Ephesians 5:22--6:9

5:22

Wives
<1135>_,

submit yourselves
<5293> (5732)

unto your own
<2398>

husbands
<435>_,

as
<5613>

unto the Lord
<2962>_.

5:23

For
<3754>

the husband
<435>

is
<2076> (5748)

the head
<2776>

of the wife
<1135>_,

even
<2532>

as
<5613>

Christ
<5547>

is the head
<2776>

of the church
<1577>_:

and
<2532>

he
<846>

is
<2076> (5748)

the saviour
<4990>

of the body
<4983>_.

5:24

Therefore
<235>

as
<5618>

the church
<1577>

is subject
<5293> (5743)

unto Christ
<5547>_,

so
<3779> <2532>

[let] the wives
<1135>

[be] to their own
<2398>

husbands
<435>

in
<1722>

every thing
<3956>_.

5:25

Husbands
<435>_,

love
<25> (5720)

your
<1438>

wives
<1135>_,

even as
<2531>

Christ
<5547>

also
<2532>

loved
<25> (5656)

the church
<1577>_,

and
<2532>

gave
<3860> (5656)

himself
<1438>

for
<5228>

it
<846>_;

5:26

That
<2443>

he might sanctify
<37> (5661)

and cleanse it
<2511> (5660)

with the washing
<3067>

of water
<5204>

by
<1722>

the word
<4487>_,

5:27

That
<2443>

he might present
<3936> (5661)

it
<846>

to himself
<1438>

a glorious
<1741>

church
<1577>_,

not
<3361>

having
<2192> (5723)

spot
<4696>_,

or
<2228>

wrinkle
<4512>_,

or
<2228>

any
<5100>

such thing
<5108>_;

but
<235>

that
<2443>

it should be
<5600> (5753)

holy
<40>

and
<2532>

without blemish
<299>_.

5:28

So
<3779>

ought
<3784> (5719)

men
<435>

to love
<25> (5721)

their
<1438>

wives
<1135>

as
<5613>

their own
<1438>

bodies
<4983>_.

He that loveth
<25> (5723)

his
<1438>

wife
<1135>

loveth
<25> (5719)

himself
<1438>_.

5:29

For
<1063>

no man
<3762>

ever yet
<4218>

hated
<3404> (5656)

his own
<1438>

flesh
<4561>_;

but
<235>

nourisheth
<1625> (5719)

and
<2532>

cherisheth
<2282> (5719)

it
<846>_,

even as
<2531> <2532>

the Lord
<2962>

the church
<1577>_:

5:30

For
<3754>

we are
<2070> (5748)

members
<3196>

of his
<846>

body
<4983>_,

of
<1537>

his
<846>

flesh
<4561>_,

and
<2532>

of
<1537>

his
<846>

bones
<3747>_.

5:31

For
<473>

this cause
<5127>

shall
<2641> (0)

a man
<444>

leave
<2641> (5692)

his
<846>

father
<3962>

and
<2532>

mother
<3384>_,

and
<2532>

shall be joined
<4347> (5701)

unto
<4314>

his
<846>

wife
<1135>_,

and
<2532>

they two
<1417>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

one
<1519> <3391>

flesh
<4561>_.

5:32

This
<5124>

is
<2076> (5748)

a great
<3173>

mystery
<3466>_:

but
<1161>

I
<1473>

speak
<3004> (5719)

concerning
<1519>

Christ
<5547>

and
<1519> <2532>

the church
<1577>_.

5:33

Nevertheless
<4133> <2532>

let
<25> (0)

every one
<1520> <1538>

of you
<5210>

in particular
<2596>

so
<3779>

love
<25> (5720)

his
<1438>

wife
<1135>

even as
<5613>

himself
<1438>_;

and
<1161>

the wife
<1135>

[see] that
<2443>

she reverence
<5399> (5741)

[her] husband
<435>_.

6:1

Children
<5043>_,

obey
<5219> (5720)

your
<5216>

parents
<1118>

in
<1722>

the Lord
<2962>_:

for
<1063>

this
<5124>

is
<2076> (5748)

right
<1342>_.

6:2

Honour
<5091> (5720)

thy
<4675>

father
<3962>

and
<2532>

mother
<3384>_;

(which
<3748>

is
<2076> (5748)

the first
<4413>

commandment
<1785>

with
<1722>

promise
<1860>;)

6:3

That
<2443>

it may be
<1096> (5638)

well
<2095>

with thee
<4671>_,

and
<2532>

thou mayest
<2071> (5704)

live long
<3118>

on
<1909>

the earth
<1093>_.

6:4

And
<2532>_,

ye fathers
<3962>_,

provoke
<3949> (0)

not
<3361>

your
<5216>

children
<5043>

to wrath
<3949> (5720)_:

but
<235>

bring
<1625> (0)

them
<846>

up
<1625> (5720)

in
<1722>

the nurture
<3809>

and
<2532>

admonition
<3559>

of the Lord
<2962>_.

6:5

Servants
<1401>_,

be obedient
<5219> (5720)

to them that are [your] masters
<2962>

according to
<2596>

the flesh
<4561>_,

with
<3326>

fear
<5401>

and
<2532>

trembling
<5156>_,

in
<1722>

singleness
<572>

of your
<5216>

heart
<2588>_,

as
<5613>

unto Christ
<5547>_;

6:6

Not
<3361>

with
<2596>

eyeservice
<3787>_,

as
<5613>

menpleasers
<441>_;

but
<235>

as
<5613>

the servants
<1401>

of Christ
<5547>_,

doing
<4160> (5723)

the will
<2307>

of God
<2316>

from
<1537>

the heart
<5590>_;

6:7

With
<3326>

good will
<2133>

doing service
<1398> (5723)_,

as to the Lord
<2962>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3756>

to men
<444>_:

6:8

Knowing
<1492> (5761)

that
<3754>

whatsoever
<3739> <1437> <5100>

good thing
<18>

any man
<1538>

doeth
<4160> (5661)_,

the same
<5124>

shall he receive
<2865> (5695)

of
<3844>

the Lord
<2962>_,

whether
<1535>

[he be] bond
<1401>

or
<1535>

free
<1658>_.

6:9

And
<2532>_,

ye masters
<2962>_,

do
<4160> (5720)

the same things
<846>

unto
<4314>

them
<846>_,

forbearing
<447> (5723)

threatening
<547>_:

knowing
<1492> (5761)

that
<3754>

your
<5216> <846>

Master
<2962>

also
<2532>

is
<2076> (5748)

in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_;

neither
<2532> <3756>

is there
<2076> (5748)

respect of persons
<4382>

with
<3844>

him
<846>_.
