceive<538> you with empty<2756> words<3056>, for because<1223> of these<3778> things<3778> the wrath<3709> of God<2316> comes<2064> upon the sons<5207> of disobedience<543>.
7Therefore<3767> do not be partakers<4830> with them;
8for you were formerly<4218> darkness<4655>, but now<3568> you are Light<5457> in the Lord<2962>; walk<4043> as children<5043> of Light<5457>
9(for the fruit<2590> of the Light<5457> consists in all<3956> goodness<19> and righteousness<1343> and truth<225>),
10trying<1381> to learn<1381> what<5101> is pleasing<2101> to the Lord<2962>.
11Do not participate<4790> in the unfruitful<175> deeds<2041> of darkness<4655>, but instead<3123> even<2532> expose<1651> them;
12for it is disgraceful<150> even<2532> to speak<3004> of the things which are done<1096> by them in secret<2931>.
13But all<3956> things<3956> become<5319> visible<5319> when they are exposed<1651> by the light<5457>, for everything<3956> that becomes<5319> visible<5319> is light<5457>.
14For this<1352> reason<1352> it says<3004>, "Awake<1453>, sleeper<2518>, And arise<450> from the dead<3498>, And Christ<5547> will shine<2017> on you."
15Therefore<3767> be careful<991><199> how<4459> you walk<4043>, not as unwise<781> men<781> but as wise<4680>,
16making<1805> the most<1805> of your time<2540>, because<3754> the days<2250> are evil<4190>.
17So<1223><3778> then<1223><3778> do not be foolish<878>, but understand<4920> what<5101> the will<2307> of the Lord<2962> is.
18And do not get<3182> drunk<3182> with wine<3631>, for that is dissipation<810>, but be filled<4137> with the Spirit<4151>,
19speaking<2980> to one<1438> another<1438> in psalms<5568> and hymns<5215> and spiritual<4152> songs<5603>, singing<103> and making<5567> melody<5567> with your heart<2588> to the Lord<2962>;
20always<3842> giving<2168> thanks<2168> for all<3956> things<3956> in the name<3686> of our Lord<2962> Jesus<2424> Christ<5547> to God<2316>, even<2532> the Father<3962>;
21and be subject<5293> to one<240> another<240> in the fear<5401> of Christ<5547>.
22Wives<1135>, be subject to your own<2398> husbands<435>, as to the Lord<2962>.
23For the husband<435> is the head<2776> of the wife<1135>, as Christ<5547> also<2532> is the head<2776> of the church<1577>, He Himself<846> being the Savior<4990> of the body<4983>.
24But as the church<1577> is subject<5293> to Christ<5547>, so<3779> also<2532> the wives<1135> ought to be to their husbands<435> in everything<3956>.
25Husbands<435>, love<25> your wives<1135>, just<2531> as Christ<5547> also<2532> loved<25> the church<1577> and gave<3860> Himself<1438> up for her,
26so<2443> that He might sanctify<37> her, having cleansed<2511> her by the washing<3067> of water<5204> with the word<4487>,
27that He might present<3936> to Himself<1438> the church<1577> in all<1741> her glory<1741>, having<2192> no<3361> spot<4696> or<2228> wrinkle<4512> or<2228> any<5100> such<5108> thing<5108>; but that she would be holy<40> and blameless<299>.
28So<3779> husbands<435> ought<3784> also<2532> to love<25> their own<1438> wives<1135> as their own<1438> bodies<4983>. He who loves<25> his own<1438> wife<1135> loves<25> himself<1438>;
29for no<3762> one<3762> ever<4218> hated<3404> his own<1438> flesh<4561>, but nourishes<1625> and cherishes<2282> it, just<2531> as Christ<5547> also<2532> does the church<1577>,
30because<3754> we are members<3196> of His body<4983>.
31FOR THIS<3778> REASON<473> A MAN<444> SHALL LEAVE<2641> HIS FATHER<3962> AND MOTHER<3384> AND SHALL BE JOINED<4347> TO HIS WIFE<1135>, AND THE TWO<1417> SHALL BECOME<1510><1519> ONE<1520> FLESH<4561>.
32This<3778> mystery<3466> is great<3173>; but I am speaking<3004> with reference<1519> to Christ<5547> and the church<1577>.
33Nevertheless<4133>, each<1538> individual<1520> among you also<2532> is to love<25> his own<1438> wife<1135> even as himself<1438>, and the wife<1135> must see to it that she respects<5399> her husband<435>.
