11. Eph 5:1, Be Imitators Of God
• Eph 5:1-2 Be imitators of God, therefore, as
dearly loved children 2 and live a life of love, just
as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a
fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

3402 μιμητής mimetes {mim-ay-tace'}
Meaning: 1) an imitator
Origin: from 3401; TDNT - 4:659,594; n m
Usage: AV - follower 7; 7
3401 μιμέομαι mimeomai {mim-eh'-om-ahee}

12. Be Imitators
• 1 Co 4:16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
• Heb 6:12 We do not want you to become lazy,
but to imitate those who through faith and
patience inherit what has been promised.
• Heb 13:7…Consider the outcome of their
[patriarchs] way of life and imitate their faith.
• 3 John 11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil
but what is good. Anyone who does what is good
is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has
not seen God.

13. Eph 5:2, Gave Himself Up For Us
• Eph 5:2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved
us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant
offering and sacrifice to God.
• Ro 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in
view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living
sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your
spiritual act of worship. 2 Do not conform any
longer to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then
you will be able to test and approve what God's
will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.

14. Eph 5:1-2, Children Of God
• Eph 5:1-2…as dearly loved children…
• One day, one of my first-grade students,
Taylor, asked his grandmother if he was a child
of God. "Why, of course you are, Taylor," she
replied. He looked puzzled, then responded,
"Well I better get home and tell Mom and
Dad—
• they think I'm theirs!"

15. Eph 5:3-7
• Eph 5:3-7 But among you there must not be even
a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of
impurity, or of greed, because these are improper
for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be
obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are
out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this
you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy
person — such a man is an idolater — has any
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for
because of such things God's wrath comes on
those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be
partners with them.

16. Eph 5:3, Not Be Even A Hint
• Eph 5:3…these are improper for God's holy
people
• Mt 15:16-20 "Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked
them. 17 "Don't you see that whatever enters the
mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the
body? 18 But the things that come out of the
mouth come from the heart, and these make a
man 'unclean.' 19 For out of the heart come evil
thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality,
theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what
make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed
hands does not make him 'unclean.'"

17. Eph 5:4, Obscenity, Foolish Talk Or
Coarse Joking
• Eph 5:4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish
talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but
rather thanksgiving.
• Gal 5:19-21 The acts of the sinful nature are
obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and
debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred,
discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition,
dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness,
orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before,
that those who live like this [present active] will not
inherit the kingdom of God.

18. Eph 5:5, Won’t Inherit The Kingdom
• Eph 5:5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral,
impure or greedy person — such a man is an idolater
— has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of
God.
• 1 Cor 6:9-11 Do you not know that the wicked will not
inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor
adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual
offenders 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards
nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of
God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you
were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of
our God. [washed=aorist middle, sanctified= aorist passive,
justified= aorist passive], ἀπολούω mid. wash oneself 1 Cor 6:11

19. Eph 5:6, God's Wrath Comes
• Eph 5:6 Let no one deceive you with empty
words, for because of such things God's wrath
comes [indicative present] on those who are disobedient.
• CSB Eph 5:6…is coming on the disobedient
• John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has
eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not
see life, for God's wrath remains [indicative present active]
on him."
• It doesn’t say “is put on him”.

20. Eph 5:6, Children Of The Devil
• Eph 5:6…on those who are disobedient.
• Mt 13:38…the good seed stands for the sons of the
kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one…
• John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you
want to carry out your father's desire…
• Ac 13:10 "You are a child of the devil and an enemy of
everything that is right!
• 1 John 3:10 This is how we know who the children of
God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone
who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor
is anyone who does not love his brother.

21. Eph 5:7, Not Partners
• Eph 5:7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
• 2 Co 6:14 Do not be yoked together with
unbelievers. For what do righteousness and
wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship
can light have with darkness?
• Ps 106:28
• They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor
• and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods

22. Ephesians 5:7-14
• Bible Knowledge Commentary says;
• “…Therefore verses 7-14 deal with church
discipline. Believers are to walk in the light, and
in so doing to expose other believers of any
works that are unfruitful so that they too may
walk in the light and please their Lord.”
• 1Co 5:1-2 …there is sexual immorality among
you…Shouldn't you rather have been filled with
grief and have put out of your fellowship the man
who did this?

23. Eph 5:8-9 For you were once
darkness, but now you are light in
the Lord. Live as children of light
9 (for the fruit of the light
consists in all goodness,
righteousness and truth)

24. Eph 5:10-14
and find out what pleases the Lord.
11 Have nothing to do with the
fruitless deeds of darkness, but
rather expose them. 12 For it is
shameful even to mention what the
disobedient do in secret. 13 But
everything exposed by the light
becomes visible, 14 for it is light
that makes everything visible. This
is why it is said: "Wake up, O
sleeper,

25. Eph 5:8…You Were Once Darkness
• Eph 5:8…you were once darkness…
• John 3:19-21 This is the verdict: Light has come
into the world, but men loved darkness instead of
light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone
who does evil hates the light, and will not come
into the light for fear that his deeds will be
exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth
comes into the light, so that it may be seen
plainly that what he has done has been done
through God."

26. Eph 5:13, Exposed By The Light
• Eph 5:13 But everything exposed by the light
becomes visible,
• Same Grk. “Exposed” as in John 3:20
• [GING] ἐλέγχω
ἐλέγχω—1. bring to light, expose, set forth J 3:20;
Eph 5:11, 13; Tit 2:15.—2. convict, convince, point
out J 8:46; Js 2:9; Tit 1:9, 13; Jd 15.—3. reprove,
correct Mt 18:15; Lk 3:19; 1 Ti 5:20; discipline,
punish Hb 12:5; Rv 3:19. [pg 62]

28. Eph 5:15-20, Live As Wise

29. Eph 5:15-20
• Eph 5:15-20 Be very careful, then, how you live
— not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most
of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand
what the Lord's will is. 18 Do not get drunk on
wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be
filled with the Spirit. 19 Speak to one another
with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and
make music in your heart to the Lord, 20 always
giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

church together and reported all that God had
done through them and how he had opened the

opened to me…

31. Eph 5 Has A Lot Of Abused Verses

• Eph 5:23…as Christ is the head of the church

32. Eph 5:18, Be Filled With The Spirit

continuing], passive [done to you]
• …*GING+ πληρόω

12:3; 16:6; Ac 2:2, 28; 5:28; Ro 1:29; Eph 5:18;
Phil 4:18;…

33. Eph 5:18, Be Filled With The Spirit
• Eph 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which
leads to debauchery. Instead,…
• Contrasting “filled with the spirit” with filled
with wine
• filled with wine is a choice you make, then the
power of the wine takes control of you
• When you yield to the imperative to be “filled
with the spirit” then the Spirit exercises
control in your life

34. Eph 5:18, Be Filled With The Spirit
• Mt 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they will be filled…

were coming here — has sent me so that you

strong link between 5:18–21 and what follows, so the
paragraph division which has been placed between 5:21
and 22 should not be viewed as a complete break in the
author's thought…”
• Husbands, check list verses 18-21 before you read 22
• Eph 5:18-21….be filled with the Spirit. 19 Speak to one
another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and
make music in your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving

Lord Jesus Christ. 21 Submit to one another out of
reverence for Christ.
• Then you’re ready to read vs. 22

42. Eph 5:22-24, Roles, Not Worth/Ability
• Eph 5:22-24 Wives, submit to your husbands
as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head
of the wife as Christ is the head of the church,
his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as
the church submits to Christ, so also wives
should submit to their husbands in everything.

43. Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, Love Your
Wives, Even When It’s Difficult
• Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as
Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up
for her,
• Dr. Talbot while speaking at The Church Of The
Open Door, after teaching on Ephesians 5:22
“Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to
the Lord,” was confronted by a very angry woman
who said, “Sir, if you were why my husband, I’d
poison you.” He replied,
• “Woman, if you were why my wife I would drink
the poison.”

44. Eph 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives,
just as Christ loved the church and gave
himself up for her 26 to make her holy,
cleansing her by the washing with water
through the word, 27 and to present her
to himself as a radiant church, without
stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but
holy and blameless.

45. Eph 5:25-27, Love Your Wives Sacrificially
• Eph 5:25-27…just as Christ gave himself up for
her
• Wives are never commanded to “give herself
up for him”
• But the wife is told; CSB Eph 5:33 …the wife is
to respect…

46. Ken Davis, Husband Learns Love Is
More Than Words
• For the first 15 years of my marriage, I was a terrible husband. Diane
held down a full-time job, became my secretary, mothered our
daughters, and waited on me hand and foot without ever demanding
that I lift a finger to help. I loved my wife very much, but I hadn't yet
learned how to show my love. I had a lesson to learn, and God used a
vacuum cleaner to teach it.
• I learned many things about vacuuming one day. First, I learned that
our cat was terrified of vacuum cleaners. That kept me entertained for
about an hour.
• As I vacuumed in one direction, a stripe would appear. Going the
opposite direction would create a stripe of a different shade.
Entranced, I striped the whole room. Then I went crossways, creating a
checkerboard pattern. I got so carried away that I dusted the furniture
and straightened the entire house.

47. Ken Davis, Husband Learns Love Is
More Than Words
• I was once again embedded in the easy chair, working on
my crossword puzzle, when Diane came home. She
struggled through the door with a bag of groceries under
each arm, kicked the door shut with one foot, and then
took in the house with an expert glance. Her mouth
dropped open. Slowly the bags slipped from her grasp and
dropped to the floor. "Who did this?" she asked.
• "I did," I said. Without warning, she attacked. Diving on me
before I could get out of the chair, she smothered me with
kisses and hugs, showering gratitude on me for helping her.
The kisses grew more passionate. We broke the chair. It was
wonderful!
• The vacuum cleaner taught me an important lesson that
day. Love is expressed with more than just words.

48. Eph 5:28-33
• Eph 5:28-33 In this same way, husbands ought to love
their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife
loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated his own
body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does
the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother
and be united to his wife, and the two will become one
flesh." 32 This is a profound mystery — but I am
talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each
one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself,
and the wife must respect her husband.

49. Eph 5:25+33, Love vs. Respect
• Eph 5:25 Husbands, love [Mood - Imperative] your
wives…
• Eph 5:33..the wife must respect [Mood - Subjunctive]
her husband. [Subjunctive = should, would, could]
• NET NIV Eph 5:33…the wife must respect …
• ESV NKJ KJV Eph 5:33 …see that she reverence...
• NAS NAU Eph 5:33 …the wife must see to it that
• CSB Eph 5:33 …the wife is to respect…

50. Eph 5:28, Husbands Ought To Love
• Eph 5:28-33 In this same way, husbands
ought to love their wives as their own
bodies…
• 3784 ὀφείλω opheilo {of-i'-lo}
• Meaning: 1) to owe 1a) to owe money, be in
debt for 1a1) that which is due, the debt…
• Eph 5:28….as their own bodies…
• HOW MUCH!!!!!!!

51. • Eph 5:31…the
two will
become one
flesh

52. Eph 5:33, As He Loves Himself
• Eph 5:33…each one of you also must love his
wife as he loves himself…

53. Earth people, do not treat me like a Martian.
God
THE END

54. What do I have to do to get your attention?
