Ephesians 5:3-11 But you should not even talk about sexual immorality, or any type of moral impurity, or greed. Note: Possibly “greed” here means “desire for more” of such things. Such talk is not suitable for saints i.e., God’s holy people.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ But you should not even talk about sexual immorality, or any type of [moral] impurity, or greed. [Note: Possibly “greed” here means “desire for more” of such things]. Such talk is not suitable for saints [i.e., God’s holy people]. ⁴ Nor should obscenity, silly chatter or double-meaning jokes be used, because they are not proper either. But instead, [you should express] thanksgiving. ⁵ For you [should] know this for certain: No sexually immoral or [morally] impure person, or greedy person, who is [the same as] an idol worshiper, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ⁶ Do not let anyone deceive you with empty words, for because of such things, the wrath of God will fall upon people who are disobedient [to Him]. ⁷ So, do not participate with such individuals, ⁸ for you people were once darkness [i.e., when living in sin], but now you are light in [fellowship with] the Lord. [So], live like people who belong to light [i.e., who live godly lives], ⁹ (for the product of light consists of everything good and right and true). ¹⁰ Then you will demonstrate [or, “learn about”] a life that is very pleasing to the Lord. ¹¹ Do not have fellowship with [people who practice] worthless deeds of darkness [i.e., sinful living], but expose them instead.
