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 9sexual immorality 10or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among 11saints; 4and there must be no 12filthiness 13or foolish talk, or vulgar joking, which 14are not fitting, but rather 15giving of thanks.
