Ephesians 5:1-6 - Imitators Of God

1 Copy God, then, as his beloved children, 2 and lead lives of love, just as Christ loved you and gave himself up for you to be a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3 Never let any sexual vice or impurity or lust be so much as mentioned by you ??that is the proper course for saints to take; 4 no, nor indecent, silly, or scurrilous talk ??all that is improper. Rather, voice your thanks to God. 5 Be sure of this, that no one guilty of sexual vice or impurity or lust (that is, an idolater) possesses any inheritance in the realm of Christ and God.

6 Let no one deceive you with specious arguments; these are the vices that bring down God's anger on the sons of disobedience.
