Ephesians 5:1-11

DouayRheims(i) 1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children: 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness. 3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints: 4 Or obscenity or foolish talking or scurrility, which is to no purpose: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For know you this and understand: That no fornicator or unclean or covetous person (which is a serving of idols) hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. 7 Be ye not therefore partakers with them. 8 For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light. 9 For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justice and truth: 10 Proving what is well pleasing to God. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather reprove them.
