Ephesians 5:3-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 But sexual immorality(A) and any impurity(B) or greed(C) should not even be heard of[a] among you, as is proper for saints. 4 Coarse and foolish talking or crude joking are not suitable, but rather giving thanks. 5 For know and recognize this: Every sexually immoral(D) or impure(E) or greedy(F) person, who is an idolater, does not have an inheritance in the kingdom(G) of the Messiah and of God.
