AI-assisted, sourcedEphesians 5:22-33Wives and husbands
About Ephesians 5"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us," with no fornication, uncleanness or covetousness among them, for "ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light." Walk "not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time," and "be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit," singing and "Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God." Wives are to submit to their own husbands "as unto the Lord," and husbands to "love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it," for marriage speaks "concerning Christ and the church."
