Ephesians 5:17-27

Lexham English Bible LEB

17 Because of this do not become foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord [is].

18 And do not be drunk with wine (in which is dissipation), but be filled by the Spirit,

19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and singing praise in your heart to the Lord,

20 giving thanks always for all [things] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father,

21 being subject to one another {out of reverence for} Christ

22 --wives to their own husbands as to the Lord,

23 because [the] husband is [the] head of the wife, as also Christ [is the] head of the church (he himself [being the] Savior of the body).

24 But as the church is subject to Christ, thus also wives [should be subject] to their husbands in everything.

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

26 in order that he might sanctify her by cleansing [her] with the washing of water by the word;

27 in order that he might present to himself the church glorious, not having a spot or wrinkle or any such [thing], but that she may be 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.
