  1. 2Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
  2. 3But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
  3. 4nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.
  4. 5Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
  5. 6Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
