1. You are God’s children whom he loves. So try to be like God.
2. Live a life of love. Love other people just as Christ loved us. Christ gave himself for us—he was a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to God.
3. But there must be no sexual immorality among you. There must not be any kind of evil or greed. Those things are not right for God’s holy people.
4. Also, there must be no evil talk among you. You must not speak foolishly or tell evil jokes. These things are not right for you. But you should be giving thanks to God.
5. You can be sure of this: No one will have a place in the kingdom of Christ and of God who engages in sexual sin, or does evil things, or is greedy. Anyone who is greedy is serving a false god.
6. Do not let anyone fool you by telling you things that are not true. These things will bring God’s anger on those who do not obey him.
