- And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
- Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
- Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children.
- 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.
- 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.
- For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.
- For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth.
- Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
- Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
- Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 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.
- Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.
- In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
- For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
- However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
