Living in the Light
Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.
Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.
Imitators of God
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
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.
Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people.
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes — these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God.
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
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.
Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him.
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!
Children of Light
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them,
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said,
“Awake, O sleeper,
rise up from the dead,
and Christ will give you light.”
“Awake, O sleeper,
rise up from the dead,
and Christ will give you light.”
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Living by the Spirit’s Power
So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Spirit-Guided Relationships: Wives and Husbands
And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
Wives and Husbands
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church.
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.
As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.
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.
In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself.
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church.
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
And we are members of his body.
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
