1. Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
2. Walk in love, even as Messiah also loved us, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
3. But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes holy ones;
4. nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.
5. Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Messiah and God.
6. Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
