Ephesians 5 - 50/50 (Reversible!) Flashcards
1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in the way of love…
EPHESIANS 5:1-2
…just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
EPHESIANS 5:1-2
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any…
EPHESIANS 5:3
…kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.
EPHESIANS 5:3
4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking…
EPHESIANS 5:4
…which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
EPHESIANS 5:4
5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person…
EPHESIANS 5:5
…is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
EPHESIANS 5:5
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath…
EPHESIANS 5:6-7
…comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
EPHESIANS 5:6-7
8 For you were once darkness…
EPHESIANS 5:8a
…but now you are light in the Lord.
EPHESIANS 5:8a
Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all
EPHESIANS 5:8b-9
…goodness, righteousness and truth)
EPHESIANS 5:8b-9
10 and find out…
EPHESIANS 5:10
…what pleases the Lord.
EPHESIANS 5:10
11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless…
EPHESIANS 5:11
…deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
EPHESIANS 5:11
12 It is shameful even to mention…
EPHESIANS 5:12
…what the disobedient do in secret.
EPHESIANS 5:12
13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible…
EPHESIANS 5:13
…and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.
EPHESIANS 5:13
14 This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper…
EPHESIANS 5:14
…rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
EPHESIANS 5:14
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise…
EPHESIANS 5:15-16
…16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
EPHESIANS 5:15-16
17 Therefore do not be foolish…
EPHESIANS 5:17
…but understand what the Lord’s will is.
EPHESIANS 5:17
18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit…
EPHESIANS 5:18-19a
…19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit.
EPHESIANS 5:18-19a
Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks…
EPHESIANS 5:19b-20
…to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
EPHESIANS 5:19b-20
21 Submit to one another…
EPHESIANS 5:21
…out of reverence for Christ.
EPHESIANS 5:21
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your…
EPHESIANS 5:22
…own husbands as you do to the Lord.
EPHESIANS 5:22
23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is…
EPHESIANS 5:23
…the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
EPHESIANS 5:23
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also…
EPHESIANS 5:24
…wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
EPHESIANS 5:24
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up…
EPHESIANS 5:25-26
…for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
EPHESIANS 5:25-26
27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain…
EPHESIANS 5:27
…or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
EPHESIANS 5:27
28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives…
EPHESIANS 5:28
…as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
EPHESIANS 5:28
29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body…
EPHESIANS 5:29-30
…just as Christ does the church—30 for we are members of his body.
EPHESIANS 5:29-30
31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother…
EPHESIANS 5:31
…and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
EPHESIANS 5:31
32 This is a profound mystery—but I am…
EPHESIANS 5:32
…talking about Christ and the church.
EPHESIANS 5:32
33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as…
EPHESIANS 5:33
…he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
EPHESIANS 5:33
