uncleanness,

covetousness,
let
it
not
even
be
named
among you, as becometh

saints ,
there
must
not
be
even
a
hint
of
sexual
immorality,
or

any
kind
of
impurity,
or
of
greed.
nor filthiness
, nor
foolish talking
, or jesting
, which are not
befitting:
but rather giving
of
thanks
.

things
which

by
them
in
secret

of
.

things
when
they
are
reproved
are
made
manifest
by the light :
for everything that is made
manifest
is
light.
But everything
exposed
by the light becomes
visible,

a
light itself

one
to another in

with
your heart
to the Lord ;

Wives, `be
in
subjection'
unto
your own
husbands ,
as unto
the Lord.
Wives, submit
to
your husbands as to
the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife ,
and
Christ also
is the head of the church, `being'
himself
the
saviour
of the body
.
For the husband is the head of the wife as
Christ is the head of the church, His
body,
of which
He
is
the Savior
.
But
as the church is
subject
to Christ, so `let'
the
wives
also `be'
to their husbands in everything.
Now
as the church submits
to Christ, so also wives
should
submit
to their husbands in everything.

as Christ also
loved the church ,
and gave himself up for it;

he
might
sanctify it
, having
cleansed
it
by the washing of
water
with the word,
to
sanctify her
, cleansing
her
by the washing with water
through
the word,
that
he
might
present the
church
to himself a glorious `
church '
, not
having
spot
or wrinkle or any such thing;
but that
it
should
be
holy and without
blemish
.
and
to
present her
to Himself as
a glorious church, without
stain
or wrinkle or any such blemish,
but holy and blameless
.
Even
so
ought
husbands also
to love their own
wives as their own bodies. He that
loveth
his own
wife loveth
himself :
In
the
same
way,
husbands ought
to love their wives as their own bodies. He who
loves
his wife loves
himself .
for
no man
ever hated his own flesh;
but nourisheth
and cherisheth
it, even
as Christ also
the church ;
Indeed,
no one
ever hated his own body,
but he
nourishes
and cherishes
it, just
as Christ does
the church .
because
we are members of his body.

For this cause
shall
a man leave his father and mother ,
and shall
cleave
to his wife ;
and the two shall
become one flesh.
“
For this reason
a man will
leave his father and mother and be
united
to his wife ,
and the two will
become one flesh. ”
This mystery is great:
but I speak
in
regard
of
Christ and of
the church.
This mystery is profound,
but I am
speaking
about
Christ and the church.
Nevertheless do
ye
also
severally
love
each one his own
wife even
as himself ;
and `let'
the wife `see'
that
she
fear
her husband.
Nevertheless ,
each one of
you
also
must
love
his wife as he
loves
himself ,
and the wife must
respect
her husband.
