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.

¹Be ye therefore followers of God, as deare children.

²And 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;

³But fornication and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named amongst you, as becommeth Saints:

⁴Neither filthinesse, nor foolish talking, nor iesting, which are not conuenient: but rather giuing of thankes.

⁵For 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.

⁶Let no man deceiue you with vaine words: for because of these things commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of disobedience.⁶

⁷Bee not yee therefore partakers with them.

⁸For 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.)

¹⁰Proouing what is acceptable vnto the Lord:

¹¹And haue no fellowship with the vnfruitfull workes of darkenesse, but rather reproue them.

¹²For it is a shame euen to speake of those things which are done of them in secret.

¹³But all things that are reprooued, are made manifest by the light: for whatsoeuer doth make manifest, is light.¹³

¹⁴Wherfore hee saith: Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall giue thee light.¹⁴

¹⁵See then that yee walke circumspectly, not as fooles, but as wise,¹⁵

¹⁶Redeming the time, because the dayes are euill.

¹⁷Wherefore be ye not vnwise, but vnderstanding what the will of the Lord is.

¹⁸And bee not drunke with wine, wherein is excesse: but bee filled with the Spirit:

¹⁹Speaking to your selues, in Psalmes, and Hymnes, and Spirituall songs, singing and making melodie in your heart to the Lord,

²⁰Giuing thankes alwayes for all things vnto God, and the Father, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ,

²¹Submitting your selues one to another in the feare of God.

²²Wiues, submit your selues vnto your own husbands, as vnto the Lord.

²³For 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.

²⁴Therefore as the Church is subiect vnto Christ, so let the wiues bee to their owne husbands in euery thing.

²⁵Husbands, loue your wiues, euen as Christ also loued the Church, and gaue himselfe for it:

²⁶That he might sanctifie & cleanse it with the washing of water, by the word,

²⁷That 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.

²⁸So ought men to loue their wiues, as their owne bodies: hee that loueth his wife, loueth himselfe.

²⁹For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh: but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord the Church:

³⁰For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

³¹For this cause shall a man leaue his father and mother, and shall be ioyned vnto his wife, and they two shalbe one flesh.

³²This is a great mysterie: but I speake concerning Christ and the Church.

³³Neuerthelesse, let euery one of you in particular, so loue his wife euen as himselfe, and the wife see that she reuerence her husband.
