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 [ a ] , 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. [ b ] 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 [ c ] , 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.
