Ephesians 5:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 You are God's dear children, so try to be like him.
2 Live a life of love. Love others just as Christ loved us. He gave himself for us�a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to God.
3 But there must be no sexual sin among you. There must not be any kind of evil or selfishly wanting more and more, because such things are not right for God's holy people.
4 Also, there must be no evil talk among you. Don't say things that are foolish or filthy. These are not for you. But you should be giving thanks to God.
5 You can be sure of this: No one will have a place in the kingdom of Christ and of God if that person commits sexual sins, or does evil things, or is a person who selfishly wants more and more. A greedy person like that is serving a false god.
6 Don't let anyone fool you with words they don't really believe. God gets very angry when people who don't obey him talk like that.
7 So don't have anything to do with them.
8 In the past you were full of darkness, but now you are full of light in the Lord. So live like children who belong to the light.
9 This light produces every kind of goodness, right living, and truth.
10 Try to learn what pleases the Lord.
11 Have no part in the things that people in darkness do, which produce nothing good. Instead, tell everyone how wrong those things are.
12 It is really very shameful to even talk about the things those people do in secret.
13 But the light makes clear how wrong those things are.
14 Yes, everything is made clear by the light. This is why we say, "Wake up, you who are sleeping! Rise from death, and Christ will shine on you."
15 So be very careful how you live. Live wisely, not like fools.
16 I mean that you should use every opportunity you have for doing good, because these are evil times.
17 So don't be foolish with your lives, but learn what the Lord wants you to do.
18 Don't be drunk with wine, which will ruin your life, but be filled with the Spirit.
19 Encourage each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord.
20 Always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21 Be willing to serve each other out of respect for Christ.
22 Wives, be willing to serve your husbands the same as the Lord.
23 A husband is the head of his wife, just as Christ is the head of the church. Christ is the Savior of the church, which is his body.
24 The church serves under Christ, so it is the same with you wives. You should be willing to serve your husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives the same as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.
26 He died to make the church holy. He used the telling of the Good News to make the church clean by washing it with water.
27 Christ died so that he could give the church to himself like a bride in all her beauty. He died so that the church could be holy and without fault, with no evil or sin or any other thing wrong in it.
28 And husbands should love their wives like that. They should love their wives as they love their own bodies. The man who loves his wife loves himself,
29 because no one ever hates his own body, but feeds and takes care of it. And that is what Christ does for the church
30 because we are parts of his body.
31 The Scriptures say, "That is why a man will leave his father and mother and join his wife, and the two people will become one."
32 That secret truth is very important�I am talking about Christ and the church.
33 But each one of you must love his wife as he loves himself. And a wife must respect her husband.
1 Be G1096 ye therefore G3767 followers G3402 of God G2316 as G5613 dear G27 children: G5043
2 And G2532 walk G4043 in G1722 love, G26 as G2531 Christ G5547 also G2532 hath loved G25 us, G2248 and G2532 hath given G3860 himself G1438 for G5228 us G2257 an offering G4376 and G2532 a sacrifice G2378 to God G2316 for G1519 a sweetsmelling G2175 savor. G3744
3 But G1161 fornication, G4202 and G2532 all G3956 uncleanness, G167 or G2228 covetousness, G4124 let it not be once named G3366 G3687 among G1722 you, G5213 as G2531 becometh G4241 saints; G40
4 Neither G2532 filthiness, G151 nor G2532 foolish talking, G3473 nor G2228 jesting, G2160 which are not convenient G433 G3756 : but G235 rather G3123 giving of thanks. G2169
5 For G1063 this G5124 ye know G2075 G1097 , that G3754 no G3756 whoremonger, G4205 nor G2228 unclean person, G169 nor G2228 covetous man, G4123 who G3739 is G2076 an idolater, G1496 hath G2192 any G3956 inheritance G2817 in G1722 the G3588 kingdom G932 of Christ G5547 and G2532 of God. G2316
6 Let no man G3367 deceive G538 you G5209 with vain G2756 words: G3056 for G1063 because G1223 of these things G5023 cometh G2064 the G3588 wrath G3709 of God G2316 upon G1909 the G3588 children G5207 of disobedience. G543
7 Be G1096 not G3361 ye therefore G3767 partakers G4830 with them. G846
8 For G1063 ye were G2258 sometimes G4218 darkness, G4655 but G1161 now G3568 are ye light G5457 in G1722 the Lord: G2962 walk G4043 as G5613 children G5043 of light: G5457
9 ( For G1063 the G3588 fruit G2590 of the G3588 Spirit G4151 is in G1722 all G3956 goodness G19 and G2532 righteousness G1343 and G2532 truth; G225 )
10 Proving G1381 what G5101 is G2076 acceptable G2101 unto the G3588 Lord. G2962
11 And G2532 have no fellowship G4790 G3361 with the G3588 unfruitful G175 works G2041 of darkness, G4655 but G1161 rather G3123 G2532 reprove G1651 them.
12 For G1063 it is G2076 a shame G149 even G2532 to speak G3004 of those things which are done G1096 of G5259 them G846 in secret. G2931
13 But G1161 all things G3956 that are reproved G1651 are made manifest G5319 by G5259 the G3588 light: G5457 for G1063 whatsoever G3956 doth make manifest G5319 is G2076 light. G5457
14 Wherefore G1352 he saith, G3004 Awake G1453 thou that sleepest, G2518 and G2532 arise G450 from G1537 the G3588 dead, G3498 and G2532 Christ G5547 shall give thee light G2017 G4671 .
15 See G991 then G3767 that G4459 ye walk G4043 circumspectly, G199 not G3361 as G5613 fools, G781 but G235 as G5613 wise, G4680
16 Redeeming G1805 the G3588 time, G2540 because G3754 the G3588 days G2250 are G1526 evil. G4190
17 Wherefore G1223 G5124 be G1096 ye not G3361 unwise, G878 but G235 understanding G4920 what G5101 the G3588 will G2307 of the G3588 Lord G2962 is.
18 And G2532 be not drunk G3182 G3361 with wine, G3631 wherein G1722 G3739 is G2076 excess; G810 but G235 be filled G4137 with G1722 the Spirit; G4151
19 Speaking G2980 to yourselves G1438 in psalms G5568 and G2532 hymns G5215 and G2532 spiritual G4152 songs, G5603 singing G103 and G2532 making melody G5567 in G1722 your G5216 heart G2588 to the G3588 Lord; G2962
20 Giving thanks G2168 always G3842 for G5228 all things G3956 unto God G2316 and G2532 the Father G3962 in G1722 the name G3686 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ; G5547
21 Submitting yourselves G5293 one to another G240 in G1722 the fear G5401 of God. G2316
22 Wives G1135 , submit yourselves G5293 unto your own G2398 husbands, G435 as G5613 unto the G3588 Lord. G2962
23 For G3754 the G3588 husband G435 is G2076 the head G2776 of the G3588 wife, G1135 even G2532 as G5613 Christ G5547 is the head G2776 of the G3588 church: G1577 and G2532 he G846 is G2076 the savior G4990 of the G3588 body. G4983
24 Therefore G235 as G5618 the G3588 church G1577 is subject unto G5293 Christ, G5547 so G3779 let the G3588 wives G1135 be to their own G2398 husbands G435 in G1722 every thing. G3956
25 Husbands G435 , love G25 your G1438 wives, G1135 even as G2531 Christ G5547 also G2532 loved G25 the G3588 church, G1577 and G2532 gave G3860 himself G1438 for G5228 it; G846
26 That G2443 he might sanctify G37 and cleanse G2511 it G846 with the G3588 washing G3067 of water G5204 by G1722 the word, G4487
27 That G2443 he might present G3936 it G846 to himself G1438 a glorious G1741 church, G1577 not G3361 having G2192 spot, G4695 or G2228 wrinkle, G4512 or G2228 any G5100 such thing; G5108 but G235 that G2443 it should be G5600 holy G40 and G2532 without blemish. G299
28 So G3779 ought G3784 men G435 to love G25 their G1438 wives G1135 as G5613 their own G1438 bodies. G4983 He that loveth G25 his G1438 wife G1135 loveth G25 himself. G1438
29 For G1063 no man G3762 ever yet G4218 hated G3404 his own G1438 flesh; G4561 but G235 nourisheth G1625 and G2532 cherisheth G2282 it, G846 even G2532 as G2531 the G3588 Lord G2962 the G3588 church: G1577
30 For G3754 we are G2070 members G3196 of his G846 body, G4983 of G1537 his G846 flesh, G4561 and G2532 of G1537 his G846 bones. G3747
31 For this cause G473 G5127 shall a man G444 leave G2641 his G848 father G3962 and G2532 mother, G3384 and G2532 shall be joined G4347 unto G4314 his G848 wife, G1135 and G2532 they two G1417 shall be G2071 one G3391 flesh. G4561
32 This G5124 is G2076 a great G3173 mystery: G3466 but G1161 I G1473 speak G3004 concerning G1519 Christ G5547 and G2532 the G3588 church. G1577
33 Nevertheless G4133 let every one G1538 of you G5210 G2532 in particular G2596 G1520 so G3779 love G25 his G1438 wife G1135 even as G5613 himself; G1438 and G1161 the G3588 wife G1135 see that G2443 she reverence G5399 her husband. G435
