Ephesians 5:22 — Ephesians 6:10

22 ^1aWives, be ^bsubject ²to your ³own husbands as to the Lord;

23 For a husband is ^1ahead of the wife as also Christ is ^bHead of the church, He Himself being the ²Savior of the Body.

24 ¹But as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be subject to their husbands in ²everything.

25 Husbands, ^1alove your wives even ²as Christ also ^bloved the church and gave Himself up for her

26 That He might ^1asanctify her, cleansing her by the ^2bwashing of the ³water in the ^4cword,

27 That He might ^1apresent the ^2bchurch to Himself ³glorious, not having ⁴spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that she would be ^5choly and ^dwithout blemish.

28 In the same way the husbands also ought to ^alove their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his own wife loves himself.

29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but ^1anourishes and ^bcherishes it, even as Christ also the church,

30 Because we are ^amembers of His ^bBody.

31 ^aFor this cause a man shall ¹leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall be ^2bone flesh.

32 This ^amystery is great, but I speak with regard to ¹Christ ^band the church.

33 Nevertheless you also, each one of you, in the same way ^alove ¹your own wife as yourself; and the wife should ^2bfear her husband.

CHAPTER 6

1 ^1aChildren, obey your parents ^2bin the Lord, for this is ³right.

2 ^1a“Honor your father and mother,” which is the ²first commandment with a promise,

3 ^a“That it may be ¹well with you and that you may ¹live long on the earth.”

4 And fathers, do not ¹provoke your children to anger, but ^anurture them in the discipline and ²admonition of the Lord.

5 ^1aSlaves, ²be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh with ^3bfear and trembling, in ^4csingleness of your heart, ^5das to Christ;

6 Not with eye-service as ^amen-pleasers but ¹as ^bslaves of Christ, doing the ^cwill of God from the ^dsoul;

7 With good will ^aserving as slaves, ^1bas serving the Lord and not men;

8 Knowing that whatever good thing each one does, ¹this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a ^aslave or a free man.

9 And masters, do the same things toward them, ^1agiving up your threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in the heavens, and there is ^bno respect of persons with Him.

10 ¹Finally, ²be ^3aempowered ^4bin the Lord and in the ^cmight of His strength.

Ephesians 4:17 — Ephesians 5:21

17 This therefore I say and ¹testify ^ain the Lord, that you no longer ^2bwalk as the ^cGentiles also ^dwalk in the ^3evanity of their mind,

18 Being ^1adarkened in their understanding, alienated from the ^2blife of God because of the ^3cignorance which is in them, because of the ^4dhardness of their heart;

19 Who, ^1abeing past feeling, have ^bgiven themselves over to lasciviousness to work all uncleanness in greediness.

20 But you did not so ^1alearn Christ,

21 If indeed you have heard Him and have been ^ataught in Him as the ^1breality is in Jesus,

22 ¹That you ^2aput off, as regards your ³former manner of life, the ^4bold man, which is being corrupted according to the lusts of ⁵the deceit,

23 And that you be ^1arenewed in the ^2bspirit of your mind

24 And ^1aput on the ^2bnew man, which was ^ccreated according to ³God in ^4drighteousness and ^4eholiness of ⁵the ^freality.

25 ¹Therefore having ^aput off the ^2blie, speak ^2ctruth each one with his neighbor, for we are ^dmembers one of another.

26 Be ^1aangry, yet do ^bnot sin; do not let the ^csun go down on your ^2dindignation,

27 Neither ¹give place to the ^adevil.

28 He who steals should ^1asteal no more, but rather should ^2blabor, working with his own ^chands in ³that which is respectable, that he may have something to ^2dshare with him who has need.

29 Let no ^1acorrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but only that which is good for ^2bbuilding up, according to the need, that it may give ^3cgrace to those who hear.

30 And do not ^1agrieve the Holy ²Spirit of God, ³in whom you were ^4bsealed ⁵unto the day of ^6credemption.

31 Let all bitterness and anger and wrath and clamor and evil speaking be ^aremoved from you, with all malice.

32 And be ^akind to one another, ^1btenderhearted, ^2cforgiving one another, even as ³God in Christ also ⁴forgave you.

CHAPTER 5

1 Be therefore ^1aimitators of God, as beloved children;

2 And ^awalk in ^1blove, even as ²Christ also ^cloved ³us and gave Himself up for us, an ⁴offering and a ^4dsacrifice to God for a ^5esweet-smelling savor.

3 But ^1afornication and all uncleanness or greediness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for ²saints,

4 And ^aobscenity and foolish talking or sly, filthy jesting, which are not becoming, but rather the ^1bgiving of thanks.

5 For this you ¹realize, ²knowing that every fornicator or unclean person or greedy person (who is an idolater) has no inheritance in the ^3akingdom of Christ and of God.

6 Let no one deceive you with ^avain words, for because of these things the ^bwrath of God is coming upon the ^csons of disobedience.

7 Therefore do not be ^apartakers with them;

8 For you were ^aonce ^1bdarkness but are now ^1clight ^din the Lord; ^2ewalk as ^3fchildren of light

9 (For the ^afruit of the light consists in all ¹goodness and ^brighteousness and ^ctruth),

10 ^aProving what is well pleasing to the Lord.

11 And do not ^aparticipate in the ¹unfruitful ^bworks of darkness, but rather even ^2creprove them.

12 For the things which are done by them in secret it is shameful even to speak of.

13 But all things which are ^1areproved are made manifest by the light; for everything that makes ^bmanifest is light.

14 Therefore He says, ^aAwake, ¹sleeper, and ^barise from the ^cdead, and ²Christ will ^dshine on you.

15 ¹Look therefore carefully how you ^awalk, not as unwise, but as ^bwise,

16 ^1aRedeeming the time, because the ^2bdays are evil.

17 Therefore do not be foolish, but ^1aunderstand what the ^bwill of the Lord is.

18 And do not be ¹drunk with ^awine, in which is dissoluteness, but be ^1bfilled in ^cspirit,

19 ¹Speaking to one another in ^2apsalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and psalming with your heart to the Lord,

20 ^aGiving thanks ¹at all times for all things ²in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to our God and Father,

21 Being ^1asubject to ²one another in the ³fear of Christ:

Ephesians 3:19 — Ephesians 4:16

19 And to know the ¹knowledge-surpassing ^alove of Christ, that you may be ^bfilled ²unto all the ^3cfullness of ⁴God.

20 ¹But ^ato Him who is ^bable to do superabundantly above all that we ²ask or think, according to the ^3cpower which operates in us,

21 ^aTo Him be the ¹glory in the ^2bchurch ³and in ⁴Christ Jesus unto ⁵all the generations forever and ever. Amen.

CHAPTER 4

1 I beseech you therefore, ¹I, the ^2aprisoner ^bin the Lord, to ^3cwalk worthily of the ^dcalling with which you were ^ecalled,

2 With all ^1alowliness and ^bmeekness, with ^clong-suffering, bearing one another in ^dlove,

3 Being diligent to ¹keep the ^2aoneness of the Spirit in the uniting ^3bbond of ^cpeace:

4 ¹One ^aBody and one Spirit, even as also you were called in one ^2bhope of your ^ccalling;

5 One ^1aLord, one ^2bfaith, one ^cbaptism;

6 One ^1aGod and ^bFather of ²all, who is ³over all and through all and in all.

7 ¹But to each one of us ^2agrace was given according to the ^3bmeasure of the ^cgift of Christ.

8 Therefore the Scripture says, “Having ^aascended to the ¹height, He led captive ²those taken captive and gave ^3bgifts to men.”

9 (Now this, “He ^aascended,” what is it except that He also descended into the ^1blower parts of the earth?

10 He who descended, He is also the One who ascended ^afar above all the heavens that He might ^1bfill all things.)

11 And He Himself gave ¹some as ^aapostles and some as ^bprophets and some as ^cevangelists and some as ²shepherds and ^dteachers,

12 For the ^1aperfecting of the saints ²unto the work of the ^3bministry, ²unto the ^4cbuilding up of the ^dBody of Christ,

13 Until we all ¹arrive at the ^2aoneness of the ^bfaith and of the full ^cknowledge of the ^3dSon of God, at a ^4efull-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the ^5ffullness of ³Christ,

14 That we may be no longer ^1alittle children tossed by ²waves and carried about by every ³wind of ^bteaching in the ⁴sleight of men, in ^ccraftiness with a view to a ⁵system of error,

15 But ¹holding to truth in ^2alove, we may ^3bgrow up into Him in all things, who is the ^4cHead, Christ,

16 ¹Out from whom ^aall the Body, being ^2bjoined together and being ²knit together through every ^3cjoint of ⁴the rich supply ⁵and through the ⁶operation in the ^dmeasure of ⁷each one part, ⁸causes the ^9egrowth of the Body unto the ^fbuilding up of itself in ^10glove.

Ephesians 2:11 — Ephesians 3:18

11 Therefore remember that once you, the ^aGentiles in the flesh, those who are called ^1buncircumcision by that which is called ^ccircumcision in the flesh made by hands,

12 That you were at that time ¹apart from Christ, ^aalienated from the ²commonwealth of ^bIsrael, and strangers to the ^3ccovenants of the promise, having ^4dno hope and ⁵without God in the ⁶world.

13 ¹But now in Christ Jesus you who were once ^2afar off have become ³near in the ^4bblood of Christ.

14 For He Himself is ¹our ^2apeace, He who has made ³both ^bone and has broken down the middle ⁴wall of partition, the ⁵enmity,

15 ^1aAbolishing in His ²flesh the ³law of the commandments in ⁴ordinances, that He might ⁵create the two ⁶in Himself ⁷into ⁸one ^bnew man, so ^9cmaking peace,

16 And might ^areconcile ¹both in ^2bone Body to ³God through the ⁴cross, having ⁵slain the enmity ⁶by it.

17 And ¹coming, He ^aannounced peace as the ^bgospel to you who were ^2cfar off, and peace to those who were ^3dnear,

18 For ¹through Him we both have ^2aaccess ³in ^bone Spirit unto the ^4cFather.

19 So then ¹you are no longer ^2astrangers and sojourners, but you are ^3bfellow citizens with the saints and ⁴members of the ^chousehold of God,

20 Being ^1abuilt upon the ^2bfoundation of the ^capostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the ^3dcornerstone;

21 In ¹whom ²all the building, being ^3afitted together, is ^4bgrowing into a holy ^5ctemple ⁶in the Lord;

22 In whom ¹you ²also are being built together into a ^3adwelling place of God ^bin ⁴spirit.

CHAPTER 3

1 ¹For this cause I Paul, the ^2aprisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you, the Gentiles —

2 ¹If indeed you have heard of the ^2astewardship of the ^3bgrace of God which was given to me for you,

3 That by ^1arevelation the ^bmystery was ^cmade known to me, as I have ^dwritten previously in brief,

4 By which, in reading it, you can perceive my understanding in the ^1amystery of Christ,

5 Which in other generations was ^1anot made known to the sons of men, as it has now been ^brevealed to His holy ^2capostles and ²prophets in ³spirit,

6 That in Christ Jesus the Gentiles are ^1afellow heirs and ^2bfellow members of the Body and ^3cfellow partakers of the ^dpromise through the gospel,

7 Of which I became a ^1aminister according to the ^2bgift of the ^cgrace of God which was given to me according to the ^doperation of His ³power.

8 To me, ¹less than the ^aleast of all saints, was this ^bgrace given to announce to the ^cGentiles the ²unsearchable ^3driches of Christ as the gospel

9 And to enlighten all that they may see what the ^1aeconomy of the ^2bmystery is, which ³throughout the ages has been ^chidden in God, who created all things,

10 In order that now to the ^1arulers and the authorities in the ^bheavenlies the multifarious ^2cwisdom of God might be made known through the ^3dchurch,

11 According to the ¹eternal ^apurpose which He ²made in ³Christ Jesus our Lord,

12 In whom we have ^aboldness and ^1baccess in confidence through ^2cfaith in Him.

13 Therefore I ask you not to faint at my ^aafflictions for your sake, since they are your glory.

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the ^1aFather,

15 Of whom every ¹family ^ain the heavens and on earth is ²named,

16 ¹That He would grant you, according to the ^2ariches of His glory, to be ^3bstrengthened with ^4cpower through His ⁵Spirit ⁶into the ^dinner man,

17 That Christ may make His ^ahome in your ¹hearts through ²faith, that you, being ^3brooted and grounded in ^4clove,

18 May be full of strength to ¹apprehend with ^2aall the saints what the ³breadth and length and height and depth are
