Ephesians 5 - ESV & NLT

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.
And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people.
For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!
For the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true.For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.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.
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.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.
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.For wives, this means submit to your 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.
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word.For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.
In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.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.
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.”
However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
