Ephesians 5 — Context

Neither should there be vulgar speech, foolish talk, or coarse jesting– all of which are out of character– but rather thanksgiving.

For you can be confident of this one thing: that no person who is immoral, impure, or greedy(such a person is an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Live in the Light Let nobody deceive you with empty words, for because of these things God’s wrath comes on the sons of disobedience.

Therefore do not be sharers with them,

for you were at one time darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live like children of light–

for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth–

trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.
