Ephesians 5:1-4
11Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2and 2walk in love, just as Christ also 3loved 4you and 5gave Himself up for us, an 6offering and a sacrifice to God 7as a 8fragrant aroma.
3But 9immorality 10or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among 11saints; 4and there must be no 12filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which 13are not fitting, but rather 14giving of thanks.
