Ephesians 5:3-5

Walk in Love

3 But p sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness q must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. 4 Let there be r no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, s which are out of place, but instead t let there be thanksgiving. 5 For you may be sure of this, that u everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous ( v that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
