MNT(i)
1 Learn then to imitate God as his beloved children,
2 and to lead lives of love, just as Christ also loved you and gave himself up for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for "an odor of sweetness."
3 As for sexual vice and every kind of impurity or lust, it is unbecoming for you as Christians even to mention them;
4 so too with vulgarity and buffoonery and foolish jesting. Such words become you not, but rather thanksgiving.
5 For be well assured that no one guilty of fornication or impurity or covetousness which is idolatry, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with empty arguments, for it is these vices that bring down the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience;
7 therefore do not become sharers with them.
8 For you were once darkness, but are now in the Lord.
9 Lead the life of children of light, for the fruit of the light consists in every kind of goodness and uprightness and truth.
10 Examine carefully what is well pleasing to the Lord,
11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness, but rather expose them.
