Ephesians 5:14-27 World English Bible (WEB)

14. Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

15. Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

16. redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17. Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

18. Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

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

20. giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

21. subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.

22. Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

23. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

24. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

26. that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

27. that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.
