Ephesians 5:3-20

3But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints.

4Obscene and foolish talking or crude joking are not suitable, but rather giving thanks.

5For know and recognize this: Every sexually immoral or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, does not have an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things.

7Therefore, do not become their partners.

8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light  —

9for the fruit of the light consists of all goodness, righteousness, and truth  —

10testing what is pleasing to the Lord.

11Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them.

12For it is shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret.

13Everything exposed by the light is made visible,

14for what makes everything visible is light. Therefore it is said: Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.

15Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk — not as unwise people but as wise —

16making the most of the time, because the days are evil.

17So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

18And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless living, but be filled by the Spirit:

19speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music with your heart to the Lord,

20giving thanks always for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
