12. For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
13. But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light.
14. Wherefore he saith: Rise thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee.
15. See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise,
16. But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17. Wherefore become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God.
18. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury; but be ye filled with the holy Spirit,
19. Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord;
20. Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father:
21. Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.
22. Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:
23. Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.
24. Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.
25. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it:
26. That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:
27. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any; such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish.
28. So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
29. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:
30. Because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
