Ephesians 5

¹Bee yee therefore followers of God, as deare children,

²And walke in loue, euen as Christ hath loued vs, and hath giuen himselfe for vs, to be an offering and a sacrifice of a sweete smellling sauour to God.

³But fornication, and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named among you, as it becommeth Saintes,

⁴Neither filthinesse, neither foolish talking, neither iesting, which are things not comely, but rather giuing of thankes.

⁵For this ye know, that no whoremonger, neither vncleane person, nor couetous person, which is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdome of Christ, and of God.

⁶Let no man deceiue you with vaine wordes: for, for such thinges commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of disobedience.

⁷Be not therefore companions with them.

⁸For ye were once darkenesse, but are nowe light in the Lord: walke as children of light,

⁹(For the fruit of the Spirit is in al goodnes, and righteousnes, and trueth)

¹⁰Approuing that which is pleasing to the Lord.

¹¹And haue no fellowship with ye vnfruitfull works of darknes, but euen reproue them rather.

¹²For it is shame euen to speake of the things which are done of them in secret.

¹³But all thinges when they are reproued of the light, are manifest: for it is light that maketh all things manifest.
