BLB(i)
17 This therefore I say and testify in the Lord: You are no longer to walk as also the Gentiles are walking, in the futility of their mind,
18 being darkened in the understanding, being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance being in them on account of the hardness of their heart,
19 who, having cast off all feeling, have given themselves up to sensuality for the working of all impurity, with greediness for more.
20 But you have not learned Christ this way,
21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him just as the truth is in Jesus.
22 You are to have put off, concerning the former way of life, the old man, which is being corrupted according to its desires of deceit,
23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 and to have put on the new man, having been created according to God in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25 Therefore having put off falsehood, let each one speak truth with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.
26 “Be angry, and yet do not sin.” Let not the sun set upon your anger,
27 neither give opportunity to the devil.
28 The one stealing, let him steal no longer, but rather let him toil, working with the own hands what is good, so that he may have something to impart to the one having need.
29 Do not let any unwholesome word go forth out of your mouth, but only good, for edification of the need, so that it may give grace to those hearing.
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and rage, and anger, and clamor, and slander, be removed from you, along with all malice.
32 And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, as also in Christ God forgave you.
5 1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children,
2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave Himself up for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God, into an aroma of a sweet smell.
3 But let sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness not even be named among you, as also is proper to saints,
4 and filthiness, and foolish talking, or crude joking, which are not fitting, but rather thanksgiving.
5 For this you know, realizing that any fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous man, who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.
