English Bible Presentation Sharing - Ephesians Book, chapter 5, verse 30 in Esv Version

Ephesians 5 : 1 (ESV)

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.

Ephesians 5 : 2 (ESV)

And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Ephesians 5 : 3 (ESV)

But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.

Ephesians 5 : 4 (ESV)

Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.

Ephesians 5 : 5 (ESV)

For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous ( that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Ephesians 5 : 6 (ESV)

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Ephesians 5 : 7 (ESV)

Therefore do not associate with them;

Ephesians 5 : 8 (ESV)

for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

Ephesians 5 : 9 (ESV)

(for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true),

Ephesians 5 : 10 (ESV)

and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.

Ephesians 5 : 11 (ESV)

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

Ephesians 5 : 12 (ESV)

For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.

Ephesians 5 : 13 (ESV)

But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible,

Ephesians 5 : 14 (ESV)

for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

Ephesians 5 : 15 (ESV)

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,

Ephesians 5 : 16 (ESV)

making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

Ephesians 5 : 17 (ESV)

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Ephesians 5 : 18 (ESV)

And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,

Ephesians 5 : 19 (ESV)

addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart,

Ephesians 5 : 20 (ESV)

giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Ephesians 5 : 21 (ESV)

submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Ephesians 5 : 22 (ESV)

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

Ephesians 5 : 23 (ESV)

For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

Ephesians 5 : 24 (ESV)

Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

Ephesians 5 : 25 (ESV)

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

Ephesians 5 : 26 (ESV)

that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

Ephesians 5 : 27 (ESV)

so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.

Ephesians 5 : 28 (ESV)

In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Ephesians 5 : 29 (ESV)

For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,

Ephesians 5 : 30 (ESV)

because we are members of his body.

Ephesians 5 : 31 (ESV)

"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."

Ephesians 5 : 32 (ESV)

This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.

Ephesians 5 : 33 (ESV)

However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
