New Testament

Ephesians 5:1-4 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. You are the children that God dearly loves. So be just like him.

2. Lead a life of love, just as Christ did. He loved us. He gave himself up for us. He was a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to God.

3. There should not be even a hint of sexual sin among you. Don't do anything unclean. And do not always want more and more. Things like that are not what God's holy people should do.

4. There must not be any unclean speech or foolish talk or dirty jokes. All of them are out of place. Instead, you should give thanks.
