Ephesians 5:3-11
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.
5:7 Therefore do not be partakers with them,
5:8 for you were at one time darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light –
5:9 for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth –
5:10 trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.
5:11 Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
