Ephesians 5:3-13

3ButG1161 amongG1722 youG4771, asG2531 is properG4241 among the saintsG40, there must not be even a hintG3366G3687 of sexual immoralityG4202, or of any kindG3956 of impurityG167, orG2228 of greedG4124. 4Nor should there be obscenityG151, foolish talkG3473, orG2228 crude jokingG2160, whichG3739 are out of characterG3756G433, butG235 ratherG3123 thanksgivingG2169. 5ForG1063 of thisG3778 you can be sureG1492G1097: No immoralG4205, impureG169, orG2228 greedy personG4123 (thatG3739 isG1510, an idolaterG1496) hasG2192 any inheritanceG2817 inG1722 theG3588 kingdomG932 of ChristG5547 andG2532 of GodG2316.

6Let no oneG3367 deceiveG538 youG4771 with emptyG2756 wordsG3056, forG1063 because ofG1223 such thingsG3778 theG3588 wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is comingG2064 onG1909 theG3588 sonsG5207 of disobedienceG543. 7ThereforeG3767 do notG3361 beG1096 partakersG4830 with themG846.

8ForG1063 you wereG1510 onceG4218 darknessG4655, butG1161 nowG3568 you are lightG5457 inG1722 the LordG2962. WalkG4043 asG5613 childrenG5043 of lightG5457, 9forG1063 theG3588 fruitG2590 of theG3588 lightG5457 consists inG1722 allG3956 goodnessG19, righteousnessG1343, andG2532 truthG225. 10Test and proveG1381 whatG5101 pleasesG1510G2101 theG3588 LordG2962.

Have no fellowship withG3361G4790 theG3588 fruitlessG175 deedsG2041 of darknessG4655, butG1161G2532 ratherG3123 exposeG1651 them. 12ForG1063 it isG1510 shamefulG150 evenG2532 to mentionG3004 whatG3588 the disobedient doG1096G5259G846 in secretG2931. 13ButG1161 everythingG3956 exposedG1651 byG5259 theG3588 lightG5457 becomes visibleG5319,1 forG1063 everythingG3956 thatG3588 is illuminatedG5319 becomesG1510 a lightG5457 itself.
