3. And do not let sexual immorality, or any impurity, or greed be named among you, as these are not proper among saints.
4. Let there be no filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse joking, which are not fitting. Instead, give thanks.
5. For this you know, that no sexually immoral or impure person, or one who is greedy, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience.
7. Therefore do not be partakers with them.
8. For you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light—
9. for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth—
10. proving what is pleasing to the Lord.
11. And do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness; instead, expose them.
12. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
13. But all things are exposed when they are revealed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.
14. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep,arise from the dead,and Christ will give you light.”
15. See then that you walk carefully, not as fools, but as wise men,
16. making the most of the time because the days are evil.
17. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
