Ephesians:5:3-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But fornication ,
and all uncleanness ,
or covetousness ,
let it not be once named among you ,
as becometh saints ;
*
Neither filthiness ,
nor foolish talking ,
nor jesting ,
which are not convenient :
but rather giving of thanks .
*
For this ye know ,
that no whoremonger ,
nor unclean person ,
nor covetous man ,
who is an idolater ,
hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God .
*
Let no man deceive you with vain words :
for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience .
*
Be not ye therefore partakers with them .
*
For ye were sometimes darkness ,
but now are ye light in the Lord :
walk as children of light :
* (
For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth ;)
*
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord .
*
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness ,
but rather reprove them .
*
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret .
*
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light :
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light .
*
Wherefore he saith ,
Awake thou that sleepest ,
and arise from the dead ,
and Christ shall give thee light .
*
See then that ye walk circumspectly ,
not as fools ,
but as wise ,
*
Redeeming the time ,
because the days are evil .
*
Wherefore be ye not unwise ,
but understanding what the will of the Lord is .
