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

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.
— Ephesians 5:3-5
