11ThereforeG3767 be imitatorsG3402 of GodG2316, as belovedG27 childrenG5043; 2and 2walkG4043 in loveG26, justG2531 asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 3lovedG25 4you and 5gaveG3860 HimselfG1438 upG3860 for us, an 6offeringG4376 and a sacrificeG2378 to GodG2316 7as a 8fragrantG2175 aromaG3744.
3But 9sexualG4202 immoralityG4202 10orG2532 anyG3956 impurityG167 orG2228 greedG4124 must not evenG3366 be mentionedG3687 amongG1722 you, as is properG4241 among 11saintsG40; 4and there must be no 12filthinessG151 13or foolishG3473 talkG3473, orG2228 vulgarG2160 jokingG2160, whichG3739 14are not fittingG433, but ratherG3123 15givingG2169 ofG2169 thanksG2169. 5For thisG3778 you knowG3609 with certaintyG1097, that 16noG3756G3956 sexuallyG4205 immoralG4205 orG2228 17impureG169 orG2228 greedyG4123 personG4123, whichG3739 18amounts to an idolaterG1496, hasG2192 an inheritanceG2817 in the kingdomG932 19of ChristG5547 and GodG2316.
620See that noG3367 oneG3367 deceivesG538 you with emptyG2756 wordsG3056, for becauseG1223 of theseG3778 thingsG3778 21the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 comesG2064 upon 22the 23sonsG5207 of disobedienceG543. 7ThereforeG3767 do not becomeG1096 24partnersG4830 with them; 8for 25you were onceG4218 26darknessG4655, but nowG3568 you are lightG5457 in the LordG2962; walkG4043 as 27childrenG5043 of lightG5457 9(for 28the fruitG2590 of the lightG5457 consists in allG3956 29goodnessG19, righteousnessG1343, and truthG225),
