Ephesians 5:1-6

1Therefore, be imitators of God as dearly loved children

2and live in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.

3But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.

4Neither should there be vulgar speech, foolish talk, or coarse jesting – all of which are out of character – but rather thanksgiving.

5For you can be confident of this one thing: that no person who is immoral, impure, or greedy (such a person is an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

6Let nobody deceive you with empty words, for because of these things God’s wrath comes on the sons of disobedience.
