Ephesians 5:4 In-Context

2 And live and act lovingly, as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up to death on our behalf as an offering and sacrifice to God, yielding a fragrant odor.
3 But fornication and every kind of impurity, or covetousness, let them not even be mentioned among you, for they ought not to be named among God's people.
4 Avoid shameful and foolish talk and low jesting--they are all alike discreditable--and in place of these give thanks.
5 For be well assured that no fornicator or immoral person and no money-grubber--or in other words idol-worshipper--has any share awaiting him in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming upon the disobedient.
