| 5:1 | Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. |
| 5:2 | And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling aroma. |
| 5:3 | But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; |
| 5:4 | neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. |
| 5:5 | For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any 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 comes upon the sons of disobedience. |
| 5:7 | Therefore do not be partakers with them. |
| 5:8 | For you were once darkness, but now [you are] light in the Lord. Walk as children of light |
| 5:9 | (for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), |
| 5:10 | finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. |
| 5:11 | And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose [them]. |
| 5:12 | For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. |
| 5:13 | But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. |
| 5:14 | Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light." |
| 5:15 | See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, |
| 5:16 | redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
| 5:17 | Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord [is]. |
| 5:18 | And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, |
| 5:19 | speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, |
| 5:20 | giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 5:21 | submitting to one another in the fear of God. |
| 5:22 | Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. |
| 5:23 | For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. |
| 5:24 | Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in everything. |
| 5:25 | Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, |
| 5:26 | that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, |
| 5:27 | that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. |
| 5:28 | So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. |
| 5:29 | For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord [does] the church. |
| 5:30 | For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. |
| 5:31 | "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." |
| 5:32 | This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. |
| 5:33 | Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife [see] that she respects [her] husband. |
