11ThereforeG3767 be imitatorsG3402 of GodG2316, as belovedG27 childrenG5043; 2and 2walkG4043 in loveG26, justG2531 as ChristG5547 alsoG2532 3lovedG25 4you and 5gaveG3860 HimselfG1438 up for us, an 6offeringG4376 and a sacrificeG2378 to GodG2316 7as a 8fragrantG2175 aromaG3744.
3But 9immoralityG4202 10orG2532 anyG3956 impurityG167 orG2228 greedG4124 must not evenG3366 be namedG3687 amongG1722 you, as is properG4241 among 11saintsG40; 4and there must be no 12filthinessG151 and sillyG3473 talkG3473, orG2228 coarseG2160 jestingG2160, whichG3739 13are not fittingG433, but ratherG3123 14givingG2169 of thanksG2169. 5For thisG3778 you knowG3609 with certaintyG1097, that 15noG3756G3956 16immoralG4205 orG2228 impureG169 personG169 orG2228 covetousG4123 manG4123, whoG3739 is an idolaterG1496, hasG2192 an inheritanceG2817 in the kingdomG932 17of ChristG5547 and GodG2316.
618Let noG3367 oneG3367 deceiveG538 you with emptyG2756 wordsG3056, for becauseG1223 of theseG3778 thingsG3778 19the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 comesG2064 upon 20the sonsG5207 of disobedienceG543. 7ThereforeG3767 do not be 21partakersG4830 with them; 8for 22you were formerlyG4218 23darknessG4655, but nowG3568 you are LightG5457 in the LordG2962; walkG4043 as 24childrenG5043 of LightG5457 9(for 25the fruitG2590 of the LightG5457 consists in allG3956 26goodnessG19 and righteousnessG1343 and truthG225),
