Ephesians 5:4

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

And since they did not see fit to retain the knowledge of God, God gave them over to a base mind, to do what ought not to be done.

Therefore, though I am bold enough in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord,

I do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

However, boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

You also must help us by your prayers, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.

For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you in return for all the joy which we feel for your sake before our God,

give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.
