Ephesians 5: 1 - 8
|
| 1
|
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
|
| 2
|
And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
|
| 3
|
But fornication and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints.
|
| 4
|
Let there be no filthiness, nor silly talk, nor levity, which are not fitting; but instead let there be thanksgiving.
|
| 5
|
Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure man, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
|
| 6
|
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
|
| 7
|
Therefore do not associate with them,
|
| 8
|
for once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light
