Ephesians 5:16-25 New English Translation (NET)

16. taking advantage of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

17. For this reason do not be foolish, but be wise by understanding what the Lord’s will is.

18. And do not get drunk with wine, which is debauchery, but be filled by the Spirit,

19. speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your hearts to the Lord,

20. always giving thanks to God the Father for each other in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

21. and submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

22. Wives, submit to your 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.

24. But 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 for her
