Ephesians 5:1-9

Ephesians 5:1-9 CSB

Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children, and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us,  a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God. But sexual immorality  and any impurity  or greed  should not even be heard of  among you, as is proper for saints. Obscene and foolish talking or crude joking are not suitable, but rather giving thanks. For know and recognize this: Every sexually immoral  or impure  or greedy  person, who is an idolater, does not have an inheritance in the kingdom  of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath  is coming on the disobedient  because of these things. Therefore, do not become their partners. For you were once darkness, but now you are light  in the Lord. Walk as children of light   #— # for the fruit of the light  consists of all goodness, righteousness, and truth   #— #
