Ephesians 5:1-8 (Epistle)
- 1
- Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
- 2
- And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
- 3
- But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;
- 4
- neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
- 5
- For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
- 6
- Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
- 7
- Therefore do not be partakers with them.
- 8
- For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
