14. wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'
15. See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,
16. redeeming the time, because the days are evil;
17. because of this become not fools, but--understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,
18. and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,
19. speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody 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. subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.
22. The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,
23. because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,
24. but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything.
25. The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,
26. that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying,
27. that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;
28. so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife--himself he doth love;
29. for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord--the assembly,
