Ephesians 5:2-6

International Standard Version

² Live lovingly, just as the Messiah^[a] also loved us^[b] and gave himself for us as an offering and sacrifice, a fragrant aroma to God. ³ Do not let sexual sin, impurity of any kind, or greed even be mentioned among you, as is proper for saints. ⁴ Obscene, flippant, or vulgar talk is totally inappropriate. Instead, let there be thanksgiving. ⁵ For you know very well that no immoral or impure person, or anyone who is greedy (that is, an idolater), has an inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah^[c] and of God.

Living in the Light

⁶ Do not let anyone deceive you with meaningless words, for it is because of these things that God becomes angry with those who disobey.^[d]
