WORD Research this...Ephesians 5
- 1 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;
- 2 and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.
- 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
- 4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
- 5 For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
- 6 Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.
- 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them;
- 8 for ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
- 9 (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
- 10 proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;
- 11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;
- 12 for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of.
- 13 But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
- 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.
- 15 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
- 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
- 17 Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
- 18 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;
- 19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
- 20 giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
- 21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
- 22 Wives, be in subjection unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
- 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.
- 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.
- 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
- 26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
- 27 that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
- 28 Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:
- 29 for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;
- 30 because we are members of his body.
- 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.
- 32 This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.
- 33 Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she fear her husband.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
