Ephesians 5:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 (A)[a]But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as it becometh Saints,
4 Neither filthiness, neither foolish talking, neither [b]jesting, which are things not comely, but rather giving of thanks.
5 [c]For this ye know, that no whoremonger, neither unclean person, nor covetous person, which is an [d]idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.

- Ephesians 5:3 Now he cometh to another kind of affections, which is in that part of the mind, which men call covetous or desirous: and he reprehended fornication, covetousness, and jesting, very sharply.
- Ephesians 5:4 Jests which men cast one at another: that no lightness be seen, nor evil example given, nor any offense moved by evil words or backbiting.
- Ephesians 5:5 Because these sins are such that the most part of men count them not for sins, he awaketh the godly, to the end they should so much the more take heed to themselves from them, as most hurtful plagues.
- Ephesians 5:5 A bondslave to idolatry, for the covetous man thinketh that his life standeth in his goods.
