- Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
- Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
- But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
- nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.
- Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
- Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
- Therefore don't be partakers with them.
- For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
- for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
- proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
- Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
- For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
- But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.

- redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
- Therefore don't be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
- Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
- speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and singing praises in your heart to the Lord;
- giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
