The NAS Strong's Version
Book of Ephesians Chapter 5 Ephesians 5:3-20 [ Verse 3 in Original: Greek ] [ Read Chapter | Discuss these Verses ] 3 But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints ; 4 and there must be no filthiness and silly talk , or coarse jesting , which are not fitting , but rather giving of thanks . 5 For this you know with certainty , that no * immoral or impure person or covetous man , who is an idolater , has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God . 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words , for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience . 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them; 8 for you were formerly darkness , but now you are Light in the Lord ; walk as children of Light 9 (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth ), 10 trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord . 11 Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness , but instead even expose them; 12 for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret . 13 But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light , for everything that becomes visible is light . 14 For this reason it says , "Awake , sleeper , And arise from the dead , And Christ will shine on you." 15 Therefore be careful * how you walk , not as unwise men but as wise , 16 making the most of your time , because the days are evil . 17 So * then * do not be foolish , but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine , for that is dissipation , but be filled with the Spirit , 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs , singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord ; 20 always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God , even the Father ;
