Ephesians 5:2

Imitators Of God

¹ BE ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; ² and walk in love as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us, an oblation and sacrifice to God, for an odour of a sweet smell. ³ But fornication and all impurity, or insatiable desire, let it not be mentioned among you, as becometh saints;
