WYC

NIV

15 Therefore, brethren, see ye, how warily ye shall go; not as unwise men, but as wise men,
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,
16 again-buying the time, for the days be evil.
16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not ye be made unwise, but understanding which is the will of God [which is the will of the Lord].
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
18 And do not ye be drunk of wine, in which is lechery [in which is luxury], but be ye filled with the Holy Ghost;
18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,
19 and speak ye to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your hearts to the Lord; [speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your heart to the Lord;]
19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,
20 evermore doing thankings for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God and to the Father [to God and the Father.]
20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21 Be ye subject together in the dread of Christ.
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Women, be they subject to their husbands, as to the Lord,
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
23 for the man is head of the woman, as Christ is head of the church; he is Saviour of his body.
23 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.
24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so [and] women to their husbands in all things.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Men, love ye your wives, as [and] Christ loved the church, and gave himself for it,
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
