| Ephesians 5:1 | Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children; | Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children, | Let it then be your desire to be like God, as well-loved children; |
| Ephesians 5:2 | And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness. | and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour. | And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell. |
| Ephesians 5:3 | But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints: | But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints; | But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints; |
| Ephesians 5:4 | Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks. | and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving. | And let there be no low behaviour, or foolish talk, or words said in sport, which are not right, but in place of them the giving of praise. |
| Ephesians 5:5 | For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. | For this ye are [well] informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God. | Being certain of this, that no man who gives way to the passions of the flesh, no unclean person, or one who has desire for the property of others, or who gives worship to images, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and God. |
| Ephesians 5:6 | Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. | Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. | Do not be turned from the right way by foolish words; for because of these things the punishment of God comes on those who do not put themselves under him. |
| Ephesians 5:7 | Be ye not therefore partakers with them. | Be not ye therefore fellow-partakers with them; | Have no part with such men; |
| Ephesians 5:8 | For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light. | for ye were once darkness, but now light in [the] Lord; walk as children of light, | For you at one time were dark, but now are light in the Lord: let your behaviour be that of children of light |
| Ephesians 5:9 | For the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth; | (for the fruit of the light [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth,) | (Because the fruit of the light is in all righteousness and in everything which is good and true), |
| Ephesians 5:10 | Proving what is well pleasing to God: | proving what is agreeable to the Lord; | Testing by experience what is well-pleasing to the Lord; |
| Ephesians 5:11 | And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. | and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove [them], | And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear; |
| Ephesians 5:12 | For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. | for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say. | For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words. |
| Ephesians 5:13 | But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light. | But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light. | But all things, when their true quality is seen, are made clear by the light: because everything which is made clear is light. |
| Ephesians 5:14 | Wherefore he saith: Rise thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee. | Wherefore he says, Wake up, [thou] that sleepest, and arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee. | For this reason he says, Be awake, you who are sleeping, and come up from among the dead, and Christ will be your light. |
| Ephesians 5:15 | See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise, | See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise, | Take care then how you are living, not as unwise, but as wise; |
| Ephesians 5:16 | But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil. | redeeming the time, because the days are evil. | Making good use of the time, because the days are evil. |
| Ephesians 5:17 | Wherefore become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God. | For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what [is] the will of the Lord. | For this reason, then, do not be foolish, but be conscious of the Lord's pleasure. |
| Ephesians 5:18 | And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury; but be ye filled with the holy Spirit, | And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, | And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit; |
| Ephesians 5:19 | Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord; | speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord; | Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord; |
| Ephesians 5:20 | Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father: | giving thanks at all times for all things to him [who is] God and [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, | Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father; |
| Ephesians 5:21 | Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ. | submitting yourselves to one another in [the] fear of Christ. | Letting yourselves be ruled by one another in the fear of Christ. |
| Ephesians 5:22 | Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord: | Wives, [submit yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the Lord, | Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as of the Lord. |
| Ephesians 5:23 | Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body. | for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly. *He* [is] Saviour of the body. | For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body. |
| Ephesians 5:24 | Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things. | But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything. | And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things. |
| Ephesians 5:25 | Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it: | Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it, | Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it; |
| Ephesians 5:26 | That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life: | in order that he might sanctify it, purifying [it] by the washing of water by [the] word, | So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word, |
| Ephesians 5:27 | That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any; such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish. | that *he* might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless. | And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete. |
| Ephesians 5:28 | So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. | So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself. | Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself: |
| Ephesians 5:29 | For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church: | For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly: | For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church; |
| Ephesians 5:30 | Because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. | for we are members of his body; [we are of his flesh, and of his bones.] | Because we are parts of his body. |
| Ephesians 5:31 | For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh. | Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. | For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. |
| Ephesians 5:32 | This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church. | This mystery is great, but *I* speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly. | This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church. |
| Ephesians 5:33 | Nevertheless let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: and let the wife fear her husband. | But *ye* also, every one of you, let each so love his own wife as himself; but as to the wife [I speak] that she may fear the husband. | But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband. |
