with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with
the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making
melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks
always and for everything to God the Father in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one
another out of reverence for Christ….

3. E p h e s ia n s
5 Wives, submit 2 your own husbands,
: 17 - 3 to
as to the Lord. For the husband is the head
of the wife even as Christ is the head of the
church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also
wives should submit in everything to their
husbands….

4. E p h e s ia n s
5 Husbands, 3 2 wives, as Christ loved
: 17 - love your
the church and gave himself up for her, that he
might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the
washing of water with the word, so that he
might present the church to himself in
splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such
thing, that she might be holy and without
blemish….

5. E p h e s ia n s
In the17 way husbands should love their
5 : same - 3 2
wives as their own bodies. He who loves his
wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his
own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just
as Christ does the church, because we are
members of his body. “Therefore a man shall
leave his father and mother and hold fast to his
wife, and the two shall become one flesh….”

6. E p h e s ia n s
This:mystery is profound, and I am saying that
5 17 - 3 2
it refers to Christ and the church. However, let
each one of you love his wife as himself, and let
the wife see that she respects her husband.

It does not envy, it does
it is not proud. It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.”

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or
vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others
above yourselves, not looking to your own interests
but each of you to the interests of others….
In your relationships with one another, have the
same mindset as Christ Jesus.”

“To love at all is to be vulnerable.
Love anything & your heart will be wrung
& possibly broken. If you want to make sure
of keeping it intact you must give it to no one,
not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round
with hobbies & little luxuries;
avoid all entanglements...”
