Ephesians 5:1-5

1Be ye thereforeG3767 imitatorsG3402 of GodG2316, as belovedG27 childrenG5043; 2and walkG4043 in loveG26, evenG2532 as ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 you, and gave himself up for us, an offeringG4376 and a sacrificeG2378 to GodG2316 for an odor of a sweet smell.

3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousnessG4124, let it not evenG2532 be named among you, as becometh saintsG40; 4nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but ratherG3123 giving of thanks. 5For this ye knowG1097 of a surety, that no fornicator, nor uncleanG169 person, nor covetousG4123 manG3778, who isG1510 an idolaterG1496, hath any inheritanceG2817 in the kingdomG932 of ChristG5547 and GodG2316.
