Ephesians 5:1-4 New English Translation (NET)

1. Therefore, be imitators of God as dearly loved children

2. and live in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.

3. But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.

4. Neither should there be vulgar speech, foolish talk, or coarse jesting – all of which are out of character – but rather thanksgiving.
