Ephesians 5:1-6

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Therefore become imitators of God, as beloved children,

2 and live in love, just as also Christ loved us, and gave himself for us an offering and sacrifice to God for a fragrant smell.

3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or greediness, must not even be named among you (as is fitting for saints),

4 and obscenity, and foolish talk, or coarse jesting (which [are] not proper), but rather thanksgiving.

5 For this you know {for certain}, that every sexually immoral [person], or unclean [person], or greedy [person] (who 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 on the sons of disobedience.

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.
