1. Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,
2. and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,
3. and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
4. also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, --the things not fit--but rather thanksgiving;
5. for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.
6. Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,
7. become not, then, partakers with them,
8. for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,
9. for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,
