Ephesians 5:1-11

Noyes(i) 1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; 2 and walk in love, as Christ also loved you, and gave himself for you an offering and a sacrifice to God, of a sweet odor. 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints, 4 neither obscenity, nor foolish talking, nor indecent jesting, which are not becoming; but rather giving of thanks. 5 For of this ye are sure, since ye know that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with vain words; for because of these things the wrath of God cometh upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Be not therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, 9 for the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth, 10 proving what is acceptable to the Lord; 11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
