¶ The .v. Chapter. &cross2;
¶ He exhorteth them vnto loue, warneth them
to beware of all vnclennes. He teacheth howe
wemen shulde obeye theyr husbandes, and howe
louyngly men ought to intreate theyr wyues.
A Be ye note therfore folowers of God as
deare chyldr&ebar;, and walke ye in loue
euen as note Christ loued vs, and gaue
him selfe for vs an offerynge and
-- --
a sacrifyce of a swete sauer to God note As for
fornicacyon and all vnclennes, or coueteousnes
let it not be once uamed amonge you, as
it be commeth saynctes: or fylthines or folysshe
talkynge, or iestinge, which are not c&obar;ly:
but rather geuynge of thankes. For thys ye
knowe that note no whorm&obar;ger, ether vncleane
person, or coueteous person, (which is a
worshypper of ymages) hath eny inherita&ubar;ce
in the kyngdome of Chryst and of God.
B noteLet no man deceaue you with vayne
wordes. For because of soche thynges commeth
the wrath of God, vpon the chyldren
of disobedience. Be not ye therfore companyons
of them. Ye were somtyme darcknes,
but nowe are ye lyght in the Lorde.
C noteWalke as children of lyght (For þe; frute
of the sprete consysteth in all goodnes, and
ryghtewesnes and trueth.) &cross3; Searchynge
what is acceptable vnto the Lorde. And haue
no fellyshyppe with the vnfrutefull workes
of darcknes but rather rebuke them. For
it is shame eu&ebar; to name those thynges which
are done of them in secrete: but all thynges,
when they are brought forthe by the lyght,
are manifeste. For whatsoeuer is manifeste,
that same is lyght. Wherfore he sayth: awake
thou that slepest, and stonde vp fr&obar; deeth,
and Chryst shall geue the lyght.
D &cross2; Take hede therfore howe ye walke circumspectly:
not as vnwyse, but as wyse m&ebar;.
Wynnynge occasyon, because the dayes are
euyll. Wherfore, be ye not vnwyse, but vnderstande
what the wyll of the Lorde is, and
be not droncke with wyne wherin is excesse:
but be fylled with the sprete, speakynge vnto
youre selues note in psalmes and hymnes,
and spretuall songes, synginge and makyng
melodie to the Lorde in youre hertes, gyuynge
thankes allwayes for all thynges, vnto
God the father in the name of oure Lorde
Iesus Chryst, submittynge youre selues one
to another in the feare of God. &cross3;
E Ye wem&ebar;, submit youre selues vnto youre
awne husbandes, as vnto the Lorde. For
note the husbande is the wyues heed, euen as
Chryst is note the heed of the congregacyon, and
the same is he that ministreth saluacion vnto
the body. Therfore, as the congregacy&obar; is in
subieccyon to Chryst, lykewyse let the wyues
also be in subieccyon to theyr husbandes
in all thinges. Ye husbandes, loue youre wyues,
euen as Chryst also loued the congregacyon,
and gaue hym selfe for it, to sanctifye
it,
F and clensed it in the fountayne of water
thorow the worde, to make it vnto him selfe
a gloryous congregacyon, without spot or
wrynckle, or eny soche thynge: but þt; it shulde
be holy, and without blame. So ought men
to loue theyr wyues, as their awne bodyes.
He that loueth hys wyfe, loueth hym selfe.
For no man euer yet hated hys awne flesshe:
but noryssheth and cherissheth it, euen as the
Lorde doth the congregacyon. For we are
members of his body, of his flesshe, and of
hys bones. noteFor thys cause shall a man leaue
father and mother, ∧ shall be ioyned vnto
his wyfe, and of two shalbe made one flesshe.
Thys is a greate secrete, but I speake of
Chryst and of the congregacyon. Neuerthelesse,
do ye so, that euery one loue hys wyfe
euen as hym selfe, and let the wyfe reuerence
her husbande.
