Ephesians 5:3-7
Christian Standard Bible
3 But sexual immorality(A) and any impurity(B) or greed(C) should not even be heard of[a] among you, as is proper for saints. 4 Obscene and foolish talking or crude joking are not suitable, but rather giving thanks. 5 For know and recognize this: Every sexually immoral(D) or impure(E) or greedy(F) person, who is an idolater, does not have an inheritance in the kingdom(G) of Christ and of God.

6 Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath(H) is coming on the disobedient[b] because of these things. 7 Therefore, do not become their partners.

Ephesians 5:3-7
New Living Translation
3 Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. 4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. 5 You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
6 Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him. 7 Don’t participate in the things these people do.

3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,(A) or of any kind of impurity, or of greed,(B) because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk(C) or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.(D) 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater(E)—has any inheritance(F) in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a](G) 6 Let no one deceive you(H) with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath(I) comes on those who are disobedient.(J) 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
