Ephesians 5:1-8

5 Follow God\\u2019s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2\\xa0and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.\\xa0

3\\xa0But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God\\u2019s holy people. 4\\xa0Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5\\xa0For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person\\u2014such a person is an idolater\\u2014has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.\\xa0v 6\\xa0Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God\\u2019s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7\\xa0Therefore do not be partners with them.\\xa0
