Ephesians 5:3-7
New American Standard Bible
3 But (A)sexual immorality [a]or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among [b]saints; 4 and there must be no (B)filthiness [c]or foolish talk, or vulgar joking, which (C)are not fitting, but rather (D)giving of thanks. 5 For this you know with certainty, that (E)no sexually immoral or [d]impure or greedy person, which [e]amounts to an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom (F)of Christ and God.
6 (G)See that no one deceives you with empty words, for because of these things (H)the wrath of God comes upon (I)the [f]sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not become (J)partners with them;

Ephesians 5:3-7
International Standard Version
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[a] and of God.

New International Version
Ephesians 5:3-7
New International Version
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.
