49:005:013 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

49:005:014 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

49:005:015 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

49:005:016 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

49:005:017 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

49:005:018 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

49:005:019 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

49:005:020 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

49:005:021 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

49:005:022 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

49:005:023 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

49:005:024 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

49:005:025 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

49:005:026 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

49:005:027 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.

49:005:028 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

49:005:029 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

49:005:030 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

49:005:031 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

49:005:032 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

49:005:033 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

49:006:001 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

49:006:002 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

49:006:003 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

49:006:004 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

49:006:005 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

49:006:006 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

49:006:007 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
