Popular Bible Verses from Ephesians 5

Share

You are God's children and he loves you very much. So you must try to be like him. Show that you love other people. Remember how much Christ loved us. He gave himself as a sacrifice on our behalf. He offered himself in a way that pleased God, like a sacrifice with a lovely smell.

So you must be very careful how you live. Live like people who are wise. Do not live like fools. Many bad things are happening in these days. So, whenever you have a chance to do something good, do as much as you can.

Do not drink too much wine so that you become drunk. That will destroy your life. Instead, let God's Spirit fill you. He will help you to speak to each other with all kinds of spiritual songs. Sing psalms from the Bible, and Christian songs. Praise the Lord with songs from inside yourselves. And always thank God the Father for everything, by our Lord Jesus Christ's name.

Do not live like fools. But instead, understand what the Lord wants you to do.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church. He even agreed to die on its behalf.

Once your minds were completely in the dark. But now you belong to the Lord. As a result, you have become full of light. So now you must live as people who belong to the light.

Serve one another to show that you respect Christ as your master.

Wives, obey your own husbands, as you obey the Lord.

But each one of you husbands should understand this: love your own wife as you love yourself. And every wife among you must respect her husband.

The Bible says this: ‘When a man marries, he leaves his father and his mother. Instead, God joins the man and his wife together. The two people become like one body.’

People whose minds are in the dark do things that have no good purpose. Keep away from wrong things like that. Instead, show how bad those things really are.
