¶ But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you as becomes saints,

neither dishonest words nor foolishness nor low jesting, which are not convenient, but rather giving of thanks.

For this ye know, that no fornicator nor unclean person nor covetous man, who is also an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Be not ye, therefore, partakers with them.

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. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk(C) or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.(D) 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) 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) Therefore do not be partners with them.
