Ephesians 5:22-6:9
Skip Heitzig
Ephesians 5 (NKJV™) | |
22 | Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. |
23 | For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. |
24 | Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. |
25 | Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, |
26 | that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, |
27 | that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. |
28 | So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. |
29 | For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. |
30 | For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. |
31 | "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." |
32 | This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. |
33 | Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. |
Ephesians 6 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. |
2 | "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: |
3 | "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth." |
4 | And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. |
5 | Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; |
6 | not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, |
7 | with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, |
8 | knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free. |
9 | And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him. |
