Ephesians 5:17-27

Common English Bible CEB

17 Because of this, don't be ignorant, but understand the Lord's will.

18 Don't get drunk on wine, which produces depravity. Instead, be filled with the Spirit in the following ways:

19 speak to each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; sing and make music to the Lord in your hearts;

20 always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

21 and submit to each other out of respect for Christ.

22 For example, wives should submit to their husbands as if to the Lord.

23 A husband is the head of his wife like Christ is head of the church, that is, the savior of the body.

24 So wives submit to their husbands in everything like the church submits to Christ.

25 As for husbands, love your wives just like Christ loved the church and gave himself for her.

26 He did this to make her holy by washing her in a bath of water with the word.

27 He did this to present himself with a splendid church, one without any sort of stain or wrinkle on her clothes, but rather one that is holy and blameless.

New International Version NIV

17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,

19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,

20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.

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 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
