1. Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;
2. and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.
3. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
4. nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
5. For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
