Ephesians 5:1-6

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. 6Let no manG3778 deceive you with emptyG2756 wordsG3056: for because of these thingsG3778 cometh the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 upon the sonsG5207 of disobedienceG543.
