Ephesians 5:1-7

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,

2 and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

3 and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

4 also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, -- the things not fit -- but rather thanksgiving;

5 for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.

6 Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

7 become not, then, 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.
