Ephésiens 5.28
New International Version

¹ Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children
² and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
³ But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.
⁴ Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
⁵ For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person — such a person is an idolater — has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
⁷ Therefore do not be partners with them.
⁸ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
⁹ (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)
¹⁰ and find out what pleases the Lord.
¹¹ Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
¹² It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
¹³ But everything exposed by the light becomes visible — and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.
¹⁴ This is why it is said:
“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
¹⁵ Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise,
¹⁶ making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
¹⁷ Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

¹⁸ Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,
¹⁹ speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,
²⁰ always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
²¹ Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
²² Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
²³ For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
²⁴ Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
²⁶ to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
²⁷ and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
²⁸ In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
²⁹ After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church —
³⁰ for we are members of his body.
³¹ “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
³² This is a profound mystery — but I am talking about Christ and the church.
³³ However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
