(Get more out of this message by talking it over with your family around the lunch table, at your next small group meeting, or with a friend or two at your favorite coffee shop)

Why do you think Paul emphasizes the importance of avoiding even a hint of sexual immorality, impurity, or covetousness among believers? How does this reflect on our witness as Christians?
Paul warns against "obscenity, foolish talk, or coarse joking". How do our words reflect the condition of our hearts, and what practical steps can we take to ensure our speech is always edifying?
In verse 5, Paul states that no immoral, impure, or greedy person has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ. How should this reality shape our daily choices and priorities as followers of Jesus?
