- Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children
- and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
- But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.
- Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
- For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

- Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;
- and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
- But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints;
- and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
- For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
