Ephesians 5:12-25 Modern English Version (MEV)

12. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

13. But all things are exposed when they are revealed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

14. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep,arise from the dead,and Christ will give you light.”

15. See then that you walk carefully, not as fools, but as wise men,

16. making the most of the time because the days are evil.

17. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

18. Do not be drunk with wine, for that is reckless living. But be filled with the Spirit.

19. Speak to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

20. Give thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

21. being submissive to one another in the fear of God.

22. Wives, be submissive to your own husbands as unto the Lord.

23. For the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head and Savior of the church, which is His body.

24. But as the church submits to Christ, so also let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

25. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it,
