hat needs. [4:29]Let no evil word proceed out
of your mouth, but that which is good for useful edification, that it
may afford benefit to those that hear. [4:30]And grieve not the Holy
Spirit of God, by which you were sealed to the day of redemption.
[4:31]Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and
blasphemy, be banished from among you, with all malice. [4:32]But be
kind one to another, merciful, giving one to another, as God also in
Christ gave to you. [5:1]Be therefore followers of God, as dear
children, [5:2]and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave
himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God of good odor.

5 [5:3]Let not fornication and any impurity or covetousness be named
among you, as becomes saints, [5:4]nor indecorum and foolish talking,
or jesting, things not becoming, but rather giving of thanks. [5:5]For
you know this, that no fornicator, or impure, or covetous person, who
is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
[5:6]Let no man deceive you with vain words; for on account of these
comes the wrath of God on the children of disobedience. [5:7]Be not

manifest by the light; for every thing which makes manifest is light.
[5:14]Wherefore he says, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give you light.

6 [5:15]See then that you walk discreetly, not as unwise but as wise,
[5:16] redeeming the time, because the days are evil. [5:17]Be not
foolish therefore, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
[5:18]And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess, but be filled
with the spirit, [5:19]speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making music in your hearts to the Lord,
[5:20]giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ to the God and Father, [5:21]being subject one to another in the
fear of Christ. [5:22]Let wives [be subject] to their husbands as to
the Lord, [5:23]for the husband is the head
