shall give thee
light[117]."

(15)Take heed, then, that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as
wise, (16)redeeming the time, because the days are evil. (17)Therefore
be not unwise, but intelligent concerning what is the will of the Lord.
(18)And be not drunk with wine, in which there is sottishness, but be
filled with the Spirit; (19)speaking one to another in psalms and
hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in the heart
to the Lord; (20)giving thanks always for all things in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, to God even the Father; (21)being subject one to
another in the fear of God.

(22)Wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
(23)For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head
of the church; and is himself the saviour of the body. (24)As then the
church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their own
husbands in every thing.

(25)Husbands, love your own wives, as Christ also loved the church, and
gave himself for it; (26)that he might sanctify it, purifying it in the
laver of water by the word, (27)that he might present it to himself a
glorious church, not having blemish, nor wrinkle, nor any such things;
but that it may be holy and unblameable. (28)So ought husbands to love
their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth
himself. (29)For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and
cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: (30)for we are the members
of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. (31)For this reason shall
a man forsake his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,
and the two shall be as one flesh. (32)This mystery is great: but I am
speaking with regard to Christ, and with regard to the church.
(33)Nevertheless let every one of you individually see that each love
his own wife even as himself; but the wife that she stand in awe of the
husband.

CHAP. VI.

CHILDREN, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. (2)"Honour
thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with a promise;)
(3)that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived
upon earth[118]." (4)And, ye fathers, exasperate not your children: but
educate them in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.

(5)Servants, be obedient to your masters after the flesh, with fear and
trembling, in simplicity of your heart as unto Christ; (6)not with
eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as servants
