Ephesians 5:3-20

3But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints;

4and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving.

5For this ye are [well] informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and 1God.

6Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of 2God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

7Be not ye therefore fellow-partakers with them;

8for ye were once darkness, but now light in [the] Lord; walk as children of light,

9(for the fruit of the light [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth,)

10proving what is agreeable to the Lord;

11and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove [them],

12for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say.

13But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.

14Wherefore he says, Wake up, [thou] that sleepest, and arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.

15See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,

16redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what [is] the will of the Lord.

18And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,

19speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord;

20giving thanks at all times for all things to him [who is] 3God and [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
