THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Ephesians (Author Paul)

5:22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

5:23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

5:24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

5:25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

5:26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

5:27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

5:28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

5:29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

5:30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

5:31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

5:32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

5:33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

6:1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

6:2Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)

6:3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

6:4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

6:5Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6:6Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

6:7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

6:8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

6:9And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
