Ephesians 5:1-25

Great(i) 1 Be ye therfore folowers of God as deare chyldren, 2 and walke ye in loue euen as Christ loued vs, and gaue him selfe for vs an offerynge and a sacrifyce of a swete sauer to God 3 As for fornicacyon and all vnclennes, or coueteousnes let it not be once uamed amonge you, as it be commeth saynctes: 4 or fylthines or folysshe talkynge, or iestinge, which are not comly: but rather geuynge of thankes. 5 For thys ye knowe that no whormonger, ether vncleane person, or coueteous person, (which is a worshypper of ymages) hath eny inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Chryst and of God. 6 Let no man deceaue you with vayne wordes. For because of soche thynges commeth the wrath of God, vpon the chyldren of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therfore companyons of them. 8 Ye were somtyme darcknes, but nowe are ye lyght in the Lorde. Walke as children of lyght 9 (For the frute of the sprete consysteth in all goodnes, and ryghtewesnes and trueth.) 10 Searchynge what is acceptable vnto the Lorde. 11 And haue no fellyshyppe with the vnfrutefull workes of darcknes but rather rebuke them. 12 For it is shame euen to name those thynges which are done of them in secrete: 13 but all thynges, when they are brought forthe by the lyght, are manifeste. For whatsoeuer is manifeste, that same is lyght. 14 Wherfore he sayth: awake thou that slepest, and stonde vp from deeth, and Chryst shall geue the lyght. 15 Take hede therfore howe ye walke circumspectly: not as vnwyse, but as wyse men. 16 Wynnynge occasyon, because the dayes are euyll. 17 Wherfore, be ye not vnwyse, but vnderstande what the wyll of the Lorde is, 18 and be not droncke with wyne wherin is excesse: but be fylled with the sprete, 19 speakynge vnto youre selues in psalmes and hymnes, and spretuall songes, synginge and makyng melodie to the Lorde in youre hertes, 20 gyuynge thankes allwayes for all thynges, vnto God the father in the name of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst, 21 submittynge youre selues one to another in the feare of God. 22 Ye wemen, submit youre selues vnto youre awne husbandes, as vnto the Lorde. 23 For the husbande is the wyues heed, euen as Chryst is the heed of the congregacyon, and the same is he that ministreth saluacion vnto the body. 24 Therfore, as the congregacyon is in subieccyon to Chryst, lykewyse let the wyues also be in subieccyon to theyr husbandes in all thinges. 25 Ye husbandes, loue youre wyues, euen as Chryst also loued the congregacyon, and gaue hym selfe for it,
