1. Therefore, as most beloved sons, be imitators of God.
2. And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and delivered himself for us, as an oblation and a sacrifice to God, with a fragrance of sweetness.
3. But let not any kind of fornication, or impurity, or rapacity so much as be named among you, just as is worthy of the saints,
4. nor any indecent, or foolish, or abusive talk, for this is without purpose; but instead, give thanks.
5. For know and understand this: no one who is a fornicator, or lustful, or rapacious (for these are a kind of service to idols) holds an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
