Ephesians 5:7-29

[7] not  ye  therefore  partakers  with them.  [8] For  sometimes  darkness,  but  now  are ye light  in  the Lord:  walk  as  children  of light:  [9] (For  the fruit  is in  all  goodness  and  righteousness  and  truth;)  [10] Proving  what  acceptable  unto the Lord.  [11] And  no  fellowship  with the unfruitful  works  of darkness,  but  rather  reprove  [12] For  even  to speak  which are done  of  them  in secret.  [13] But  all things  that are reproved  are made manifest  by  the light:  for  whatsoever  doth make manifest  light.  [14] Wherefore  he saith,  Awake thou  that sleepest,  and  arise  from  the dead,  and  Christ  light.  [15] See  then  that  ye walk  circumspectly,  not  as  fools,  but  as  wise,  [16] Redeeming  the time,  because  the days  evil.  [17] Wherefore  be ye  not  unwise,  but  understanding  what  the will  of the Lord  [18] And  not  drunk  with wine,  wherein  excess;  but  be filled  with  the Spirit;  [19] Speaking  to yourselves  in psalms  and  hymns  and  spiritual  songs,  singing  and  making melody  in  heart  to the Lord;  [20] Giving thanks  always  for  all things  unto God  and  the Father  in  the name  Lord  Jesus  Christ;  [21] Submitting yourselves  one to another  in  the fear  [22] Wives,  unto your own  husbands,  as  unto the Lord.  [23] For  the husband  the head  of the wife,  even  as  Christ  is the head  of the church:  and  he  the saviour  of the body.  [24] Therefore  the church  is subject  unto Christ,  so  let the wives  husbands  in  every thing.  [25] Husbands,  love  your  wives,  even as  Christ  also  loved  the church,  and  gave  himself  for  it;  [26] That  he might sanctify  and cleanse it  with the washing  of water  by  the word,  [27] That  he might present  it  to himself  a glorious  church,  not  having  spot,  or  wrinkle,  or  any  such thing;  but  that  holy  and  without blemish.  [28] So  ought  men  to love  their  wives  as  their own  bodies.  He that loveth  his  wife  loveth  himself.  [29] For  no man  ever yet  hated  his own  flesh;  but  nourisheth  and  cherisheth  it,  even as  the church:
