WORD Research this...Ephesians 5
- 1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
- 2 Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
- 3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
- 4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.
- 5 Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
- 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
- 7 Therefore don’t be partakers with them.
- 8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
- 9 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
- 10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
- 11 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 revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
- 14 Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
- 15 Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
- 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
- 17 Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
- 18 Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
- 19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
- 20 giving thanks always concerning 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 subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
- 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
- 24 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
- 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, 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 assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.
- 28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
- 29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
- 30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
- 31 “For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.”
- 32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.
- 33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

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.
