Riverside(i)
1 BE imitators of God as beloved children
2 and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God yielding a fragrant odor.
3 Unchastity or any kind of impurity or greediness must not be mentioned among you, as befits holy people;
4 nor should there be indecent and foolish talk or jesting, which are unbecoming, but rather thanksgiving.
5 For you know well that no unchaste or impure person, no greedy person — who is an idolater — has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words; for because of these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.
7 Do not, then, be partakers with them.
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live like children of light —
9 for the fruit of light appears in all generosity and righteousness and truth —
10 testing what is pleasing to the Lord,
11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them,
