Ephesians 5:3-17

Ephesians 5:3-17 CSB

But sexual immorality  and any impurity  or greed  should not even be heard of  among you, as is proper for saints. Obscene and foolish talking or crude joking are not suitable, but rather giving thanks. For know and recognize this: Every sexually immoral  or impure  or greedy  person, who is an idolater, does not have an inheritance in the kingdom  of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath  is coming on the disobedient  because of these things. Therefore, do not become their partners. For you were once darkness, but now you are light  in the Lord. Walk as children of light   —  for the fruit of the light  consists of all goodness, righteousness, and truth   —  testing  what is pleasing  to the Lord. Don’t participate in the fruitless  works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret. Everything exposed by the light is made visible,  for what makes everything visible is light. Therefore it is said: Get up, sleeper,  and rise up from the dead,  and Christ will shine on you.  Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk — not as unwise people but as wise —  making the most of the time,  , because the days are evil. So don’t be foolish, but understand  what the Lord’s will  is.
