Ephesians 5:
Imitate God and live a life
of love just as Jesus loved us enough to give himself up as a sacrifice to God.
Shun greed, sexual immorality, foolish talk, inappropriate jokes, and various
impurities because these are not of God or you will not inherit God's kingdom.
Do not be deceived because God punishes those who are disobedient and we are
to stay away from these people (regardless of how rich, powerful, and
influential). Live as children of light in goodness, righteousness, and
in truth that pleases God, but expose deeds of darkness and avoid them.
Be wise, speak in psalms and sing spiritual songs, and always give God
thanksgiving in all things. Wives are to submit to their husbands in all
things and husbands are to love their wives to make her holy, blameless, and
graceful. The church is married to Christ, so the Church (wives) must
respect Christ (husbands) as Christ loves the church.
Ephesians 6:
Children are to honor their
parents in order to live long on the earth, while parents are to bring up the
children in the training and instruction of God. Slaves should serve their
masters as if they are serving Christ wholeheartedly (attitude of employees at
work) to win the masters' favor. Masters should treat their slaves the
same because God does not discriminate between slave and free (employees and
employers or government). Wear the amour of God in order to withstand
the devil's schemes, which is not a human battle, but of rulers, authorities,
powers of darkness, and spiritual evil forces in the heavenly realms. Pray
in the Spirit in all occasions with various kinds of prayers and requests to
God.

Philippians 1:
Paul prays that we love
and embrace knowledge , insight, and discernment of what is best and expected in
God's eyes through our faith in Jesus Christ. Suffering for the
goodness of God is a noble profession because it encourages others to speak
truth and goodness of God. Some preach Christ out of rivalry and envy, but
do it with love and not selfish ambition that brings division. It is great
to live for Christ but it is better to die in Christ to be with God. Stand
firm in your faith in Christ against all opposition because it brings physical
and spiritual prosperity for eternal life. We are to live for Christ,
believe in Christ, and suffer with Christ.
