Ephesians 5:1-7 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
Follow God's example in everything you do, because you are his dear children.
2
Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to him.
3
Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God's people.
4
Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes -- these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God.
5
You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is really an idolater who worships the things of this world.
6
Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the terrible anger of God comes upon all those who disobey him.
7
Don't participate in the things these people do.
