1 Therefore be imitators of God, as dearly loved children;
2 and walk in love, just as Messiah also loved us and gave Himself up for us as an offering and sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.
3 But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed—don’t even let these be mentioned among you, as is proper for kedoshim.
4 Obscene, coarse, and stupid talk are also out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
5 Know for certain that no immoral, indecent, or greedy person—who is really an idol worshipper at heart—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Messiah and God.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s judgment comes on the children of disobedience.
7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
