| Ephesians 5:9 | for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth, | (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth), | Live and act as sons of Light for the effect of the Light is seen in every kind of goodness, uprightness and truth |

| Ephesians 5:21 | subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God. | subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ. | and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. |
| Ephesians 5:22 | The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord, | Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. | Married women, submit to your own husbands as if to the Lord; |
| Ephesians 5:23 | because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body, | For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, [being] himself the saviour of the body. | 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 | but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything. | But as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything. | And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands. |
| Ephesians 5:25 | The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it, | Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; | Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her; |
| Ephesians 5:26 | that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying, | that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, | in order to make her holy, cleansing her with the baptismal water by the word, |
| Ephesians 5:27 | that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished; | that he might present the church 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 Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished. |
| Ephesians 5:28 | so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife himself he doth love; | Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself: | So too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He who loves his wife loves himself. |
| Ephesians 5:29 | for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord the assembly, | for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church; | For never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes the Church; |
| Ephesians 5:30 | because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones; | because we are members of his body. | because we are, as it were, parts of His Body. |
| Ephesians 5:31 | `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be the two for one flesh;` | For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. | "For this reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be as one." |
| Ephesians 5:32 | this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly; | This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church. | That is a great truth hitherto kept secret: I mean the truth concerning Christ and the Church. |
| Ephesians 5:33 | but ye also, every one in particular let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife that she may reverence the husband. | Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and [let] the wife [see] that she fear her husband. | 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. |
