Ephesians 5:3-7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
But Don’t Let Any Kind of Impurity Or Greed Exist Among You
3 But let sexual-immorality and all impurity or greed not even be named[a] among you, as is proper for saints— 4 and filthiness[b] and foolish-talk or coarse-joking[c], which are not fitting, but rather thanksgiving.
You Know This Is Right, So Don’t Be Partakers With Those Inheriting Wrath
5 For you know this[d]— recognizing[e] that every sexually-immoral or impure or greedy person (that is, an idolater) does not have an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of [f] disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be fellow-partakers with them.
