| 1 | Be ye therefore followers of God, as deare children. |
| 2 | And walke in loue, as Christ also hath loued vs, and hath giuen himselfe for vs, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling sauour; |
| 3 | But fornication and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named amongst you, as becommeth Saints: |
| 4 | Neither filthinesse, nor foolish talking, nor iesting, which are not conuenient: but rather giuing of thankes. |
| 5 | For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor vncleane person, nor couetous man who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdome of Christ, and of God. |
| 6 | Let no man deceiue you with vaine words: for because of these things commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of disobedience. |
| 7 | Bee not yee therefore partakers with them. |
| 8 | For yee were sometimes darkenesse, but now are yee light in the Lord: walke as children of light, |
| 9 | (For the fruite of the spirit is in all goodnesse and righteousnesse & trueth.) |
| 10 | Proouing what is acceptable vnto the Lord: |
| 11 | And haue no fellowship with the vnfruitfull workes of darkenesse, but rather reproue them. |
| 12 | For it is a shame euen to speake of those things which are done of them in secret. |
| 13 | But all things that are reprooued, are made manifest by the light: for whatsoeuer doth make manifest, is light. |
| 14 | Wherfore hee saith: Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall giue thee light. |
| 15 | See then that yee walke circumspectly, not as fooles, but as wise, |
| 16 | Redeming the time, because the dayes are euill. |
| 17 | Wherefore be ye not vnwise, but vnderstanding what the will of the Lord is. |
| 18 | And bee not drunke with wine, wherein is excesse: but bee filled with the Spirit: |
| 19 | Speaking to your selues, in Psalmes, and Hymnes, and Spirituall songs, singing and making melodie in your heart to the Lord, |
| 20 | Giuing thankes alwayes for all things vnto God, and the Father, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, |
| 21 | Submitting your selues one to another in the feare of God. |
| 22 | Wiues, submit your selues vnto your own husbands, as vnto the Lord. |
| 23 | For the husband is the head of the wife, euen as Christ is the head of the Church: and he is the sauiour of the body. |
| 24 | Therefore as the Church is subiect vnto Christ, so let the wiues bee to their owne husbands in euery thing. |
| 25 | Husbands, loue your wiues, euen as Christ also loued the Church, and gaue himselfe for it: |
| 26 | That he might sanctifie & cleanse it with the washing of water, by the word, |
| 27 | That hee might present it to himselfe a glorious Church, not hauing spot or wrinckle, or any such thing: but that it should bee holy and without blemish. |
| 28 | So ought men to loue their wiues, as their owne bodies: hee that loueth his wife, loueth himselfe. |
| 29 | For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh: but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord the Church: |
| 30 | For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. |
| 31 | For this cause shall a man leaue his father and mother, and shall be ioyned vnto his wife, and they two shalbe one flesh. |
| 32 | This is a great mysterie: but I speake concerning Christ and the Church. |
| 33 | Neuerthelesse, let euery one of you in particular, so loue his wife euen as himselfe, and the wife see that she reuerence her husband. |
