1. Be ye therefore imitators of God, as dear children
2. and walk in charity even as the Christ also has loved us and has given himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.
3. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you as becomes saints,
4. neither dishonest words nor foolishness nor low jesting, which are not convenient, but rather giving of thanks.
5. For this ye know, that no fornicator nor unclean person nor covetous man, who is also an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
