Ephesians 5:1-7

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

2 and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor.

3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let them not once be named among you, as becometh saints;

4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not befitting, but rather giving of thanks.

5 For this ye know: that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

7 Be ye not therefore partakers with them.

New International Version NIV

1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children

2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.

4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.

7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
