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.
Walk in Love
Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
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 even be named among you, as is fitting for 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 coarse jesting, which are not fitting, 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.
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 one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!
Walk in Light
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.
Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.
It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret.
For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them,
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.”
Therefore He says:
“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
Living by the Spirit’s Power
So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are 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.
Therefore do not be unwise, but understand 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 do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; 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 one another 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 to God 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.
For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
Marriage — Christ and the Church
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to 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 head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
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 her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she 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 husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church.
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
And we are members of his body.
“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become 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.
