his
hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29
Let no corrupt
communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it
may minister grace unto the hearers.
30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed
unto the day of redemption.
31
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil
speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
CHAPTER 5
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2
And 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.
3
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as
becometh saints;
4
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but
rather giving of thanks.
5
For 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.
6
Let no man
deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children
of disobedience.
7
Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8
For ye were sometimes darkness, but
now
are ye
light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness
and righteousness and truth;)
10
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11
And have no fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove
them.
12
For it is a shame even to speak
of those things which are done of them in secret.
13
But all things that are reproved are made manifest
by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that
sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15
See then that ye walk
circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord
is.
18
And be not drunk
with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20
Giving thanks
always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21
Submitting
yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands,
as unto the Lord.
23
For 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.
24
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so
let
the wives
be
to their own husbands in every thing.
25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved
the church, and gave himself for it;
26
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of
water by the word,
27
That 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.
28
So ought men to love
their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29
For no man ever yet hated
his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30
For we are members
