About Ephesians Ephesians describes God's plan in Christ, the unity of the church, and how to live as God's people.
1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;SelectedEphesians 5:1Ask
2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.SelectedEphesians 5:2Ask
3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;SelectedEphesians 5:3Ask
4Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.SelectedEphesians 5:4Ask
5For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.SelectedEphesians 5:5Ask
6Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.SelectedEphesians 5:6Ask
7Be not ye therefore partakers with them.SelectedEphesians 5:7Ask
8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:SelectedEphesians 5:8Ask
9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)SelectedEphesians 5:9Ask
10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.SelectedEphesians 5:10Ask
11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.SelectedEphesians 5:11Ask
12For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.SelectedEphesians 5:12Ask
13But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.SelectedEphesians 5:13Ask
14Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.SelectedEphesians 5:14Ask
15See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,SelectedEphesians 5:15Ask
16Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.SelectedEphesians 5:16Ask
17Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.SelectedEphesians 5:17Ask
18And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;SelectedEphesians 5:18Ask
19Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;SelectedEphesians 5:19Ask
20Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;SelectedEphesians 5:20Ask
21Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.SelectedEphesians 5:21Ask
22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.SelectedEphesians 5:22Ask
23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.SelectedEphesians 5:23Ask
24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.SelectedEphesians 5:24Ask
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;SelectedEphesians 5:25Ask
26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,SelectedEphesians 5:26Ask
27That 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.SelectedEphesians 5:27Ask
28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.SelectedEphesians 5:28Ask
29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:SelectedEphesians 5:29Ask
30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.SelectedEphesians 5:30Ask
31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.SelectedEphesians 5:31Ask
32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.SelectedEphesians 5:32Ask
33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.SelectedEphesians 5:33Ask
