CHAP. V.
2 After generall exhortations, to loue, 3 to flie fornication, 4 and all vncleannesse, 7 not to conuerse with the wicked, 15 to walke warily, and to be 18 filled with the spirit, 22 he descendeth to the particular dueties, how wiues ought to obey their husbands, 25 and husbands ought to loue their wiues, 32 euen as Christ doth his Church.
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as deare children.
6 Let no man deceiue you with vaine words: for because of these things commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of disobedience.6
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.13
14 Wherfore hee saith: Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall giue thee light.14
15 See then that yee walke circumspectly, not as fooles, but as wise,15
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:
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.
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,
28 So ought men to loue their wiues, as their owne bodies: hee that loueth his wife, loueth himselfe.
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
32 This is a great mysterie: but I speake concerning Christ and the Church.
