Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Ephesians 5

2 After general exhortations, to love, 3 to flee fornication, 4 and all uncleanness, 7 not to converse with the wicked, 15 to walk warily, and to be 18 filled with the Spirit, 22 he descendeth to the particular duties, how wives ought to obey their husbands, 25 and husbands ought to love their wives, 32 even as Christ doth his Church.

 5:1 ¶ Be 1096 z5737 ye y3402 z0 therefore 3767 followers 3402 of God, 2316 as 5613 dear 27 children; 5043

 5:2 And 2532 walk 4043 z5720 in 1722 love, 26 as 2531 Christ 5547 also 2532 hath loved 25 z5656 us, 2248 and 2532 hath given 3860 z5656 himself 1438 for 5228 us 2257 an offering 4376 and 2532 a sacrifice 2378 to God 2316 for 1519 a sweetsmelling 2175 savour. 3744

 5:3 But y2532 x1161 fornication, 4202 and y1161 x2532 all 3956 uncleanness, 167 or 2228 covetousness, 4124 let it y3687 z0 not be once y3366 named 3687 z5744 x3366 among 1722 you, 5213 as 2531 becometh 4241 z5719 saints; 40

 5:4 Neither 2532 filthiness, 151 nor 2532 foolish talking, 3473 nor 2228 jesting, 2160 which y3588 are y433 z0 not y3756 convenient: 433 z5723 x3756 but 235 rather 3123 giving of thanks. 2169

 5:5 For 1063 this 5124 ye know, 2075 1097 z5748 z5723 that 3754 no 3756 y3956 whoremonger, 4205 nor 2228 unclean person, 169 nor 2228 covetous man, 4123 who 3739 is 2076 z5748 an idolater, 1496 hath 2192 z5719 any x3956 inheritance 2817 in 1722 the x3588 kingdom 932 of Christ 5547 and 2532 of God. 2316

 5:6 Let y538 z0 no man 3367 deceive 538 z5720 you 5209 with vain 2756 words: 3056 for 1063 because 1223 of these things 5023 cometh 2064 z5736 the x3588 wrath 3709 of God 2316 upon 1909 the x3588 children 5207 of disobedience. 543

 5:7 Be 1096 z0 not 3361 ye y1096 z5737 therefore 3767 partakers 4830 with them. 846

 5:8 For 1063 ye were 2258 z5713 sometimes 4218 darkness, 4655 but 1161 now 3568 [are ye] light 5457 in 1722 the Lord: 2962 walk 4043 z5720 as 5613 children 5043 of light: 5457

 5:9 (For 1063 the x3588 fruit 2590 of the x3588 Spirit 4151 [is] in 1722 all 3956 goodness 19 and 2532 righteousness 1343 and 2532 truth;) 225

 5:10 Proving 1381 z5723 what 5101 is 2076 z5748 acceptable 2101 unto the x3588 Lord. 2962

 5:11 And 2532 have y4790 z0 no y3361 fellowship 4790 z5720 x3361 with the x3588 unfruitful 175 works 2041 of darkness, 4655 but 1161 rather 3123 2532 reprove 1651 z5720 [them].

 5:12 For 1063 it is 2076 z5748 a shame 149 even 2532 to speak 3004 z5721 of those things y2931 z0 which are done 1096 z5740 of 5259 them 846 in secret. 2931

 5:13 But 1161 all things 3956 that are reproved 1651 z5746 are made manifest 5319 z5743 by 5259 the x3588 light: 5457 for 1063 whatsoever 3956 doth make manifest 5319 z5746 is 2076 z5748 light. y5457 x5547

 5:14 Wherefore 1352 he saith, 3004 z5719 Awake x1453 thou y1453 z5669 that sleepest, 2518 z5723 and 2532 arise 450 z5628 from 1537 the x3588 dead, 3498 and 2532 Christ 5547 shall give y2017 z0 thee y4671 light. 2017 z5692 x4671

 5:15 See 991 z5720 then 3767 that 4459 ye walk 4043 z5719 circumspectly, 199 not 3361 as 5613 fools, 781 but 235 as 5613 wise, 4680

 5:16 Redeeming 1805 z5734 the x3588 time, 2540 because 3754 the x3588 days 2250 are 1526 z5748 evil. 4190

 5:17 Wherefore 1223 5124 be x1096 ye y1096 z5737 not 3361 unwise, 878 but 235 understanding 4920 z5723 what 5101 the x3588 will 2307 of the x3588 Lord 2962 [is].

 5:18 And 2532 be y3182 z0 not y3361 drunk 3182 z5745 x3361 with wine, 3631 wherein 1722 3739 is 2076 z5748 excess; 810 but 235 be filled 4137 z5744 with 1722 the Spirit; 4151

 5:19 Speaking 2980 z5723 to yourselves 1438 in psalms 5568 and 2532 hymns 5215 and 2532 spiritual 4152 songs, 5603 singing 103 z5723 and 2532 making melody 5567 z5723 in 1722 your 5216 heart 2588 to the x3588 Lord; 2962

 5:20 Giving thanks 2168 z5723 always 3842 for 5228 all things 3956 unto God 2316 and 2532 the Father 3962 in 1722 the name 3686 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ; 5547

 5:21 Submitting yourselves 5293 z5746 one to another 240 in 1722 the fear 5401 of God. 2316

 5:22 Wives, 1135 submit yourselves 5293 z5732 unto your own 2398 husbands, 435 as 5613 unto the x3588 Lord. 2962

 5:23 For 3754 the x3588 husband 435 is 2076 z5748 the head 2776 of the x3588 wife, 1135 even 2532 as 5613 Christ 5547 is the head 2776 of the x3588 church: 1577 and 2532 he 846 is 2076 z5748 the saviour 4990 of the x3588 body. 4983

 5:24 Therefore 235 as y5618 x5613 the x3588 church 1577 is subject y5293 z5743 unto x5293 Christ, 5547 so 3779 y2532 [let] the x3588 wives 1135 [be] to their own 2398 husbands 435 in 1722 every thing. 3956

 5:25 Husbands, 435 love 25 z5720 your 1438 wives, 1135 even as 2531 Christ 5547 also 2532 loved 25 z5656 the x3588 church, 1577 and 2532 gave 3860 z5656 himself 1438 for 5228 it; 846

 5:26 That 2443 he might sanctify 37 z5661 and cleanse x2511 it y2511 z5660 x846 with the x3588 washing 3067 of water 5204 by 1722 the word, 4487

 5:27 That 2443 he might present 3936 z5661 it 846 to himself 1438 a glorious 1741 church, 1577 not 3361 having 2192 z5723 spot, y4696 x4695 or 2228 wrinkle, 4512 or 2228 any 5100 such thing; 5108 but 235 that 2443 it should be 5600 z5753 holy 40 and 2532 without blemish. 299

 5:28 So 3779 ought 3784 z5719 men 435 to love 25 z5721 their 1438 wives 1135 as 5613 their own 1438 bodies. 4983 He that loveth 25 z5723 his 1438 wife 1135 loveth 25 z5719 himself. 1438

 5:29 For 1063 no man 3762 ever yet 4218 hated 3404 z5656 his own 1438 flesh; 4561 but 235 nourisheth 1625 z5719 and 2532 cherisheth 2282 z5719 it, 846 even x2532 as 2531 y2532 the x3588 Lord 2962 the x3588 church: 1577

 5:30 For 3754 we are 2070 z5748 members 3196 of his 846 body, 4983 of 1537 his 846 flesh, 4561 and 2532 of 1537 his 846 bones. 3747

 5:31 For y473 this cause 5127 x473 shall y2641 z0 a man 444 leave 2641 z5692 his y846 x848 father 3962 and 2532 mother, 3384 and 2532 shall be joined 4347 z5701 unto 4314 his y846 x848 wife, 1135 and 2532 they two 1417 shall be 2071 z5704 one 3391 y1519 flesh. 4561

 5:32 This 5124 is 2076 z5748 a great 3173 mystery: 3466 but 1161 I 1473 speak 3004 z5719 concerning 1519 Christ 5547 and 2532 y1519 the x3588 church. 1577

 5:33 Nevertheless 4133 y2532 let y25 z0 every one 1538 y1520 of you 5210 x2532 in particular 2596 x1528 so 3779 love 25 z5720 his 1438 wife 1135 even as 5613 himself; 1438 and 1161 the x3588 wife 1135 [see] that 2443 she reverence 5399 z5741 [her] husband. 435
