Ephesians 5:1-6

1 Therefore, imitate God like dearly loved children.
2 Live your life with love, following the example of Christ, who loved us and gave himself for us. He was a sacrificial offering that smelled sweet to God.
3 Sexual immorality, and any kind of impurity or greed, shouldn't even be mentioned among you, which is right for holy persons.
4 Obscene language, silly talk, or vulgar jokes aren't acceptable for believers. Instead, there should be thanksgiving.
5 Because you know for sure that persons who are sexually immoral, impure, or greedy—which happens when things become gods—those persons won't inherit the kingdom of Christ and God.

Be children of light

6 Nobody should deceive you with stupid ideas. God's anger comes down on those who are disobedient because of this kind of thing.
