For we are His creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them.

Therefore, I say this and testify in the Lord: You should no longer walk as the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their thoughts.

No foul language is to come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear.

But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints.

Now as the church submits to Christ, so wives are to submit to their husbands in everything.

In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough in Him to speak as I should.
