Ephesians 5:13-23 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

13. but all things exposed by the light are made visible,

14. for everything made visible is light. Therefore it says, Wake up, sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.

15. Therefore, consider carefully how you live, not as unwise but as wise,

16. making the most of the time because the days are evil.

17. Because of this do not become foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

18. And do not be drunk with wine (in which is dissipation), but be filled by the Spirit,

19. speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and singing praise in your heart to the Lord,

20. giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father,

21. being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ

22. —wives to their own husbands as to the Lord,

23. because the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church (he himself being the Savior of the body).
