　　(Read Ephesians 5:1-2)

　　1 Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children

　　2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

　　3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.

　　4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

　　5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person-such a person is an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.Or "kingdom of the Messiah and God"
