Ephesians 5:2-6
New International Version
2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us(A) and gave himself up for us(B) as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.(C)
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,(D) or of any kind of impurity, or of greed,(E) because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk(F) or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.(G) 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater(H)—has any inheritance(I) in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a](J) 6 Let no one deceive you(K) with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath(L) comes on those who are disobedient.(M)
