Ephesians 5:3-13

3But 1immoralityG4202 2orG2532 anyG3956 impurityG167 orG2228 greedG4124 must not evenG3366 be namedG3687 amongG1722 you, as is properG4241 among 3saintsG40; 4and there must be no 4filthinessG151 and sillyG3473 talkG3473, orG2228 coarseG2160 jestingG2160, whichG3739 5are not fittingG433, but ratherG3123 6givingG2169 of thanksG2169. 5For thisG3778 you knowG3609 with certaintyG1097, that 7noG3756G3956 8immoralG4205 orG2228 impureG169 personG169 orG2228 covetousG4123 manG4123, whoG3739 is an idolaterG1496, hasG2192 an inheritanceG2817 in the kingdomG932 9of ChristG5547 and GodG2316.

610Let noG3367 oneG3367 deceiveG538 you with emptyG2756 wordsG3056, for becauseG1223 of theseG3778 thingsG3778 11the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 comesG2064 upon 12the sonsG5207 of disobedienceG543. 7ThereforeG3767 do not be 13partakersG4830 with them; 8for 14you were formerlyG4218 15darknessG4655, but nowG3568 you are LightG5457 in the LordG2962; walkG4043 as 16childrenG5043 of LightG5457 9(for 17the fruitG2590 of the LightG5457 consists in allG3956 18goodnessG19 and righteousnessG1343 and truthG225), 101920tryingG1381 to learnG1381 whatG5101 is pleasingG2101 to the LordG2962. 1121Do not participateG4790 in the unfruitfulG175 22deedsG2041 of 23darknessG4655, but insteadG3123 evenG2532 2425exposeG1651 them; 12for it is disgracefulG150 evenG2532 to speakG3004 of the things which are doneG1096 by them in secretG2931. 13But allG3956 thingsG3956 becomeG5319 visibleG5319 26when they are 27exposedG1651 by the lightG5457, for everythingG3956 that becomesG5319 visibleG5319 is lightG5457.
