CHAPTER 5
and
walk
in
love,
just as
Christ
loved
us
and
gave Himself up
for
us
as
a fragrant
sacrificial
offering
to God.
But
among
you,
as
is proper
among the saints,
there must not be even a hint
of sexual immorality,
or
of any kind
of impurity,
or
of greed.
Nor should there be
obscenity,
foolish talk,
or
crude joking,
which
are out of character,
but
rather
thanksgiving.
For
of this
you can be sure:
No
immoral,
impure,
or
greedy person
(that
is,
an idolater),
has
any
inheritance
in
the
kingdom
of Christ
and
of God.
Let no one
deceive
you
with empty
words,
for
because of
such things
God’s
wrath
comes
on
the
sons
of disobedience.
But
everything
exposed
by
the
light
becomes visible,
for
everything
that
is illuminated
becomes
a light itself.
Do not
get drunk
on wine,
which
leads to
reckless indiscretion.
Instead,
be filled
with
the Spirit.
Speak
to one another
with
psalms,
hymns,
and
spiritual
songs.
Sing
and
make music
in
your
hearts
to the
Lord,
For
the husband
is
head
of the
wife,
just
as
Christ
is the head
of the
church,
His
body,
of which He
is the Savior.
Now
as
the
church
submits
to Christ,
so
also
wives should submit
to their
husbands
in
everything.
and to
present
her
to Himself
as a glorious
church,
without
stain
or
wrinkle
or
any
such blemish,
but
holy
and
blameless.
In the same way,
husbands
ought
to love
their
wives
as
their own
bodies.
He
who loves
his
wife
loves
himself.
Indeed,
no one
ever
hated
his
own
body,
but
he nourishes
and
cherishes
it,
just as
Christ
does
the
church.
“For this reason
a man
will leave
his
father
and
mother
and
be united
to
his
wife,
and
the
two
will become
one
flesh.”
Nevertheless,
each one
of you
also
must love
his
wife
as he loves
himself,
and
the
wife
must respect
her
husband.
