Ephesians 5:3-11

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Ephesians 5:3-11

          3But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed.
          4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving.
          5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

⁶Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

⁷Therefore do not be partakers with them.

          8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
          9for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.
          10Test and prove what pleases the Lord.

¹¹Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

— Ephesians 5:3-11
