Notes on this text (1)

1 Be ye folowers of god as dere children 2 and walke in love even as Christ loved vs and gave him silfe for vs an offerynge and a sacrifyce of a swete saver to god. 3 So that fornicacion and all vnclennes or coveteousnes be not once named amonge you as it be commeth saynctes: 4 nether filthynes nether folishe talkyng nether gestinge which are not comly: but rather gevynge of thankes 5 For this ye knowe that no whormonger other vnclene person or coveteous person which is the worshipper of ymages hath eny inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceave you with vayne wordes. For thorow soche thinges cometh the wrath of God vpon the chyldre of vnbelefe. 7 Be not therfore companions with them. 8 Ye were once dercknes but are now light in the Lorde. Walke as chyldren of light. 9 For the frute of the sprete is in all goodnes rightewesnes and trueth. 10 Accept that which is pleasinge to the Lorde: 11 and have no fellishippe with the vnfrutfull workes of dercknes: but rather rebuke them. 12 For it is shame even to name those thinges which are done of them in secrete: 13 but all thinges when they are rebuked of the light are manifest. For whatsoever is manifest that same is light. 14 Wherfore he sayth: awake thou that slepest and stond vp from deeth and Christ shall geve the light. 15 Take hede therfore that ye walke circuspectly: not as foles: but as wyse 16 redemynge the tyme: for the dayes are evyll. 17 Wherfore be ye not vnwyse but vnderstonde what the will of the Lorde is 18 and be not dronke with wyne wherin is excesse: but be fulfilled with the sprete 19 speakynge vnto youre selves in psalmes and ymnes and spretuall songes synginge and makinge melodie to the Lorde in youre hertes 20 gevinge thankes all wayes for all thinges vnto God the father in the name of oure Lorde Iesu Christ: 21 submittinge youre selves one to another in the feare of God. 22 Wemen submit youre selves vnto youre awne husbandes as vnto the Lorde. 23 For the husbande is the wyves heed even as Christ is the heed of the congregacion and the same is the saveoure of the body. 24 Therfore as the congregacion is in subieccion to Christ lykwyse let the wyves be in subieccion to their husbandes in all thinges. 25 Husbandes love youre wyves even as Christ loved the congregacion and gave him silfe for it 26 to sanctifie it and clensed it in the fountayne of water thorow the worde 27 to make it vnto him selfe a glorious congregacion with oute spot or wrynckle or eny soche thinge: but that it shuld be holy and with out blame. 28 So ought men to love their wyves as their awne bodyes. He that loveth his wyfe loveth him sylfe. 29 For no man ever yet hated his awne flesshe: but norissheth and cherisseth it even as the lorde doth the congregacion. 30 For we are members of his body of his flesshe and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cotinue with his wyfe and two shalbe made one flesshe. 32 This is a great secrete but I speake bitwene Christ and the congregacion. 33 Neverthelesse do ye so that every one of you love his wyfe truely even as him silfe. And let the wyfe se that she feare her husbande.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 5:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Ephesians (Homily XVIII)

    There were, it is likely, in the time of our forefathers also, some who "weakened the hands of the people" (Jer. xxxviii. 4.), and brought into practice that which is mentioned by Ezekiel,--or rather who did the works of the false prophets, who "profaned God among His people for handfuls of barley" (Ezek. xiii.

  2. Quotes verse 5:32 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapter VIII)

    … also that Paul has referred to the conjunctions within the Pleroma, showing them forth by means of one; for, when writing of the conjugal union in this life, he expressed himself thus: "This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the Church."

  3. Quotes verse 5:14 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VIII, Chapters III–V)

    Nor had I aught to answer Thee calling to me, "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light." And to Thee showing me on every side, that what Thou saidst was true, I, convicted by the truth, had nothing at all to reply, but the drawling and drowsy words: "Presently, lo, presently;" "Leave …

  4. Quotes verse 5:4 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily VI)

    … this cause he also built theatres in the cities, and having trained those buffoons, by their pernicious influence he causes that kind of pestilence to light upon the whole city, persuading men to follow those things which Paul bade us flee, "foolish talking and jesting." And what is yet more grievous than these things is the subject of the laughter.
