Ephesians 5:4

Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks.

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.

For be well assured that no fornicator or immoral person and no money-grubber or in other words idol-worshipper has any share awaiting him in the Kingdom of Christ and of 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.

Ephesians 5:9

For the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth;

Wherefore he saith: Rise thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee.

Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise.

But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Buy up your opportunities, for these are evil times.

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.

On this account do not prove yourselves wanting in sense, but try to understand what the Lord's will is.

because a husband is the Head of his wife as Christ also is the Head of the Church, being indeed the Saviour of this His 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 just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands.

Ephesians 5:30

Because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

because we are, as it were, parts of His Body.

Yet I insist that among you also, each man is to love his own wife as much as he loves himself, and let a married woman see to it that she treats her husband with respect.
