2 After general exhortations, to love, 3 to fly fornication, 4 and all uncleanness, 7

BE

E aye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, cas Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

3 But e fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, flet it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, h which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

5 For this ye know, that ino whoremonger, nor unclean perSon, nor covetous man, kwho is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 mLet no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of I disobedience.

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

r

8 P For ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light; 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of 1 Thess. 5. 5. darkness, but rather reprove them.
