Text -- Ephesians 5:1-6 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
Live in Love
5:1 Therefore , be imitators of God as dearly loved children
5:2 and live in love , just as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us , a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God .
5:3 But among you there must not be either sexual immorality , impurity of any kind , or greed , as these are not fitting for the saints .
5:4 Neither should there be vulgar speech , foolish talk , or coarse jesting – all of which are out of character – but rather thanksgiving .
5:5 For 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 .
Live in the Light
5:6 Let nobody deceive you with empty words , for because of these things God’s wrath comes on the sons of disobedience .
