Eph 5:15-21

15* Watch carefully then how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise,m 16making the most of the opportunity, because the days are evil. 17Therefore, do not continue in ignorance, but try to understand what is the will of the Lord. 18And do not get drunk on wine, in which lies debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,n 19addressing one another [in] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and playing to the Lord in your hearts,o 20giving thanks always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.p

Wives and Husbands. 21* Be subordinate to one anotherq out of reverence for Christ.*

Lk 12:8-12

8I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God. 9But whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God.e

Sayings About the Holy Spirit.* 10“Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the holy Spirit will not be forgiven.f 11When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities,g do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say. 12For the holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.”
