## Ephesians 5:19-21 in Context (Verses 16–24 KJV)
 
 [16 ](/kjv/ephesians/5/16) Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/ephesians/5/17) Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord *is*.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/ephesians/5/18) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
 
 [19 ](/kjv/ephesians/5/19) Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
 
 [20 ](/kjv/ephesians/5/20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
 
 [21 ](/kjv/ephesians/5/21) Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/ephesians/5/22) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/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.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/ephesians/5/24) Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so *let* the wives *be* to their own husbands in every thing.
 
[Ephesians 4](/kjv/ephesians/4) [Ephesians 6](/kjv/ephesians/6)
