Discuss Ephesians 5 Page 11

There is more peace in the home if the husband follows Christ; the wife should be able follow her husband's leadership if he does.

1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

1 Timothy 3:11

Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

Ephesians 5:25

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it

Deuteronomy 17:17

Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away:

Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Colossians Chapter 3

18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

James 4:7

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 Peter 3:1

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be WON by the conversation of the wives;

COMMENTS:

1 Corinthians chapter 7 deals with Marriage.

Submission works both ways.

Shared household duties makes for more Romance.

Shared accounting duties enlightens partnership and goals. Read Proverbs for money advise.

Shared Parenting produces happier, balanced kids. Media is a privilege: not a 1st Amendment right.

1 Corinthians 11:3

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Ephesians 5:23

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.

Ephesians 4:15

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

COMMENT:

If both partners are Christians, then the headship indicated in these few verses, show how it works. As the husband follows Jesus, the wife should have no trouble following her husbands lead.

If there is disagreement, then the two should find scripture to work out a reconciliation.

If one of you is an unbeliever in Jesus; marriage may difficult at times. It is the witness of the saved partner, and their behavior that may bring the unsaved to believe in Jesus one day.

1 Corinthians 7 is the marriage chapter. 1 Corinthians 13 is the Love chapter.

I hope this helps you. Mishael

Paul does cover everthing the church needs for today, we need to him a lot more.

Genesis 1: 28 Our Lords vision and plan for his children is to Multiply and Increase

1. Enlarge your Tent : Tent represents Prayer, our prayer time should be extended- Exodus 33:9

2. Stretch our your curtains : Curtain represent the Holiness - Exodus 26:33

3. Do not hold back : Represent not to be a hindrance to god's work - Luke 9:49-50

4. Lengthen you cords : Represents Love of God Hosea 11:4

5. Strengthen your Stakes : Represents the Word of God Matthew 7:24-25

Ephesians 5:10 and find our what pleases the God.

This what Lord wanted from us and it pleased to him

Amen.

Valarie, There are many verses concerning being thankful. King David is most thankful in the book of Psalms

Psalm 106:1 Psalm 107:1 Ephesians 5:20 1Thessalonians 5:18. Also in the New Testament, Our Lord Jesus

always gave thanks to God the Father. I believe our Father God wants us to always come before him with

a thankful heart. " May the Lord bless you and keep you" numbers 6:24

Michael as long as you uplift Christ in the message and show in the Bible what the world is doing is wrong, my opinion you are doing the Lord's work. But I am a nobody to the world.

Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather (EXPOSE) reprove them.

My wife and I, from the very beginning of our marriage, 32 years ago, made the Lord the foundation of our marriage. We have not been difficulty free all these years and what compounds our lives is; my wife has a twin sister and she is not a believer. She has tried at times to come between my wife and I however, my wife is a strong Christian woman that put her sister in her place! My definition of "family is; you, your spouse, and your children. Everyone else is "extra!" My wife and I are very happy. We love Jesus, we attend church regularly, we love each other, and we have a solid marriage thanks to the Holy Spirit. None of my wife's family go to church nor do any of them believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as savior. We finally moved away from both our extended family and are doing well. Never let Satan drive a wedge in between you or your spouse via anyone or anything! Be obedient to His word and always keep Him nuber one in your life. You wife should be #2 and children #3. God bless....

This scripture is miss used as much or more than any other in the bible. ( Luke 6:37)

1 Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters



1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.



Ephesians 5:5 For this ye (know), that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Revelation 21:8 and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

There are Scripture references to this which are general warnings. The first one we cite is: Ephesians 5:18 "Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit". Apostle Paul warns of high consumption of alcohol which leads to loss of self control & sin, but rather to be filled (drunk) with God's Spirit. A believer filled with the Holy Spirit is truly a joy to be near rather than one who is inebriated. Other references: Luke 21:34, Romans 13:13, 1 Corinthians 5:11, 6:10, Ephesians 5:18, Genesis 9:21, 19:30-36, Proverbs 20:1, 23:20,30,31, are some for you to look at. So, alcohol is not prohibited per se , but warnings are given which should alert us to its use/results.

Ephesians 5 is beautiful. Paul preaches with so much love in his heart. GOD can turn anyone around if he could change Paul like he did. AMEN.

THE BIBLE TELL US TO SUMMIT TO OUR OWN HUSBANDS IN ALL THINGS . Ephesians 5:22-33 King James Version (KJV)
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

23 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.

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. WE NEVER CAN DO RIGHT BY DOING WRONG .

Verse 6- we must be careful not to put faith in everything that we hear. We want to compare what we hear with what we know for a fact is the truth. the TRUTH must be proven by the scripture. Therefore any thing that is not written or that is contrary to the scripture MUST BE REJECTED by saints. The truth is THE WORD OF GOD IN THE SCRIPTURE.The TEN COMMANDMENTS and FAITH IN CHRIST are the LIGHT that we must walk in.people have deviated from THE TRUTH and gone after false doctrines: forgetting the SABBATH that GOD says REMEMBER; worshiping idols(pictures/photos/drawings) they call JESUS...that is not light brethren.. 2timothy 3:15-17, Rom 15:4,Exo 2o, 2 peter 3:14-17, Revelation 12:17, jhn 14 &15

We are not to sin as becoming believers Christians Walker's of light. We are to please God and please him only walking in the will of God and not in our own will that causes us to sin. There is consequences and continually doing wrong. Husband's should love their wife as Christ loved them. Wife's should love their husbands and submit, to the right things that he tells her to do not just anything he want her to do that it's a sin or anyting that displease God. If people will obey this scripture a lot of marriages will be saved in this chapter.

Very True Seeking Revenge and Holding onto Bitterness and Resentment destroys all the Goodness in us. God does not agree with evil and deception and we dont accept what He calls evil as good or let it continue including allowing people to teach their own Carnal and Worldly interpretation of Scripture which leads to others being Deceived Confused and Hurt. We Share God's Truth with them showing they are in error and so giving True Hope and Peace to others. Jesus said in Matthew12:30 He that is not with Me is against Me and he that gathereth not with Me Scattereth Abroad This is also confirmed in Ephesians 5:8-17 which will be shown in our Words and Actions Rom8:1 Lets Shine in the Darkness.

Adultery is a/the action that breaks the covenant of marriage, and doesn't necessarily require lust. In this case ( Matthew 5:28) Jesus points out that simply looking at someone in lust brings a charge of adultery.
As for if one can lust after their wife, the short answer is yes, to lust after someone is to neglect/degrade someone's humanity for own desires. In the world there are evident relationships where this is taking place.
Here are some extra verses.
Ephesians 5:28
1 Corinthians 7:2-4
I hope this is helpful.

BSP- Commandment 3, Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Commandment 9 Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. The 10 commandments are still in effect today, God does not change. Commandment 4 Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.

1 Corinthians 11:3 - But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ and the head of the woman is the man and the head of Christ is God. Ephesians 5:22 - Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 1 Peter 3:7 - Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs t

Ephesians 5:23 View whole chapter See verse in context For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Savior of the body. Read the whole chapter because Paul is addressing the Israelites who needed this same info

Tina, here are some scriptures to help, there are many in Proverbs. Proverbs 3:1-5 - 5:18-19 - 12:4 - 18:22 - 19:14 - 20:6-7 - 31-10 - Ephesians 5:32-33 - Song of Solomon 2:10-13 - Matthew 19:4-6 - Luke 10:27 - John 15:9-12 - 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 - Colossians 3:18-19 - Hebrews 13:4-7. I pray these scriptures will help the young married couple.

Ephesians 5:22-33 These scriptures are great for both husband and wife. A wife is subject to her husband, not as a door mat but as a vessel. Think of it this way, Jesus loved the world so much that he died for it, so a husband should should die out to worldly wants to care for his wife. Also a wife is no longer her own, meaning that he wants and desire should be to please her husband.

1 Peter 3 is a good one to start with. Proverbs 31:10-31, Ephesians 5:22-25.

Ephesians is one of my favorite books, i love chapter 6 with the armor of God.

I appreciate how the Bible is a reminder of how we should be striving to keep our moral standards high. The Bible is very clear on what it says. In these verses it states that if we practice obscene talking, dirty jokes, fornication, etc. we will not inherit Gods Kingdom. Honestly, if we practice these things willingly, and know what the Bible says, what will we say to our heavenly Father!?!?!?!?

Vain without real significance, value, or importance baseless or worthless: vain pageantry vain display. Vanity is placing value on something that does not contain value. similar to a painting sold as a Van Gogh when it is a fake. It is advertised as a million dollar work of art. In reality the painting is worthless, baseless. Vain living is living as a baseless life has worth.

( Ephesians 5:30 : For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.) As we accepted Christ Jesus as our Lord and our Savior, we can face any (thing now, at once), because He lives in and through me/us. Praise King Jesus!

Verse 14-20 talks about revival and it can be connected to us being like water bottles. Before we are saved we are empty but when we get saved we are full. Then we go back and do the things of the world and we are half full. Because we are doing both, the worldly things and the godly things. but they don't mix well. But, when we go to church and get back into church and read the bible we are full.

Do not be amongst those that do unspeakable sins, the church is to preach against it not ignore it, you cant be delivered from unholiness, if your not taught all the ways of the Lord and what true repentance is, with a pure heart, love of the word and praise God, everyone is worthy of his grace and forgiveness, if they turn from the things that go against his will. I pray people get the message

Verse 3~We want to make sure that our speech is clean before God. We should stay away from unclean jokes and words.

WHEN THEY SAW HIM ON THE MOUNT HIS RAIMENT WAS WHITE AS SNOW AND GLORIOUS HIS RAIMENT IS HIS CHURCH HUMANITY, MADE WHITE BY HIS BLOOD THO YOUR SINS BE AS SCARLET THEY SHALL BE WHITE AS SNOW HE WAS PRESENTING TO GOD A GLORIOUS CHURCH WIHTOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE. I WAS NAKED AND YOU CLOTHE ME N HE WAS CLOTHE WITH A VESTURE DIPPED IN BLOOD N HIS NAME IS CALLED WORD OF GOD WE ARE HIS VESTURE. TY JESUS GB

Sounds good But You Can't Walk that Far. Neither Did Enoch,He was Taken Verse 24. To Walk with The LORD, You have to be in Prayer, Read His WORD ONLY No Other Books, No Commentaries, No TV, No Internet, No Games, Tell Others The Way of Salvation by The Blood of The Lamb: do All 24-7. If Married Love HER as Christ Loved The Church( Ephesians 5:25) If Not Married, Don't Get Married. It's Not Hard
